• Session save on Exit: The builder will now prompt you to save before you exit.

• New Splash Screen and Home Tab: If you’re a new user, you’ll be presented with a new splash screen showing some cool new videos about Bungee and some example applications that can be run, including the new WideLens calendar.
• Firefox 3 : We’re trying to stay ahead of the curve on the upcoming release of Firefox3. We’re aggressively addressing issues as we find them. We encourage Firefox 3 users to let us know if they see bugs in Bungee Connect or deployed applications that only represent themselves in Firefox 3
• Solution Notes : If you have added notes to your Solution at the Solution level, then those notes will automatically open each time you open that Solution. If there are no notes, it won’t open. It’s a great place to give yourself a mini to-do list for the next time you come back to a solution
• Event Management: We’ve improved the switchboard so that events are no longer dependent on a Cord structure. There’s no documentation for this feature yet. If you have specific questions about how to take advantage of this advanced feature please post them in the Forums or on IRC.
• Box Container control: There’s a new container control in the form building toolbox called Box – for advanced vertical and horizontal form layout capabilities. Documentation for this new control will be available soon. Check back at this post for a link.

• Statement complete now honors "First Focus" option
• Single Line Label Defaults to "No Wrap"
• Numeric formatting for labels added
• Deleting un-checked in solutions from repository dialog wording fixed
• Font style sheet bound to a project now applies to labels within the project
• Dynamic Form now binds to Data type
• Popup style is now set on dialog properties rather than invoking control
• MCLB now toggles sort order when using a SortFunctionInterface
• Fishbowl stays on top better in Safari
• Internal margin support for Horizontal and Vertical boxes
• Map API key is now part of the connection
• Rich text edit honors button hide/show selections

[edit] Known Issues

• Buttons "OK":  After the conversion some buttons on your forms may have their default action changed to "OK".  You'll see this when you click your button and your form closes (or tries to close) after firing the function they're bound to.  To fix this, simply change the "action type" of the button in the "Behavior" properties area to "no action" and you're all set.
• Coming change! In the interest of calling out a coming change. In a future roll out, we will be requiring that ll forms have a form interface. In the past the system would, in some scenarios, simply choose a form by default even if the form didn't’t have an interface explicitly set. That will no longer be the case. Go through your deployments and applications in progress and be sure that all your forms have an associated interface! If you have any questions about this change please post to a reply in the forum and I’ll answer for all.
• Transparent popups: We’ve changed the way that transparency is supported in overlay popup dialogs. This will most likely have a minimal impact, but you may see popup dialogs appearing transparent where they didn't’t before. If so please report those issues to us in the Forums or in IRC.
