Oh thank you soooooo much for this release! The ability to apply a custom control ID and other custom values is an awesome addition for those of us working with or on third party tools. I’m so happy – this is going to make it so much easier for me to automate some of the stuff I’ve been doing manually up to now.

Ah, noticed one more thing. I can’t seem to put a link inside parenthesis. E.g. “([linked text])” is rendered just like that, vs. “(linked text)” where “linked text” looks like a hyperlink. Is this a related nesting issue?

[Good catch. Fixed, new build is in the oven and will be available here http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/desktop/next in a few minutes. I'll merge it in 1.6 next week. Thanks!]

Great! Now if only you could build a module to do my work for me…

I don’t seem to be able to nest text modifiers anymore. I.e. “_*widget*_” ends up being an italicized version of “*widget*”, instead of a bold-italic version of “widget”.

[Crap RG, I totally broke that with this change, how could I not think of that! I'll fix it ASAP, stay tuned]

[Update: this is now fixed, the new build is already up]

Looking forward to watching the video Peldi.

What I want to know is… how does your small team do so much? Awesome stuff!

[Thanks so much for that comment Adam, I'm glad it looks that way from your end. Sometimes I wish we went faster, we have so many cool things we want to do! But no-one's running after us, which is nice. As long as we go at a good pace and maintain a healthy work-life balance, I'm happy. Thanks again for the comment, I appreciate it!]
