Change Release Notes
In this release, we introduce a collection of enhancements to existing controls and small bug fixes. I really like this release - the enhancements are very subtle and although you may not notice, you'll find the GUI becoming more comfortable and productive to work in.
Key Control changes color based on focus. The control needs to be in focus for the Keyboard Control to work
Added Speech Volume to Speech Settings
New EZ-Script function: SpeakVolume()
Intro has smoother fade transition
New EZ-Script function: FileReadLineRandom()
New EZ-Script variable $Direction which stores current movement direction
New EZ-Script function: WaitForChange() which will pause the script until the specified variable/value has changed
EZ-Script function: Move() has a fix when specifying Stop as a direction
MP3 Trigger now displays 255 buttons and is resizable with scrollbar
All ARC Controls have smarter resizing for different DPI displays
Added "Virtual servo Ports", which range from V0 to V19. These can be used as "stubs" for extending the flexibility of existing ARC Controls. For example, look at the example "Example - Script - Joystick Switch Between Servos"
Audio Display Graphs have smooth rounded edges
Speech Recognition Audio Graph changes color depending on Pause status (red/green)
AutoPosition Control (without movement) has bug fix for ControlCommand()
File Read Random Example This project can be found in Examples, titled: Example - Script - File Operations
Virtual servo Example This project can be found under Examples, titled: Example - Script - Joystick Switch Between Servos
Pretty Rounded Corners in Audio Graphs
New MP3 Trigger Control
Very Elegant Speech Recognition Control

Thank you DJ for your continued , dedicated hardwork. You may call these updates subtle, but I call them subtleys...(The English term was derived from an older meaning of the word "subtle" with the meaning "clever" or "surprising) and good to eat!....now I am off to sample them
"- MP3 Trigger now displays 255 buttons and is resizable with scrollbar"
Score!
Sweet. Now my MP3 Trigger window won't take up half my screen. Love the other enhancements also. EZB is getting more elegant. Bill Gates would be envious. Once more', Thanks EZB team!
