XDK May 12, 2015 Release Announcement

[John_H_Intel2]

Note: Our automatic updater will notify existing Intel XDK users when the update is available within the Intel XDK. The updates will be released to all users within 24 hours. If you would like the update sooner, download it from intel.xdk.com.
 

New Features:

Projects Tab Updates:

• The option to send email has been removed for security reasons. If you want other users to test your app, send them the build completion email from the Build tab after a build completes.

Develop Tab Updates:

• Live Layout Editing (aka live preview) in Google Chrome* or Mozillia Firefox* browsers is allowed for Standard HTML5 project types, but is not allowed for HTML5+Cordova project types. This change allows the Intel XDK to improve browser Live Layout Editing support for Standard HTML5 app projects.
• Updated the built-in Brackets* editor to version 1.2.

Profile Tab Updates:

• A resource monitoring feature has been added. View details of the update on the Profile Tab documentation page.

Build Tab Updates:

• Added a Cancel button to the build dialog that appears after you choose a build target.

Issues Addressed:

• Once again, a major focus of this release was to address issues raised by our users via the forums or support emails. We also continued to address issues that increase the stability of the Intel XDK.

Why do you remove the "live preview"? The emulator does not draw the UI correctly

Hello !, a question:
When will support for xxhdpi and hhhhdpi icons?

Greetings!

I am sorry if this is the wrong place.

I am running intel xdk v1912 with no problems at all, the problem is with the update everytime I click update the icon shows download in progress when finished i get the message download failed. I've tried it more than 5 times any solutions.

It is not an answer on your question, but you can run your app on the devices using Develop tab (Run My App on the right sidebar->Run on USB connected devices) or through Debug/Profile tabs using "Launch App on Device" buttons. It will guarantee you will see exactly the UI that would be finally on the devices.

If you are having issues with the updater, you can manually download/install the update.

@Miguel -- the "live preview" feature is still there, it only appears for non Cordova apps. See this post for more details > https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/558106#comment-1825327
