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.

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 to the "SDK" (multi-target) format, allowing them to be built for and run on either .NET Framework 4.7.2+, or .NET 6+.

Documentation and Help

  • Moved all Python (.NET) examples to their own group, separate from .NET and COM.
