Overview

This is a very important upgrade that improves the way you model your design. Improved modeling always results in better applications, and so it happens when you use the Design System Object. With this domain-specific language for modeling designs, you get more accuracy and performance at runtime.
Furthermore, generated applications get improved by new UI Controls and capabilities for Native Mobile applications, technology improvements for the back end, new integration capabilities, and last but not least, security updates and features.
