This page provides a summary of changes in 2.4. For a complete list of all changes including bug and security fixes please refer to the Release Notes.
Major New Features
- Stacked Widgets: Arrange multiple widgets into the same location
- Tile Map Widget: Google like zoomable tile map making use of Open Street Map data.
- Sparklines: new micro-chart renderers for the table widget.
- Scrolling Text Widget: much more flexible and smoother scrolling replacement to the old Marquee widget.
- Content Export/Import: export one or more stacks and import onto a target system. This allows parts of one system to be overlaid into another system greatly improving workflow between different environments or groups responsible for separate parts of the production system.
Viewer Improvements
- Layout changes now saved: end-users can resize widget containers and this information is stored with the client allowing users to optimize the layout for their particular monitor and preference.
- Home Icon for Web Widgets: new home icon is now visible in the widget title bar for web-widgets allowing the user to quickly restore the configured home URL.
- Improved in-widget search: The search field is now toggled via a icon in the widget title bar. This saves space in the default case and also encourages search via the widely recognized magnifying glass icon.
