This shortcut didn't work in the initial implementation.

Comma escaping in bulk add and edit

If you need to use commas in your values, they can now be escaped with the \ character. Such as:

Gives you 3 values for the food parameter:
chicken
steak
shrimp, lobster and scallops

FIXED
Display issue related to the left side panel

When the left hand side bar was in a collapsed state, clicking on parts of the display panel other than the "expand" button could sometimes lead to undesirable display results.

Thank you, Chandan, for bringing the issue to our attention.

FIXED
Spurious scrollbars in the parameter length warning dialog in Internet Explorer

These are now gone.

NEW
Bulk Edit

Hot on the heels of our popular new "bulk add" feature comes "bulk edit". If you have a bunch of parameters to edit in your plan, there is now a faster "bulk edit" option. Click the "bulk edit" link and then edit your parameters and values with the name, a colon and then a comma separated list of values with a new line for each parameter:

parameter name1: value 1, value 2, ...
parameter name2: value 1, value 2, ...

Enjoy the faster speed when you have a lot of data to edit!

(We're noodling on what to do about values that have commas for "bulk add" and "bulk edit". If you have any suggestions, let us know.)

NEW
IE 6 Support with Google Frame

If you insist on using IE 6 (and according to the most recent metrics from the people that track that kind of thing, about 8% of web users do) we now have an answer for you that allows you to use Hexawise. You can install the Google Chrome Frame plugin (doesn't require admin permissions on your computer) in IE 6 and use Hexawise. Enjoy!

FIXED

IMPROVED
Spinner shown when editing a plan

This operation can take a few seconds and there was no feedback before that it was working.

IMPROVED
Prior password (not just a login) required to update your current password

More secure approach.

FIXED
UI glitches in bulk update in IE browser

These didn't prevent proper functioning, but were a bit of an eye sore.

FIXED
The losing your parameter edits dialog didn't show after the first successful parameter add

Now it shows anytime you could lose your parameter edits.
