Build better embedded UIs. Meet the new Storyboard 5.1.

Earlier this year we introduced Storyboard Suite 5.0, which gave UI designers more control than ever over the aesthetic and user experience of embedded application projects. The release included a lot of new functionality and features for both designers and engineers, especially in Storyboard Designer.

We've recently made enhancements and updates to Storyboard with our latest release, Storyboard Suite 5.1. Don't worry, these updates won't trip you up much from a functionality perspective. We haven't moved around the elements in the UI or introduced anything to the workflow that will require you to invest too much time to get up to speed. We've tweaked some things behind the scenes to make UI development work a little smoother and faster. More importantly, we've extended the reach of embedded application development by introducing support for new platforms and technologies, making it easier to deliver Storyboard applications across markets and hardware.

Storyboard Designer 5.1 updates and enhancements

Here's what's new in Storyboard Designer:

• Eclipse - Storyboard Designer is now based on the Eclipse Framework NEON 4.6.
• x64 - Storyboard Designer has been switched from a 32-bit application to 64-bit on all hosted platforms.
• Cloning - When cloning an object, we now check to see if a control with the new name already exists, so that you don't have to.
• Keyboard Shortcuts to group and ungroup - We' ve introduced the concept of grouping and un-grouping through a new action bound to Control/Command + G and Control/Command + SHIFT + G.
• SCP - The SCP command execution now has the ability to write output to the console.
• Lua Debugger - Storyboard Designer now queries the Lua debug port number in use and passes it into the runtime.

Increased platform support
