    • integration.

    • Upgrade improvements allow one-click upgrades with optimized solution file size.

    • Script-Historian integration enables using custom scripts as Historian target databases.

    • Alarm acknowledgment tracking includes a new state to monitor whether an alarm returns to normal while still active, supporting advanced acknowledgment rules.

    • Automatic TCP/IP port allocation and simplified Windows Service setup for managing multiple running projects.

    • Themes rebuilt from the ground up, with improved usability and new built-in options for easier styling across web and desktop.

    • Mobile layouts are now easier to define when creating layouts. 



     

  • Memory Usage Improvements: Approximately 50% reduction in memory requirements on running solutions. Powering better performance in large size and mission critical applications. Upgrading is as simple as clicking one button, and it'll result in smaller, more efficient solutions.
  • Scripts and Historian Integration. It allows for easy use of a custom script, as a Historian TargetDB, for archiving or retrieving data. 
  • Alarm Acknowledgement Enhancements: additional state to track if an alarm returns to a normalized and active status, allowing to require acknowledgment of current alarm condition, and the previous ones. 
  • Automatic management of TCP/IP connection ports, option to automatically allocate ports when running multiple projects. Tools for easier installation as a Windows Service for multiple projects. 
  • Improved support to Themes. We've build those from scratch so it's easier to use and added more.
