Main notes about releases

2024

v24.3.0 - September 2024
  • A new function has been introduced in derivatives and Lua modules to create a 'snapshot' of all server tag values.
    A 'snapshot' can be used to: initialize all project tags, including devices if the communication channels are in 'off-line' mode, and in the manager to view the status of all tags present in the project, server-side.
  • Forcing tags belonging to communication channels in simulation mode (offline) is now also possible from the tool 'eScada.Tools.Client'.
  • Fixed some display anomalies for the 'slider' object while editing pictures.
  • Core libraries: wxWidgets v3.3.0, ASIO v1.30.2, SQLite v3.46.1, cURL v8.10.1, open62541 v1.4.4, Lua v5.4.7, LunaSVG v3.0.0
v24.2.1 - July 2024
  • SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images are now usable as image resorce.
  • It is now possible to directly modify the description of a project version.
  • Cross-references now stop at the first level; a specific flag must be enabled to allow recursion.
  • Corrected a false positive in derived tags with parametric text.
  • For AllenBradley-EIP, an anomaly in "chunk mode" for the string data type has been corrected.
  • Core libraries: LunaSVG v2.4.0
v24.2.0 - March 2024
  • For OPC UA server objects, it is now possible to configure the 'readdata' attribute. readdata="0" No reading action will be performed before retrieving data. readdata="1" The device tag will be read before retrieving data.
