Intuiface Change Log

v7.0.7

📅
September 15, 2022

Today's release has a heavy Headless CMS bent, introducing some smaller enhancements and bug fixes to streamline the use of our CMS in your project work. We could tell you what those are but that would ruin the surprise. Still, if you're interested, check out the Release Notes.

v.7.0.6

📅
August 1, 2022

We've added support for the WebP image format, a format created by Google to compress even more tightly than jpg, png, and gif files without a loss of quality. We also correct a few issues that were rubbing us the wrong way. Overall, it's a nice, little update during the hottest time of the year. Check out our Release Notes for the details.

v.7.0.5

📅
May 23, 2022

Our focus remains on Player Next Gen but we thought a couple issues in the shipping product needed addressing. In particular, we sped up the Player agent on Windows, critical for remote deployment and device monitoring. Our Release Notes have all the details, including the updates we've made to Intuiface cloud and infrastructure services supporting Headless CMS, Analytics, licensing, and more.

v.7.0.4

📅
March 28, 2022

Anyone displaying a website or web content in Intuiface on Windows will be happy to know that we've upgraded the web rendering engine in Player on Windows and Composer to Chromium Version 97. That's a lot of optimizations, enhancements, and bug fixes. We've also corrected the usual assortment of bugs that didn't need to be fixed because we never have bugs come on who are we kidding this product is flawless ok maybe not entirely. All details about the updates and fixes are in our Release Notes.

v.7.0.3

📅
January 17, 2022

Been a couple of months, so things have gone swimmingly - but now it's time for a few more Headless CMS updates and corrections. Folks are really starting to push the envelope, helping to ensure our CMS performs beautifully for everyone. All details about the updates and fixes are in our Release Notes.

v.7.0.2

📅
October 28, 2021

One significant improvement has been added: the ability to force a sync between the cloud-hosted master H-CMS base and the local copy of that base on a device. Can be initiated through Composer while editing or by an experience while running. Coupled with this are a few more tweaks plus additional corrections of Headless CMS issues. (We're thrilled to see how quickly everyone is starting to adopt and use it!) Like details? Our handy Release Notes will show you the way.

v.7.0.1

📅
October 7, 2021

It's natural to expect that with a brand new release, a small assortment of issues will have escaped our QA nets. Today's corrections are primarily about the shiny new Headless CMS, with a few extra updates thrown in. See our Release Notes for details.

v.7.0.0

📅
September 23, 2021

No, this is not a drill. Intuiface 7 is live! If you're new to Intuiface, then you may be unaware that the following two items have been on our mood board for a couple of years. Dreams do come true!

  • Player Next Gen
    Deploy experiences to the web and as an app on personal mobile devices. Supports phones/tablets/PCs running Windows, iOS, Android, macOS, and Linux. Plus achieve native code-like performance for all existing Player-supported platforms: Windows, iOS on the iPad, Android, BrightSign, Chrome, Samsung Tizen, and LG webOS. There is nothing like it in the industry.
  • Headless CMS
    A cloud-hosted repository enabling content managers to define, store, and manage the media and information consumed by Intuiface deployments anywhere in the world. It's a data-first approach, meaning users don't need any Intuiface knowledge. Based on tons of customer input this thing rocks.

And for you existing customers, we've also completely revamped our licensing model. It's an all-inclusive approach, meaning all Intuiface accounts have access to all Intuiface capabilities, even Analytics and Headless CMS. (In the past, Analytics was a separate purchase.)

We've posted information everywhere about this launch but a great place to start is our Intuiface 7 Launch Summary page and those three links above. We hope you enjoy!

v.6.7.0

📅
March 30, 2021

What feels more like a cool spring day than the introduction of Single Sign-On? Now you can use your company's in-house Identity Provider when logging into Intuiface. Zip up your wind breaker and make your IT team happy.... You'll find SSO and a few other tweaks in this release. All details are in our Release Notes.

Is the sky looking a bit more blue than usual?

v.6.6.2

📅
December 1, 2020

As haircuts go, this release is just a touch up. Notable is removal of the Flash Animation Asset in response to Adobe's decision to deactivate Flash starting in January 2021. You'll also find lots of little tweaks and improvements that will make use of Intuiface just a touch sweeter. Our Release Notes have all the details.

