See also: Versions; Previous version: What's new in OPC Studio 2024.1
Internal version number: 5.81
Key changes:
Targeting
- .NET 7 is no longer supported (Microsoft end of support May 14, 2024), but will likely work. .NET 6 and and .NET 8 continue to be supported.
Technology
- OPC UA Client-Server parts are now based on OPC Foundation UA-.NETStandard 1.5.373.121.
Installation and Uninstallation
- The Setup wizard now offers a choice of "express installation" for Python development. When selected, only the setup components relevant for Python developers are installed.
Component Improvements
OPC UA
- Added static method UANodeId.FromUABuiltInType, and an implicit conversion operator, for conversion from UABuiltInType to a UANodeId representing the datatype Id for the built-in type.
- Added method UANodeId.ToUABuiltInType, and an explicit conversion operator, for conversion from UANodeId representing the data type Id to UABuiltInType that corresponds to the data type.
OPC UA PubSub
- The "tls" scheme can now be used in resource addresses, and is equivalent to "mqtts" or "ssl".
User Interface
Windows Forms Dialogs
- Added LooseReferenceTypes property to the UADataDialog class. Setting it to true causes the dialog to browse following very wide set of reference types, in order to cope with non-compliant servers.
Tools and Online Services
OpcCmd Utility
OPC UA Client-Server
- The uaClient collectSoftwareInfo command now also collects the new server capabilities introduced in OPC UA 1.05 (such as MaxSessions, MaxSubscriptions, etc.).
Examples
Platform: .NET
- Wherever feasible, converted the C# and VB.NET example projects for Console and Windows Forms to the "SDK" (multi-target) format, allowing them to be built for and run on either .NET Framework 4.7.2+, or .NET 6+.
OPC UA Client-Server
- Added C# example showing how to read the build information of the server.
- Added C# example showing how to remove the own application certificate.
Documentation and Help
- Significantly improved the reference documentation.
