Hi dingle, where's the fun in that?

a bunch of mobile app stuff: onswipeleft, onswiperight, app icons and splash, hide address bar, hide browser nav, block page scrolling, inertial dynamic panel scrolling (ios5), status bar style
new options in set panel state: next, previous, value (by index or name... can use a variable or a calculated value)

ex. swiping carousel

OnSwipeLeft
Set Panel to Next
OnSwipeRight
Set Panel to Previous

ex. iphone app

Bookmark the prototype page on your iPhone
See the icon on your home screen
Click the icon, see a splash screen while loading
Page loads full screen without browser nav and a translucent status bar
Scrolling panel scrolls like native page scrolling
Dragging the widgets does not pull the page off the edges (more app-like)

Hi all,

There is a new build up today. 6.5.0.2993, Download Beta | Axure.

- Fixed bug with image disappearing when it is fully optimized and is attempted to be optimized again
- Fixed a bug adding newlines to Tables using Ctrl/Shift-Enter while editing

Hi all,

New build, 6.5.0.2994, Download Beta | Axure.

Most Important: We had to change the file format this time around because of the new shapes for callouts and the iPad splash screen. This means you can't open files updated to this beta in earlier versions and if you are sharing files make sure everyone upgrades together.

We are pushing out this build quickly because the last build broke changing the Font Color in Rollovers and other state styles.

Axure RP 6.5.0.2994
- Added new Button Shapes (Drop, Square Bracket, Curly Bracket) for callouts
- Added separate splash screens for ipad portrait and landscape
- Fixed Rollover style not applying Font Color
- Fixed MouseLeave Interaction not always applying correctly
- Fixed Line object length when it has a larger thickness and rotation
- Fixed toggling IF/ELSE IF when multiple cases are selected in the Interactions panel
- Merging selection a little better when selecting child objects (the selection defaults to the parents)
- Slicing rotated images
- Fixed double rotated text during Convert To Image or when "Render text panels as images" is set to true during Prototype generation
- Added a help link to specific widget information in the Widgets panel
- Fixed conditioning off of the text of rich text objects

- Fixed a category of Connector bugs/crashes
- Putting CSV onto the clipboard, so copying and pasting to and from Excel should work much better