See Release Notes ➤

v.6.6.1

📅
September 28, 2020

What we've got here is a grab bag of improvements spanning all aspects of Intuiface. You'll find improved touch responsiveness on Windows, better support for multi-screen display walls, improvement to our BrightSign and Nexmosphere support, enhanced time management in Intuiface Analytics chart creation, and much more. Details abound in our Release Notes. We'll see you there!

v.6.6.0

📅
July 29, 2020

What kind of jokes can one tell during a quarantine? Inside jokes.... Yeah, that was awful. I'd tell you a better joke but I don't want to spread it around..... Ok, the good news is the team worked far harder on this release than we did on these jokes. What's new?

Of particular note, new Player activation options

  • Keyboard-free licensing options. Only a handheld device is required!
  • Batch licensing for any number of Players, enabling them to self-license.

Other updates include

  • a powerful approach for triggering actions using Player tags
  • brand new way to display websites on tablets
  • updated Web and video playback engines
  • multiple smaller improvements and assorted bug fixes

As always, you can get the details in our Release Notes. Are there more awful jokes in there? Only one way to find out!

v.6.5.5

📅
May 18, 2020

Here we have a mixed bag of small updates as we continue to round out and streamline Intuiface. It's like getting a trim at the hairdresser's instead of changing your entire style. It includes the ability to identify which Player is running a given experience instance, enabling that experience to make conditional decisions. You'll see what we mean by checking out the Release Notes.

See Release Notes ➤

v.6.5.4

📅
April 15, 2020

The era of COVID-19 inspires a look at touch alternatives and we've just produced our latest option: computer vision. At no cost you can now use any camera on a Windows PC to live stream information about the age, gender, head pose, emotion, and dwell time of the person in front of your digital display. With that information you can automatically display tailored content, enhance your analytics, and even - we're getting snazzy here - enable people to choose options using their head position.

This is all possible because of our integration with Intel's distribution of the OpenVINO toolkit. You can read all about our OpenVINO integration here.

Oh, and as always, we've also included a few additional updates and corrections. Check out those Release Notes!

v.6.5.3

📅
March 19, 2020

This small release focuses on the Player embedded in Composer so you can test your work. It also makes it easier for agencies and integrators to download the raw analytics data collected by their clients. If you're using Analytics, you know this is a big deal!

We've also fixed a couple of issues, including an accommodation of something Google did with the YouTube API. Sounds niche but it broke our integration! All better.

v.6.5.2

📅
March 11, 2020

Pandemic be damned, work must go one - and we've got some big news. BrightSign support! That's right, Intuiface has added its seventh supported platform. Now you can run you Intuiface experiences on the most popular digital media player on the planet.

We've made some other smaller updates, as well as implemented a few bug fixes - which you can read in the Release Notes - but let's not pretend this BrightSign announcement isn't a big deal. Rejoice from the safety of your home!

v.6.5.1

📅
January 27, 2020

In the light of the great reception for our Nexmosphere integration, we've decided to enhance our offering. (Reminder: Nexmosphere is a manufacturer of sensors and actuators like buttons, RFID readers, motion sensors, and LED light strips.)

  • Our Nexmosphere support includes Android-based devices, adding to our existing support on Windows.
  • Composer now ships with Nexmosphere integration out-of-the-box rather than requiring you to install it separately.

For you developers out there, we've also released a new JavaScript factory service so you can communicate with any device using a COM/serial port over USB connection.

See Release Notes ➤

v.6.5.0

📅
December 2, 2019

Christmas comes early! What surprises do we have in store?

  • Now you can schedule the remote deployment of experiences. Choose the dates/times/frequencies for deployment of any experience to any set of Players. Includes a full set of APIs if you'd prefer to create your own custom deployment interface.
  • Deployed experiences are now encrypted, making it impossible to open them in Composer. Think of it as a way to protect your intellectual property, particularly as an agency or integrator with clients.
  • We've added the ability to capture the total duration time for videos played off/on and over and over again, perfect for measuring "proof of play".
  • Event logs for Player - on the Event Log tab for each Player Details view in the Share and Deploy console - have been greatly enhanced, making it much easier to figure out what's going on and to troubleshoot results different from what you expect.

We've also collected a nice batch of bugs. I know, hard to believe any are in there!

v.6.4.5

📅
October 2, 2019

This is a 'by popular demand' release as we've addressed a long-standing limitation of Intuiface. It may not sound like much but for heavy Intuiface users, particularly those working with dynamic data sources, this is a very big deal.

Introducing Adaptive Text. If text overflows its container, the associated font will automatically decrease in size until a configurable minimum is reached. If the minimum font size has been reached and the text still cannot be fully displayed, multiple overflow options exist, including the ability to display scrollbars and enable scrolling through text with a swipe gesture.

