# v2.0 - Arcturus

This page gives an overview over all changes since the 1.2 release.

# General

The AppDesigner and AppHub now have a new, more modern UI
Switched to new IoTHub API v4 (IoTHub version 4.0)
The AppDesigner API is now stable and will therefore be backward-compatible in the future
Apps can now be released instead of being saved
- There are two types of releases: test releases and normal releases
- This makes it easier to distribute production versions of your apps while still being able to test the apps while creating them
The AppDesigner and AppHub fully support the IoTHub's new multitenancy feature

Input and Dropdown Widgets can be disabled for a certain period of time after sending data
It is now possible to change the color of the Animated Bar widget depending on the current value
Dynamic Images now allow defining multiple conditions
- The image of the first condition that is met, is displayed
- We now support more compatators: Not equal to, Greater or equal to, Less or equal to
Buttons now support Open Link Effects that open a specified URL

To help you build multiple similar apps, it is now possible to create templates from an existing app
- It is possible to create new apps from these templates in the main menu
- The new Template Manager gives an overview over all your templates
Widgets can now be duplicated to save redundant work
You can now have up to 5 layers of layout widgets (instead of 3 previously)
From now on, only users with the new AppDesigner Admin right can build apps
The current state of the app is now validated regularly
- If there are problems with the app, meaningfull error and info messages are displayed
It is now possible to replace one Thing by another Thing throughout the app instead of exchangig it in every widget that uses it
The new Release Manager helps you to create, distribute and delete your app releases
Sample images can now be removed
Minor Changes

- The AppDesigner can be closed without confirmation if there are no unsaved changes.
- The AppDesigner now reminds you to save your app regularly
- Many bugfixes and small improvements
- You can now reset your password on the AppDesigner's login page

The AppHub has a fully re-written data connection to the IoTHub which should significantly improve performance and stability
You can now login for each app seperately. This allows you to use different apps from the same IoTHub with different user accounts
The compatibility of IoTHubs is now checked before adding an app
For users without PlayStore access, the AppHub can now also be installed using the Elco store
The AppHub now displays in-app notifications when new alarms are raised
