Hello! The new 0.37.0 version of the XOD visual programming language is out. It does not contain any new significant features but instead tweaks and fixes many small annoying UI flaws. Here’s some of them:

  • The bottom deployment pane is resizable now to see more/less output
  • The output text in the deployment pane now might be copied or saved to a file with a single click
  • When creating a link, you can press T, C, W to quickly place a Terminal, Constant, Tweak, or a Watch right under the cursor
  • Press Ctrl+U for Upload
  • Bus nodes are now more painless to point with the cursor

Under the hood

XOD devs finally managed to update the underlying platforms to get along with the time. In particular, Electron is updated to v10 and NodeJS to v12. Although this update is hardly noticeable, it is required to go on with further development. In any case, the update brings more performance and security.

As usual, the release includes other small improvements and enhancements. Read the full list on GitHub.

Get the new version of XOD from the downloads page or try it directly in your browser. If you have XOD installed already, click the update message when IDE starts.
