Added hover-evaluation support for widgets in the inspector. Hover over a widget to evaluate the object, view properties, widget state, etc.
Added a console with evaluation support to the inspector. When you select a widget in the inspector widget tree, the object you selected will automatically populate in the console below, where you can explore the object and its properties. When paused at a breakpoint, you can also evaluate expressions from this console.
Added descriptive icons and colors for widgets in the widget tree
Added text previews for text widgets
UX improvements to icons and coloring for visual debugging actions.
Added rich tooltips to visual debugging actions that provide a more detailed explanation of their functionality as well as a link to documentation to learn more.

You can manually refresh the timeline events in the timeline event chart by clicking the “Refresh timeline events” button:
