- It were possible to attach a [TextNode2DLayouter](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/class_candera_1_1_text_node2_d_layouter.html "Base Layouter for TextNode2D nodes.") to [TextNode2D](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/class_candera_1_1_text_node2_d.html "TextNode2D is a RenderNode that renders text using the attached BitmapBrush effect.") and not using the layouter. This led to undesired visual output but text were visible. Now in this case the layouter has to be used otherwise no (or old) text will be shown.
- In some corner cases (e.g. mixed bidirectional text) the truncation with ellipsis can truncate the text in a wrong manner. This will be part of the next TextEngine update.
- Fixed some incorrect layout issues.
- Some of these layout issues affect all text types which are using TextEngine (not only [TextNode2D](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/class_candera_1_1_text_node2_d.html "TextNode2D is a RenderNode that renders text using the attached BitmapBrush effect.")).
- A multiline text with a truncated line did not show all the lines after the truncated line anymore. This has been fixed.

- Release Date: February 2017
- Open
- Remove from here
This option is available just for the category of "Recent" solutions (Mantis 7903).
- SceneComposer will invoke AsyncProvider().DispatchNext() before rendering a frame. Note: rendering a frame means rendering on Scene Editor and on all displays.
---
- **Available Buttons:** Commit/Revert changes buttons from SCML editor panel are not enabled until a modification takes place (Mantis 7048).
- **Solution Name:** When saving a new template, the solution proposed name will be the name of the template solution (Mantis 7755).
- **Saving Layout:** The SC layout is now saved per solution and user. When a solution with an opened active displays is re-opened, the displays are docked in the same places as before the previous closing of the solution (Mantis 7293 & 7373).
- **Invisible Panel:** The "Appearance Editor" panel is not visible anymore by default in "Animation Design" perspective. From this perspective the user has access only to those templates from the "Solution Explorer" panel (Mantis 7947).
- **Remember Path:** The path selected in the "Browse for Folder" dialog opened from "Automatic Imports Configuration" will be remembered (Mantis 6880).
- **Folder Path:** The default folder path for a new solution wizard is remembered regardless of choosing to create a solution folder (Mantis 4380).
- **Reserved Characters:** Reserved characters like #, &, $ are not allowed in the "Default Value" field, from "Parameters" tab of a script configuration (in "Automation Script Configuration" dialog) (Mantis 6870).
- **Clone Option:** The "Clone" context menu option has been made available in "Automation Scripts Configuration" dialog (Mantis 6868).
- **Animation Groups Info:** Since this version on FTCCmd Info command will also display info about the animation groups (Mantis 7050).
- **Improved Tooltip:** The tooltip of "Number of visible recently opened solutions" was improved (Mantis 7920).
- **SCHost Information:** The SCHost information has not been adapted to recent changes in CMake configuration (Mantis 7958).
- **Syntax Highlighting:** In the Shader Editor syntax highlighting was added for GLSL 3.0.x and 3.1.x keywords (Mantis 6479).
- **Fast Forward Improvements:** If a value is typed and Enter key pressed, even when click anywhere else inside application, the value cannot be changed with mouse drag right/left. Only if play animation will be pressed it would be possible to do this action. If an unvalid value is typed in the field, as long as the animation plays, the "Fast forward" button remains deactivated (Mantis 5263).
- **Mandatory Perspectives:** None of the three basic perspectives - "Startup", "Scene Design" and "Animation design" - can be deleted without leaving at least one perspective of the same type. Consequently, the three basic perspectives previously mentioned cannot be deleted (Mantis 7974).
- **Opacity Improvement:** Maximum value of the opacity slider in the Color Picker was moved to the right (Mantis 7977).
- **New Renderer:** In addition to the already existing TextNode2D Renderers - Bitmap, Surface, Glyph, GlyphCache - a new Renderer was added. Its name is "GlyphAtlas" (Mantis 8039).
- **New Text Node Property:** TextNode2D has a new property: Enable Async Pre-Render. This property is used by [Candera](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/namespace_candera.html "[DataBinding_RefTypeSample]") to make pre-render processings of text (Mantis 8040).
- **Extended Player:** Player functionality was extended to provide the possibility to visualize and edit control properties. Control properties can be visualized and edited in the same manner as widget properties (Mantis 8218).
- GhlyphAtlas text renderer is not effectively used when rendering. Instead, GlyphCache is used. However, the value is serialized and used by AssetLoader and applications (Mantis 8422).
- If a previously created solution is imported by using the "Import from Solution" option, errors will result if the ID's assigned to objects from the imported solution is the same with the objects' ID from the current solution (Mantis 8300).
- On platforms with 2D over 3D, when the content is shared among several displays, the Player encounters problems displaying the entire content of the loaded asset (Mantis 8427).
