8.11.0 Bixby Developer Studio Release Notes

Updated: June 1, 2021

Welcome to v8.11.0, the 21H release of Bixby Developer Studio. This release adds the Component Gallery feature, improved Training V2, and a number of enhancements.

8.11.0 Features

Component Gallery

We are introducing the Component Gallery feature, where you can pick a customized Views component and insert it into a view, layout, or macro file.

You can find the Insert from Component Gallery menu item from the autocompletion menu (ctrl + space) in the editor. This option appears only when the cursor is at a position where a Bixby Views component can be inserted.

After you customize a Views component, click the + Insert button on the bottom right to insert the code snippet in the view file.

Improved Training V2

We've made these improvements to Training V2:

• Simplified the training summary view
• Improved navigation
• Enabled adding a training example draft

We brought back the NL editor from Training V1 while keeping the Aligned NL editor from Training V2.

You can have one training draft. While editing a new training entry, click back to save a draft of the training. Once back in the list view, click on the Back to draft button to continue editing the draft. Click Cancel while editing the training entry to discard the draft.

8.10.0 Bixby Developer Studio Release Notes

Updated: Apr 26, 2021

Welcome to v8.10.0, the 21F release of Bixby Developer Studio. This release adds improved autocompletion and documentation discovery features to our editor, as well as easy access to our library of sample capsules, and a number of bug fixes.

8.10.0 Features

Go-To-Definition for Macro Keys

We've added the ability to more easily find the definitions of layout and template macros.

When you view a template-macro in the editor, you can see the name of the macro shown as a link.

Clicking on the link leads to the definition specified in its template-macro-def:

Similarly, you can find that macro and layout-macro lead to macro-def and layout-macro-def, respectively.

Display Key Documentation during Autocomplete

When you hover over a key in the code editor, you can see part of the reference documentation for that key, and a link to see the full documentation in a web browser.

Download and Open Sample Capsules

You can see a list of all sample capsules in our documentation, as well as additional sample capsules available on the Bixby Developers GitHub within Bixby Studio by choosing the new "Create Capsule from Sample" option in any of the menus or other places where you can create a capsule. Choose a sample capsule from the list, and it gets downloaded into a local folder and opened as a new capsule. This makes it easy to start a new capsule by copying from an existing example.
