Version 1.1.4

[admin]

This release introduces a number of new components and contains some important bug fixes and enhancements.

There's a new Measure Text component that allows you to determine the exact area that text will occupy when displayed. This is very useful for creating dynamic layouts and areas of scrollable text. We've provided a new Text View module that shows this in use.

Other new components include String Array and Int Array switches, a Boolean Xor and three new bitwise Int operators. Several components have been enhanced in this release. The String to String Array allows you to split by field width, the Is Key Pressed has a trigger input to make testing key state easier and the System Folders component now allows you to get at just about any Windows folder on the host system.

The link hover highlighting was too subtle so we've improved that so that you can much more easily pick out the paths of links in more cluttered schematics. If you hover on a link it now gently fades to black or white.

Following on from the last release where we supported the Labjack U3-HV device we complete the pair in this update with the U3-LV component.

Finally, we have a new built in tutorial which you can get at via the Help menu.
