    3.13.0

    Animated gradient background, support for running extensions in the background and Infotaulu Queue Number extension.

    Presentation view and editors

    • The gradient background can be shown animated with the press of a button. The animation fades through the different shades of the selected gradient at the desired speed.
    • Added keyboard shortcuts for undo/redo functions in the slide editor.
    • Optimization of the color palette generation function. Generating a color palette from any image is now much faster than before.
    • YouTube background works again in all editors.
    • Improved the functionality of the editors.

    Content Editor

    • Improved handling of multiple animations in the timeline. Selected animations can now be moved from any point.

    Infotaulu settings

    • Updated the contents of the instructions.
    • Fixed an issue with the background color of the logo settings buttons.

    Extensions

    • Added the ability to run extensions in the background instead of the content editor’s block. This can be used in extensions that are intended to be on every slide.
    • The Infotaulu Queue Number extension, which utilizes the new feature, has been added as a new included extension.
    • Through the Infotaulu API, extensions can now check whether the extension is running in the presentation view, which allows the extension to perform different types of actions, for example in the content editor.
    • Added the ability to choose whether to display a snowfall or a rain effect to the Infotaulu Snow fall effect extension.
    • Extensions can now be backed up using the Infotaulu Backup tool.

    Infotaulu Queue Number extension

    • Shows the queue number during a slideshow and plays a sound effect.
    • The size of the numbers, the first number, the style and the use of the sound effect can all be configured directly in the “Extensions” tab of the Infotaulu settings.
    • The extension can be controlled by external events, which allows the use and construction of different interfaces for the extension.
    • Events can be used to change the queue number, show the current number or reset the number back to the first number specified in the setting.

    Other changes

    • Improved the selection of the color setting for extensions in JsonEditor (the graphical editor for extensions in the content editor).
    • Changed all extensions to use Json-format settings.
    • Improvements to the internal structure of the Infotaulu.
    • Fixed an issue with the Cover block that caused the block to not display at full size.
