Spooky data table collapse at a distance in Hexawise Automate

When you have more than 1 scenario outline, and you collapse one and work on the other, and then you add a var < to the other so that it renders the example table, it un-collapsed the one that you weren't working on. No longer does.

IMPROVED
Collapse of expanded data-table during Hexawise Automate script save

This could be disorienting. It no longer does this.

Generate Gherkin Scenarios for every test case

In addition to the Gherkin Examples data-table driven Scenario Outline sections, Hexawise Automate will now generate a Scenario outline for every test case in the exported feature file whenever any step in the Scenario references the test cases with either the parameter syntax:

<Parameter name>

or the parameter value syntax:

{[Parameter name]Parameter value}
IMPROVED
Export mind map images

Like the McRib sandwich, it's back!

Unlike the McRib, downloadable mind map images are greatly improved from before with support for plans that are larger than 25 parameters, and the option to download a bitmap (PNG) or vector-based (SVG) file.

FIXED
Specific editing the name of parameter value involved in a uni/bi-directional married pair could cause issues

This pairwise defect only occurred when editing the parameter value's name directly by clicking on it on the Constraints screen. Editing the parameter values or bulk editing all the parameters didn't trigger the issue.

June 19, 2018
FIXED
Manage plans dialog regression

Bolding of the current plan's name in the Your Test Plans dialog was missing, and the redirect out of the plan when deleting the currently active plan was also broken.
