| Dynamic Screen Resolution |
Description: Layers now leverage a unified layout architecture supporting scalable content rendering. This uses relative sizing, proportional scaling, and anchor-based positioning. |
Use Cases: Ideal for product lines with varying screen sizes (e.g., smart appliances or vehicle clusters). Value: Enables a true "design-once, deploy-anywhere" workflow, drastically reducing time spent on device-specific layout adjustments. |
| Nested Scenes and Controls |
Description: Eliminates the constraint on control nesting from prior versions, enabling developers to apply specific styles and behaviors at a granular, single-control level within the hierarchy. |
Use Cases: Perfect for building complex, modular UI layouts. Value: Lowers layout complexity and reduces rework, ensuring designs are flexible and easily maintainable when making late-stage changes. |
| Lua Scripting Optimisation |
Description: Introduces direct action triggering and variable listeners, allowing the UI to automatically react to data changes without constant polling or bulky event queues. |
Use Cases: Essential for data-driven interfaces like medical monitors or industrial control panels. Value: UI logic runs leaner and faster, delivering immediate responsiveness and maximizing performance on resource-limited hardware. |
| Enhanced Figma Workflow |
Description: Features improved asset import, where stroke layers are rendered as highly efficient fill extensions, and interactive Figma frames import directly as functional screens with transitions. |
Use Cases: Bridges the gap between designer prototypes and final embedded assets. Value: Guarantees that the designer’s vision is preserved exactly, removing the need for manual reworks and accelerating the iteration and debugging loop. |
| Component Library Suite |
Description: A new package of widget-style, ready-to-deploy components is included, such as Checkbox, Slider, Dropdown, and Button components. |
Use Cases: Rapidly assembling standard UI elements for any embedded product. Value: Components are customizable and reusable; updates made to a single component instance propagate across the entire UI, simplifying maintenance and speeding up application assembly. |
| Reliable Testing Features |
Description: A new Validator test action is introduced, which forces test execution to pause and wait for specific screen transitions or rendering to complete before proceeding. |
Use Cases: High-volume automated quality assurance for multi-screen workflows. Value: Guarantees reliable automated testing by synchronising actions with actual screen state, eliminating the risk of race conditions and flaky test results. |
