SUMMARY: In this month’s Valence Developer Diaries, the CNX Dev team walked through the completely redesigned Behaviors editor in Nitro App Builder (NAB), released in Valence 6.4. The demo showed the new layout with triggers and actions grouped by category, a dedicated event listeners area, and new copy and move options for actions. It also covered the new Application Lifecycle screen for startup and close programs and URL parameters, plus much easier navigation: see who fired an event, search across all actions, and jump straight into a widget’s behaviors from the app itself.