There are a few additional updates, including a new enhancement for Intuiface Analytics. The Release Notes have the down-low.

See Release Notes ➤

v.6.4.1

📅
August 21, 2019

Added a few enhancements that directly pander to our long-time users.....We need to stop thinking out loud.

  • Added GLTF/GLB support in the 3D Model Asset. Those are the formats supported by Facebook.
  • Open "_blank" URLs with the Web Browser Asset. This is about links specifying that a new tab should be opened. In the past, Intuiface didn't support these links. Now you have the option of opening these pages in the same Web Browser used to select the link
  • Permit multi-touch interaction with content in the HTML Frame Asset.
  • Improved error messages. You probably won't notice these but we wanted you to know that no stone is left unturned.
  • A smattering of bug fixes to tidy things up.

The Release Notes have all the details so don't be shy and take a look.

v.6.4.0

📅
July 22, 2019

Out from the mists of a humid summer day has emerged a new feature release, glistening with the sweat of merciless keyboard-rendered exertion. What dost this release contain? Read on! (Side note: We used the word 'dost'!!!)

  • Introduction of auto-scrolling for all ordered collections. This means your collections can be configured to automatically move from one item to the next. For you signage people, think of it as an automated playlist.
  • Ability to disable manual collection scrolling - because you just don't want folks touching your good work.
  • The Swap Collection, formerly known as the Flip Collection, has five new animated transition options. In addition to flipping, there's sliding, fading, zooming, and more. See why we changed the name?
  • We've added a new Gauge Chart to the list of chart options for Intuiface Analytics. Use it to compare an actual value to a target or max value.
  • External media references can now use HTTPS even without use of our all-powerful interface asset capability. Not sure why this is a big deal? You'll have to trust us, it is to those who care.

Please see our Release Notes for additional detail. And don't forget your sunscreen!

v.6.3.13

📅
May 15, 2019

(Yes, we skipped Version 6.3.12. We laugh in the face of triskaidekaphobia.)

To commemorate the launch of new packaging and pricing for Intuiface Player, we also released a few crowd-pleaser updates - improving life for both experience designers and the data miners building charts and dashboards for stakeholders. It's a potpourri!

See Release Notes ➤

v.6.3.11

📅
April 18, 2019

(Yes, we skipped Version 6.3.10. The number 10 gets far too much attention. Time for some of the other numbers to shine.)

Herein lies a small set of annoying issues set to right. Most of you haven't seen them but for the minority, this release sets you free from the trials of bugdom. See the Release Notes for details.

v.6.3.9

📅
March 12, 2019

A quick-hit bug fix release paired with an update to our email support just so you know that our silence as of late isn't because we've stopped loving you. Rather, product stability has just been super good, giving us a chance to work on some new stuff. You're going to like it!

v.6.3.8

📅
December 19, 2018

We’ve mustered just enough strength from our Analytics launch to deliver one last batch of corrections for 2018. Why? For auld lang syne! Check the release notes for details.

Intuiface Analytics

📅
December 12, 2018

(There is no version number change as this release has no direct effect on Composer or Player.)

With Intuiface Analytics we're introducing a complete solution for transforming any interactive experience into an essential KPI resource. It takes our existing data collection capabilities and adds a brand new Charts & Dashboards feature.

What's new?

  • Powerful yet easy to adopt chart creation capabilities. Simple drag-and-drop approach to chart and filter creation. Includes 30+ chart styles and multiple configuration options for telling a story with data.
  • Agile dashboarding for chart organization and sharing. Organize charts by dashboard, sharing them via URL or embeddable iframe. Use for real-time insight or as snapshots in time. Customize with your own logo.
  • Extensive chart template library and demo data sets. For most of us, analytics is an unfamiliar skill. We've created 15+ chart templates and extensive demo data sets so you can experiment and gain experience.
  • Simplified packaging and licensing. Just three annual and one manual option to choose from. All support unlimited data point collection. Plans with dashboard support permit unlimited chart creation.

v.6.3.7

📅
November 28, 2018

We've added the modern Turkish Q keyboard and have fixed a few troubles. The Release Notes will be a special treat today because some of the corrected errors are derived from such complex scenarios that we thought it fun for you to read about them. Makes you forget your own troubles!

See Release Notes ➤

v.6.3.6

📅
November 13, 2018

A new small batch of corrections, highlighted by one crash condition that - though an edge case - was quite the burden for a couple of our users.
