Code on Time release 8.6.11.0 introduces the Tab Bar, the new cool feature that automatically enhances your app if you define custom icons for some of the pages.

Notifications now work in concert with fixed footers and action promotion button but lifting them when notification is displayed.

Fixed footers typically display Tab Bar, form action bar, aggregates, and “Promo” button.

If you enter th following configuration in ~/touch-settings.json file, then notifications will become transparent and display on the left side of the screen when there are no fixed footer.

{
  "ui": {
    "notify": {
      "location": "left",
      "transparent": true,
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Account Manager displays the current user icon in “selected” state. If the other identities available are expired, then they get displayed with the “Signed Out” indicator.

One important feature is now available to developers of business rules. By default, any custom action will reduce the selected items to the last one selected at the time when the action was invoked.

It may be desirable to preserve the entire selection of items or have the selection completely cleared.

Now developers can @Result_KeepSelection and @Result_ClearSelection parameters. Simply assign value 1 to the parameter if you program SQL business rules. C#/VB developers can assign true to Result.KeepSelection and Result.ClearSelection properties.

The following features and fixes are included in the release:

• Notifications can be transparent if ui.notify.transparent = true is specified in touch-settings.json.
