Previous: What's new in QuickOPC 2017.1
Internal version number: 5.51
Key changes:
Contents
Targeting
- Operating systems: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) with SP1 is no longer supported.
- Development tools: Visual Studio 2017 added to the list of primary development tools.
Technology
- Microsoft Code Contracts are no longer used. The actual checks on public surface APIs remain in place.
- The product is now developed mainly with Visual Studio 2017.
Component Improvements
- New parameter: UAClientEngineParameters.DebuggerDetectionOverride. Allows to enforce the behavior as if the debugger was or was not attached. Useful for troubleshooting scenarios having to do with OPC UA session keep-alive or lifetime mechanisms.
- New log entry: An information log entry added when OPC UA subscription has been successfully created and checked. The subscription's ID, revised publishing interval, and keep-alive and lifetime counts are recorded. (Some event IDs have been renumbered in relation to this).
Instrumentation
- When the directory-based certificate store is used, the OPC UA engine now logs the resolved directory path of the application certificate.
Tools
Connectivity Explorer
- Many more automatically managed columns are now created with each point type. The new columns are hidden by default, but can be turned on (made visible) by simply changing their Visible property to 'true', without having them to be manually created and configured. For example, "Server Timestamp (UTC)" and "Source Timestamp (UTC) columns are now automatically created.
- Columns in Live Data view now have Visible property, allowing them to be hidden.
- The user can now use a horizontal splitter to change the height of the node information pane height in the Point Editor - Browse. Also, some screen estate has been gained by omitting the node information label.
- The properties of Live Data view columns has been split into several categories (e.g. "Appearance" and "Data"), making it easier to find and modify the information needed.
- The event records are now internally captured right from the program start. When the user makes the Event Records window visible, events captured earlier are already present in the window.
Removed Parts
- Code contracts assemblies have been removed.
