Pingendo releases and updates

Bootstrap 4.3.1

25 Feb 2019

The latest update from the Bootstrap team has just been fully supported. Here are the changes:

  • Responsive Font Size - a very interesting feature regarding font scaling. Font-size will be calculated according to the dimension of the visitor's device. It is not enabled by Bootstrap default, so you'll need to activate it or from the THEME panel with the related Font Size inspector, or through the SASS panel. The new SASS setting looks like $enable-responsive-font-sizes: true;

    • source: RFS project on Github

  • Border radius - In the THEME inspector there are also two new fields that will allow you to set different border radius per small and large. element sizes. Border radius can both be expressed as an absolute value or relatively to another setting > .25rem or $border-radius*2
  • Scroll modal content - just by adding the class modal-dialog-scrollable you'll be able to scroll content within a modal.
  • Horizontal lists list-group-horizontal is a new responsive class modifier that will display list groups as a horizontal row.

New projects will load the latest default, yet older projects could be updated simply changing the import in the SASS panel - update it to @import 'bootstrap-4.3.1'; and changing the scripts at the bottom of your HTML pages - copy/paste them from the official Bootstrap page.

Bootstrap 4.2.0

14 Jan 2019

Recently the Bootstrap team has shipped a new version of the framework. The release is now supported in Pingendo with a set of new, handy features:

  • Spinners - Pingendo was listing Font Awesome animated icons, that are already including loading spinners and so on. But now there's the official Bootstrap version 
  • Text classes - change the font-weight simply by adding font-weight-lighter or font-weight-bolder. Remove text decoration on links by adding text-decoration-none to the link class > this is a bolder, non-underlined link
  • Toast and modals - mobile-alike notification alert. To use them, remember to initialize them (as tooltips and popovers). For modals, a new modal-xl has been added, for even larger elements.
  • Switch - a custom checkboxes have been enhanced with a iOS style switch. Find it in the list of form children.

Check out the Bootstrap official blog to see the 4.2 ship list and get direct links to the docs for more, extensive explanation on every change. For any bug report, visit our Github repo.

New components!

25 Oct 2018

A new round of improvements has just been released. Check out the latest news here:

  • New Components -  the component list has been enlarged and enhanced with new and ready-to-use Bootstrap components. All of them have specific setting on the right inspector, for a full customization without typing code.
  • On canvas action - you might have notice a new toolbar just above every element in the canvas. This short menu would let you interact faster and more precisely with the selection. Clone, delete or move items, or add a child with one click: see the range of possibilities by selecting the menu icon.
  • Margin and responsive utilities - Pingendo builder is based on Bootstrap framework and its mobile-first philosophy. As responsive settings are fundamental for creating any UI we've created a specific inspector on the right when columns are selected. Margin and padding  input are also more specific and easier to set.
  • Bug fixes - there were few glitches that have been fixed in this round. As usual we are collecting bug reports on the official Github project > go on Github. You can find the current updating situation and a brief roadmap about the next features that are going to be released.

Pingendo 4.1

We are very happy to announce a major release which brought many news in Pingendo. The whole team has been developing heads down for a while and we're eager to share the improvements with you! See some of the enhancements listed below:

  • New Sections -  the lists of premade blocks have been restyled and extended with more, amazing sections. Maps, assets, inline styles: there are many news, so take your time to check'em all. More prototyping interfaces will be soon introduced, for app-designer and web-delevoper happiness!
  • CSS panel - customizing your web project is now even easier with the CSS panel and the inline style editor. Select the element you want to style and start adding backgrounds, transformations and so on. Choose a custom name for directly writing a CSS rule: then you can always inspect and modify it from the code editor (F2). Otherwise, leave selected the inline tag and it will be embedded in line in the HTML, together with the element itself. 
  • Bootstrap 4.1.3 - the latest Bootstrap version is fully supported, together with some terrific news they've introduced (eg. shadows, flex-properties, ...). Have a look to the official v4.1.3 ship list for more details.
  • Builder interface - as you might have already noticed, the section tree on the upper right has been enhanced, giving you more control on the page structure. Moreover,  you can now zoom in and out the pageview from the upper toolbar, which is a perfect feature for dragging sections easily and where you want. The code editor has also been improved with a better search function.
  • Templates - start a new project and pick a template from within the app, without needing to browse our external library. The templates have also been updated to the v4.1.3 Bootstrap version and more are coming soon.
  • Stability - a massive developing work has been done on the software stability and many bugs have been fixed in this release. In the Help menu in app you can now access the About section, that's telling the software current version and for bug reporting via Github -> click here for issue on Github. Pingendo now features an auto-updating system, so the app will be continuously improved and updates will pop-up regularly. 

To get the latest release, visit our new website and download it. Thanks to all our users and the growing community of people helping us to make Pingendo better everyday. Write us for anything, both on Twitter or at info@pingendo.com
