------------------------

Changes :
=========
1. Added multiple tab support.
* Right-click on a web method -> Open in new tab
2. Added Test case Editor
* Right-click on a test case -> Run/Edit
* Test input and expected response are editable.
* The actual response can be "Promoted" into the Expected response.
3. Moved UI config out of the config file into Configuration Main menu
* COnfiguration is now divided into 2 tabs, Service and User Interface
.
For the moment, the User Interface tab contains 2 fields
a. Color raw soap -> Toogle to enable/disable syntax highlighting
of
the soap message in "Raw view". This is checked by default but
if you're working
with very large soap messages, uncheck this
b. Show Detailed exception -> Toggle to enable/disable very detail
ed log exception
entries
4. Added saving of UI settings are when the app is closed. File is Storm.se
ttings
5. Added generation of default soap messages. Web methods can now be invoke
d from
"Raw view" without having to invoke the web method 1st via Tree View
6. Added saving of "Expected response"
7. Added execution of test cases and automatic comparison of the actual and
expected response.
The 2 responsed are shown side-by-side and the differences highlighted.
8. Added real-time syntax highlighting for raw soap messages.
9. Added notification windows (fades in and out). (shown at the lower-right
corner of the tool).
10. Added clearing of the logging window.
11. Code changes brought about by the F# Sept 08 CTP release. (you'll now ne
ed VS 2008 to open the F# projects).
12. Cleaner splash screen.
13. Others..
14. Added paypal "Donate" button (Click on the ABOUT menu button). The dona
te link has been in the codeplex site
for a long time and Storm has been downloaded 3000+ times and yet there
has been ZERO donations so far. I wrote STORM out of genuine desire to
help out my fellow
developers but it was naive of me to assume i'd get something back.Anywa
y I hope someone
out there will donate so that I can at least upgrade my 1G RAM Vista lap
top.
Fixes :
========
1. fix for Issue 1464 : WCF Services with basicHttpBinding now supported
2. fix for issue 2180 : ADDED NTLM and Proxy authentication to web service c
alls. The values needed for these

are all configurable from the Configurations menu or from the COnfigura
tion section (Lower right portion)
3. fix for issue 2042 : Nullable fields now works as expected. In addition,
objects set to null (in Tree View) are
no longer sent with default values.
