AppStudio 9.1.0 released!

We’re pleased to announce that 9.1.0 has been released.

We’ve made an important change to the Design Screen. We had been using IE11 to drive it: we are now using the latest version of Edge. This required rewriting a lot of code in our Design Screen module – but has the benefit that it now uses the latest developments in HTML and JavaScript.

This benefits frameworks like Bootstrap 5, which are no longer compatible with IE 11.

Here’s the complete list of changes:

1. AppStudio: Icon in top left corner now appears properly.
2. AppStudio: Save As now copies all the files in the project directory.
3. BS4, BS5: added *disabled* property to several controls
4. BS4, BS5: added *name* property to several controls.
5. BS4, BS5: Label: added blank *appearance* property for no styling
6. BS5: Dropdown: added *index* property.
7. BS5: Input-group: *button* has been added as an itemType: Buttons can be part of a group.
8. Design Screen: Now uses Edge instead of IE to render. Should fix some BS5 issues.
9. Docs: Add AI to your app using ChatGPT
10. Docs: Using SQLite updated for SQLite WASM
11. Docs: Wiki for ForEach updated.
12. Docs: Offline wiki updated.
13. Libraries: wxPython updated to 4.2.2
14. Native: don’t initialize SQLite WASM if Cordova plugin is being used.
15. Samples: ElectronWeather now shows how to do a custom icon in Electron.
16. Samples: New ChatGPT sample
17. Update Screen: Links to proper place in Wiki.
