Beta 6 Playgrounds #swiftlang

Playgrounds introduced some significant changes with Beta 6. Most importantly, the timeline slider appears to have disappeared.

Update: Norio Nomura found it:

The Quick Look system is redesigned for both the value history and the results gutter. Instead of the old-style [=,~,o] buttons in the embedded value history, you now either see just a single value, a graph or a list:

Update: Kelly G writes in the comments, “Also if you Control-Click on the inline results of a loop, you can toggle between Latest Value, Value History, Graph.”

You can no longer close value summaries in the main timeline. Click the filled circles in the gutter instead.

The Beta 6 version of the Playgrounds Book is updated and available now in iTunes. I’m pushing another update with a few more errata today that should hit the store tomorrow or the next day, and I’ll continue updating as I find new features.
