This update takes advantage of the persistent context feature introduced in Node-RED version 0.19.

Previously, the node would enter the `Default State` on startup, either when first deployed in the editor, re-deployed as part of a modified flow or entire workspace, or when Node-RED is restarted by the user or by a system service. Now, however, the user can select the `Restore from saved state` option (checkbox) in the edit dialog. Then, if a persistent form of context storage has been enabled in the Node-RED `settings.js` file, the node will attempt to enter the state last saved in the node context. It will use the `Default State` only if no saved state is available.

The new version is intended to be backward compatible with earlier ones. Please report any [issues](https://github.com/drmibell/node-red-contrib-simple-gate/issues).
