New Features:

• Added support for low-code development functions, rich page editing functions, follow HarmonyOS JS development specifications.

Improved Features:

• The HarmonyOS SDK has a new API Version 6 interface, and the Stage is Beta.
• The distributed simulator function is enhanced, this feature is enabled by default, and there is no need to manually enable it in DevEco Labs.
• HiTrace log tracking and analysis capabilities are enhanced, and timeline view and events view are newly added.

Solved Problems:

• Solved the problem that the preview interface (text, image, etc.) would be zoomed when the screen density set in the qualifier directory was inconsistent with the real device.
• Solved the problem that when using the remote simulator, real-name authentication is required, and real-name authentication is still required after the real-name authentication is completed.
• Solved the problem that the remote simulator could not find the device in the list with a small probability.
• Solved the problem that there was a small probability that the running simulator could not be found when using the remote simulator to run the application.
