Introduction

This release delivers version 24.7.1 of the AskUI Suite, which includes debug rendering features, support for local proxies and non-admin Windows Installation.


New Features

  • Debug rendering for internal use.
    • Animated mouse movement vectors.
    • Scrollable text view of executed controller actions (and their parameters; not ADK steps).
    • Step index and icon of executed action on the screen (non-mouse actions are placed at the current mouse position).
  • Support for local proxies.
  • Non-admin Windows installation.

Changes

  • The AskUI Controller logs into ~/.askui/Logs/AskUI Controller directory.
  • The execOnShell ADK function supports specifying a timeout.
  • Status indicator rendering is on by default now.

Fixes

  • AskUI-NewProject commandlet does not copy user settings to project settings anymore.

Improvements

  • Overlay rendering should require less resources (CPU/GPU).
