What's new in QuickOPC 2018.3

Internal version number: 5.54

Key changes:

Targeting

.NET runtimes: Removed .NET Framework 4.5.2 from the list of supported .NET runtimes (use .NET Framework 4.6.2 instead).
.NET runtimes: Removed .NET Framework 4.6 from the list of supported .NET runtimes (use .NET Framework 4.6.2 instead).
Development tools: Visual Studio 2012 removed from the list of primary development tools. It will likely still work for most tasks, though.

The installation packages (for Windows) have been renamed to contain "Windows" in their name, e.g. QuickOPC-2018.3-Windows-Full.exe.

Added AllowSha1SignedCertificates property to the UACertificateAcceptancePolicy class. Determines whether certificates signed with SHA-1 message digest algorithm can be accepted.
Added MinimumCertificateKeySize property to the UACertificateAcceptancePolicy class. Determines the minimum length of the certificate's public key.
When performing OPC UA application discovery on a given host, endpoint URLs with schemes that are known to be not supported by the OPC UA stack or .NET runtime are silently skipped, resulting in faster discovery and better error diagnostic in some cases.
Error messages resulting from OPC UA SDK actions now contain a report, detailing the exceptions and SDK traces gathered during the action.

Setting an OPC UA certificate acceptance policy specific to an endpoint is no longer supported, as it cannot be reliably implemented due to limitations of the underlying UA stack. You can set the certificate acceptance policy globally.

In the Point Editor window (Browse tab), context menu on the "OPC Unified Architecture" node now has a command that allows configuring the global Endpoint Selection Policy (applies when a specific policy is not set on the endpoint).
