IMPROVED
Paramaters with no values

Parameters added or edited (singly or in bulk or in import) with no defined values are now provided a single value of "none". Before the handling was inconsistent, but consisted mostly of doing nothing until the problem was corrected.

FIXED

Fixed a JavaScript error in the project members dialog for members that are not project administrators

FIXED
Export Dialog

Changing selection of Excel would reset the OPML selection. This is fixed.

IMPROVED
How-To Progress Checklists

Better highlighting of the option to switch between the Basic and Advanced How-To Progress checklist. Better rules about who is shown the checklists and when. Fixed a typo in the checklist.

FIXED
Logout of newly registered users

In some cases, the first action of a newly registered user, after validating their email, would result in the user being logged out and having to login again. This is now resolved.

IMPROVED
Value pair deletion warning dialog

Now shows a spinner while the deletion is occurring.

NEW
Added a check that disallows a new married pair that would conflict with an existing married pair

Thanks to Kai for pointing out this omission.

IMPROVED
Text area for typing parameter values

The text area for typing in parameter values is now variably sized to take advantage of wider screens with more available horizontal space.

IMPROVED
Ctl + Enter saves in Bulk add and edit

This shortcut didn't work in the initial implementation.

IMPROVED
Comma escaping in bulk add and edit

If you need to use commas in your values, they can now be escaped with the \ character. Such as:

food: chicken, steak, shrimp\, lobster and scallops

Gives you 3 values for the food parameter:
chicken
steak
shrimp, lobster and scallops

FIXED
Leading spaces in bulk edit are no longer used in the value
IMPROVED
Spaces used to make bulk edit more readable

It is now shown as:

Browser: IE, Chrome

rather than:

Browser:IE,Chrome

IMPROVED
Spinner shown when Ctl-Enter key shortcut is used in bulk add and edit
IMPROVED
Losing parameter changes warning

Losing parameter changes warning is now worded properly for bulk edit changes.

FIXED
Spurious save your changes warnings when using bulk edit

These spurious warnings are no longer shown.

FIXED

Clicking the collapsed left panel now does nothing.

FIXED
Display issue related to the left side panel

When the left hand side bar was in a collapsed state, clicking on parts of the display panel other than the "expand" button could sometimes lead to undesirable display results.

Thank you, Chandan, for bringing the issue to our attention.

FIXED
Spurious scrollbars in the parameter length warning dialog in Internet Explorer

These are now gone.

NEW
Bulk Edit

Hot on the heels of our popular new "bulk add" feature comes "bulk edit". If you have a bunch of parameters to edit in your plan, there is now a faster "bulk edit" option. Click the "bulk edit" link and then edit your parameters and values with the name, a colon and then a comma separated list of values with a new line for each parameter:

parameter name1: value 1, value 2, ...
parameter name2: value 1, value 2, ...

Enjoy the faster speed when you have a lot of data to edit!

(We're noodling on what to do about values that have commas for "bulk add" and "bulk edit". If you have any suggestions, let us know.)

NEW
IE 6 Support with Google Frame

If you insist on using IE 6 (and according to the most recent metrics from the people that track that kind of thing, about 8% of web users do) we now have an answer for you that allows you to use Hexawise. You can install the Google Chrome Frame plugin (doesn't require admin permissions on your computer) in IE 6 and use Hexawise. Enjoy!

FIXED
Potential for AutoScript pane to hang with spinner in rare cases

Thanks to Cecilia for reporting this issue.

This operation can take a few seconds and there was no feedback before that it was working.
