5.9 Release Notes

Release Information

The Appspace Core 5.9 build is a planned update that focused on platform optimization, enhancements, and bug fixes. Released on February 27th, 2016, this build is for Appspace Cloud.


What’s new in Appspace 5.9

Improvements to the Networks extension user interface

The Network extension receives an updated UI, in which the Player tab is now the first tab, followed by SmartHub ASE, and Networks. This brings users two-clicks closer to accessing the list of registered player devices.

Other changes include:

  • Streamlining Signs terminology, by renaming Applications to Channels.
  • The Sync and Status columns are simplified, thus entries appear as a single line.
  • The Player Groups panel UI is updated to display the total number of players belonging to a group.
  • The Player Information pop-up screen appears as an overlay with UI improvements.

Please refer to the Networks Layout and Interface article for more information.


Improvements to the Signs extension user interface

The Sign extension receives an updated UI, improving navigation by switching to a breadcrumb navigation style. With the breadcrumb navigation style, all Signs sub tabs now appear as hyperlinks.


Please refer to the Signs Layout and Interface article for more information.
