-Sliding Drawers+==== Sliding Drawers ====
  
 You can now easily create professional looking apps by adding drag out menus and slide out panels with only a few lines of code.  We've added a sample to demonstrate this called 'Drawer Menu'.  There is also a new template available in the Wifi editor for creating this type of app. When combined with the FAB buttons in the UIExtras plugin you can easily create apps with the look and feel of Google Hangouts or Gmail. You can now easily create professional looking apps by adding drag out menus and slide out panels with only a few lines of code.  We've added a sample to demonstrate this called 'Drawer Menu'.  There is also a new template available in the Wifi editor for creating this type of app. When combined with the FAB buttons in the UIExtras plugin you can easily create apps with the look and feel of Google Hangouts or Gmail.
  
-Asset chooser+==== Asset chooser ====
  
 Although we recommend using the WiFi editor for 'serious' development with DroidScript, for those of you that don't have access to a Laptop or PC, we have now added an asset manager to the on-device editor, so you can more easily add pictures, videos and music files to your apps. Although we recommend using the WiFi editor for 'serious' development with DroidScript, for those of you that don't have access to a Laptop or PC, we have now added an asset manager to the on-device editor, so you can more easily add pictures, videos and music files to your apps.
  
-Downloadable Demos+==== Downloadable Demos ====
  
 Checkout the new 'Demos' menu in the app.  This allows those without the WiFi editor to get at the downloadable demo SPKs which is a growing list of showcase apps that really demonstrate the power and capabilities of DroidScript. If you want to see your name up there and show off to your friends or future employers, then write a really cool demo and submit it to us for inclusion.  Check out the recent submission from AlexF called 'Tankerous' (there's more to come from this talented young coder too:) Checkout the new 'Demos' menu in the app.  This allows those without the WiFi editor to get at the downloadable demo SPKs which is a growing list of showcase apps that really demonstrate the power and capabilities of DroidScript.
