This update is mostly a bug fix release, but we also threw in a basic undo/redo (which seems to be a bit glitchy, but whatever).

This version features a major refactoring of the view hierarchy allowing shadows to be shown outside of views, even when clipping is activated for subviews.
A lot of new nodes were also added, mostly allowing more properties to be set for a view such as shadows, gradients etc. These nodes replace the previous view node “Interface View”, which was limited and old.
Release notes:
This release offers an updated view hierarchy, allowing shadows to be shown outside views, even when clipping is active. A lot of new nodes have been added, replacing the ”one size fits all” node ”InterfaceNode”. Overall memory management optimisations, show borders in view editor added and a small UI update to the browser also made it in there.

Along the top of any iOS device there is an area that iOS reserves for system features such as the status bar and notch on iPhone X+ or the home indicator line on devices without a home button.
Because this area varies between different iOS devices, layouts created in Nodeo needed to be tall enough to not be hidden behind the notch, but would then look bloated on devices without a notch.
Project settings now offer an option to respect this safe area in a few different ways (none, top, bottom or top and bottom) in order to constrain your layout within the safe margins. You can then extend your sub views outside their parent frame to cover this area. Just remember to turn off “Clip” for the parent view in the Layout panel.
In order to demonstrate safe area insets, we added the option to create new projects from basic templates.
You can choose from 5 different templates; Single view (which is basically an empty project), Navigation bar or Tab bar with Navigation bar. The last two also offer an option to include a collection view showing a list of strings.
Tab bar controllers also have the choice of creating 2-5 tabs, to make it blazingly fast to jump start your project!
Lastly, 3 system colors have been added to support light and dark mode. The system colors can’t be altered, because they are dynamic to the current system mode. Any other color you add will stay the same regardless of what display mode the user has set.
A node is calculated as soon as all incoming connections (inports) have a value (stacked). After the first calculation, subsequent calculations are done whenever an inport has been updated. When combining several nodes with into a single node, some inports might update more often than others leading to calculations with old data.
Because of this, we have added an option to reset inport stacking, requiring all inports to be updated every time before calculation. An example of where this is necessary is when using the node “Image for url” in combination with the “Collection Item” node. We want to download images for each specific item, but only when a key matches a specific value (see image below), not for other values.

This version brings a lot of new features as well as countless fixes from v.1.1. You can now send push messages, show maps and create stunning designs with gradients and shadows! Files have been integrated in a few places, making it even easier to import graphics into your project. Have fun! Highlights below:
This update brings an important new feature to Nodeo and addresses a lot of bugs. Here are the release notes from App Store:
This makes it a lot easier when working with a presentation targeted towards iPhone users. As soon as you launch your project on iPad, the generated thumbnail and application data is automatically uploaded to iCloud. Nodeo automatically checks for updates during startup, but you can also refresh manually if the app is open.
