Even higher performance TAT's UI Framework is known for its high performance across different platforms and operating systems. Now the performance has been further improved, resulting in increased frame rate and responsiveness, noticeable in common use cases like flick scrolling a list and screen transitions. The 3D capabilities are also improved, with a noticeable difference in rendering quality and frame rate, both using software and GPU based rendering.

Fast device customization The significance of fast customizations to improve your time-to-market is of critical importance to manufacturers today. In the new release we have therefore extended the possibility to implement the UI flow declaratively in XML, meaning that you can build and customize your UI Flows without the need for coding and compiling C-code, and in effect tailor your devices for different regions, segments or customers in record time.

Rapid prototyping with LUA TAT Cascades now supports LUA script bindings. Instead of being dependent on a software engineer writing C code behind, the UI developer can now create complex user interfaces just using a combination of XML, XML-operations, and LUA script. As a result, UI developers get a much more efficient prototyping environment.

OpenVG™ TAT Cascades now supports OpenVG acceleration as a complement to software or OpenGL ES based rendering. OpenVG is a standardized cross-platform API that provides a low-level hardware acceleration interface for vector graphics libraries such as Flash and SVG, targeted primarily at handheld devices that require compelling user interfaces and text - while enabling hardware acceleration to provide fluidly interactive performance at very low power levels.

Project efficiency The ability to run large phone projects is of great importance for overall development efficiency. To help guide developers through the complex structures the UI the new version of TAT Motion Lab includes a project overview that shows a hierarchical view of all UI components. The properties editor has a new intuitive interface and great enhancements have been made to the XML verification capabilities. Developers can also turn on profiling to measure different parameters of the UI like frame rendering time and memory allocations to efficiently optimize the performance.
