To automatically start XIBLE on boot (requires a Linux installation);

Browser support

The browser based graphical editor which comes with XIBLE is currently only supported by the Google Chrome browser; versions 53 and up. Opera, which is based on the same engine as Chrome, is also supported starting from version 44.

Other browsers may work, but some editor functionality is unavailable if Shadow DOM v1 is not implemented. It will be possible to start, stop and delete flows, but deploying and saving is disabled. Also, the detail settings of nodes are not visible.

Changelog

[0.6.0][] - 2017-06-09

Added

• Node inputs now have a string value assignsOutputType that allows the given output to be assigned the same type as the input. See the node structure documentation for more information.

• The default zoomstate of a flow in the editor can be changed through the settings. The value is stored in the configuration file as editor.viewstate.zoomstateonopen.

• The maximum amount of statuses visible on any node in the editor can be changed through the settings. The value is stored in the configuration file as editor.nodes.statuses.max. (#13)

• A flow saves some performance metrics in the timing object. This object is only available on flows in the main thread.

Changed

• xible-wrapper is now fetched from npm. It used to be distributed within the xible package itself.

• All xiblepm commands deliver the user-auth-token header to the registry, if the user is logged in. Previously, the user token was only sent for publish commands.
