| 3 | +#### XRPCode V2 Beta What’s New |
| 4 | +* Rewritten with modern web tools for more solid and expandable future |
| 5 | +* Google Drive |
| 6 | + * Files are available even without an XRP attached |
| 7 | + * When XRP is attached and you are logged into your Google Drive, you will only see your Google Drive files |
| 8 | + * When a program is run from the Google Drive it is automatically saved to the XRP as well |
| 9 | + * Note - For security reasons XRPCode can only see the files that it has placed on the Google Drive. From the Google Drive side you can see the files that XRPCode has added. But XRPCode can not see any files that you add to that drive outside of XRPCode. |
| 10 | +* New more intelligent editor for Python files |
| 11 | + * We are using the same editor as VSCode. |
| 12 | + * Full Python syntax checking |
| 13 | + * XRPCode will prompt for XRPLib API functions and parameters |
| 14 | +* Advanced features on the right hand 3 dot menu |
| 15 | + * Dashboard |
| 16 | + * Have you ever wondered what the sensors are actually doing on the XRP. With the new Dashboard you can see and graph the values coming back from the XRP. |
| 17 | + * Works over USB or Bluetooth |
| 18 | + * Check out the Dashboard blocks to get started. |
| 19 | + * Drivers (with expandable blocks) |
| 20 | + * Do you have a device that connects to the QWIIC connector? There is now an easy way to install the drivers for that device |
| 21 | + * If the vendor has supplied them, there can be new blocks for the device under the 3rd Party Blocks category |
| 22 | + * Multi language support |
| 23 | + * XRPCode now has support for multiple languages. |
| 24 | + * Currently just Spanish has been done |
| 25 | + * Language will follow the browser settings or can be selected in the settings. |
| 26 | + * Light and Dark mode themes |
| 27 | + * Also found in the settings |
| 28 | + * Backup and Restore |
| 29 | + * XRPCode users can backup the XRP Robot’s files on the Robot to Google Drive. These files can be restored back to the XRP from Google Drive. |
