v1.1.9

New Features:

1. NEW: When editing an object/parameter, the focus is automatically set on the "Value" field of the property grid. This means that when the object editor pops-up, you can immediately start typing in the value you'd like the object to have. Previously, the "Value" field needs to be clicked (to set the focus on it) before a value can be typed in
2. NEW: Press F5 to invoke method, execute functional test or start a performance test
3. NEW: Added support for scripting using IronPython. A "task" object which contains the several methods for executing test cases and invoking methods is exposed to the IronPython runtime.

   Please see the links below for some scripting samples

   • Getting started with scripting
   • Using a script to invoke multiple services

4. NEW : Added new console application, WcfStormConsole.exe for executing IronPython scripts from the command line.
5. NEW : Added keyboard shortcuts. Check out : Help --> Shortcut

4. If service implements multiple contracts, not all test cases are loaded
5. Fixed handling of System.Uri type on the response

v1.1.8

New Features:

1. Enhanced performance for long running performace tests.
