•Corrected a problem of removing icon images from various controls if deleted in properties.
•More consistent updating of meter values
•Corrected errors in the HMI Example
Version 1.000 - March 31, 2024
•Added the HMI Simulator Code to the Arduino Files!
•Released as Version 1.000. There will always be things to correct/modify/add but we feel the software is stable enough to release as non-beta.
•Upcoming Immediate Plans:
•Continue to seek out and fix remaining bugs.
•Revise the Selection Interface for faster loading and sleeker look.
•Adding more graphical functionality to canvas controls.
•Add pop-up menus to controls for easier development and use.
Version 0.99970 - March 30, 2024
•Corrected a bug where control placed on child interface was not showing in editor on creation.
•Added "Resize Interface on Load" to main Interface - See Interfaces Menu
•Saves Interface Controls Silence and Resize settings to MPJ Settings to save for next app run.
•Corrected the progressBar to accept floats, will round to an integer (plus spinners and sliders).
•Added vert and horiz properties to progressBar instead of relying on aspect only.
•Correct a problem with digital plots returning the wrong mouseY position
•Reordered the zOrder so that newer controls have the lowest Zorder (on top).
•Revised the save interface routine to used the Interface/zOrder List in the interface editor
•Add a <timer> event to canvas controls, timerInterval property sets the time of events down to 10 (10mS). 0 Turns off the event trigger.
•Added standard and other HMI Symbols to the media library - Thanks to Open Architecture Software (OAS) for the use of these symbols
•Added 3 new Interfaces including HMI Example.
•Added Arduino code example to simulate system conditions for the HMI Example
Version 0.99936 - March 16, 2024
•Fixed a bug created last update which prevents textboxes from using the update value.
•Added hideMenus property for Child Interfaces. Note: F3 for the Interface Editor window and other F-keys only respond on the background, not specific controls on the Child Interface.
Version 0.99935 - March 14, 2024
•Corrected an issue where some control with update values, such textboxes, were not changing the intended properties due to asynchronous nature of updates/changes.
•Added hideOnLoad property to hide child interfaces once the interface loads. It is off by default.
•Greatly reduced CPU Cycle use when updating meters and other controls.
•Hopefully fixed the issue of not being able to register unless being run under admin account.
Version 0.99930 - March 3, 2024
•Added the Data Modifier (See Data Menu) to quickly and globally scale incoming analog data and parse data from incoming message strings.
•NOTE: A User has reported the registration feature would not work until they ran the software as the Administrator. This may effect saving data as well, Investigating a fix.

•Saving the interface will now save its state (normal or maximized) and the position & size of the main interface.
•zOrder works on Child Interfaces now. See Setting Control Order.
•The Interface Editor now lists objects by interface and by zOrder on the interface. Interface saves are structured in the same manner.
•The zOrder of plots may now be set.
•Using a textbox on top of a plot requires the mouse pointer to stay over the text control when changing values in it or the plot will grab focus.
Version 0.99920 - January 27, 2024
This update is based on recommendations by users, mainly on the forum.
•Added a major and minor grid width properties to the analog plot and to the plot settings window.
•When text-style controls are non-editable, disabled turning it yellow on changes.
•Hiding the Analog Legend checkboxes when the legend is turned off (showChLegend).
•MPJ will NOT ask if you wish to exit when closing unless the user has opened the Controls Palette (F2), the Interface Editor Window (F3) or entered Edit Mode (F9).
•Began work on setting the order of control (which is on top). All controls except for plots may have the zOrder set and whether to refresh (zRepaint) when the analog plot refreshes. Please see Setting Control Order.

•A user recently reported black plots, meters not showing properly, etc.
We've corrected the software to use US/English regional settings. Our apologies to any non-US number formatted users!!! But also please be sure to use the format of 1.234 and not 1,234 for decimal places where number input is needed.
Version 0.99900 - January 19, 2024
•Revised the digital plots operation (mouse drags, etc) to match the analog plots.
•Corrected a bug where plotting with plotName.plotChan within an !if had incorrect timing. Still need to correct in digital plots.
