What's new in versiondog 9.7.0 and 9.7.1 (March 2023)¶

The following table shows the optimizations made in the current versiondog version.

Device integration and versioning¶

We are continuously improving the functionality and the range of supported devices / editors.

• Beckhoff TwinCAT: optimization of the upload so that empty directories can be compared
• Cognex In-Sight: Exception handling when uploading Cognex In-Sight with SD cards COPADATA Zenon:
  • Support of version 10
  • Exception handling when versioning or comparing projects comparison of projects
• FANUC CNC: Exception handling during comparison
• FTP:
  • Optimization of the upload so that recursive symlinks are only followed once
  • Exception handling when uploading empty files using FTP
• GE Proficy: Improvement of the upload so that assets can also be saved that do not have object properties
• Rockwell RSLogix 5000: support of version 34
• Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Control Expert: support for version 15.1 & 15.2
• Siemens TIA Portal:
  • Support of version 18
  • Optimization when comparing changes to outputs for blocks in TIA Portal projects
  • Exception handling when comparing device configuration in version 15.1
• Universal Workflow: The Component type editor Module receives an additional table in which the unpacking of packed projects/archives can be set

Usability/Interface¶

We have adapted the interface for easier and more secure handling and access to information.

• Fixed an error in the web server when sorting (by "Job name" or "Upload type") in the job list area.
• Adjusted the server display in the Client so that the correct server name is displayed directly
• Added additional license information in the Licensing dialog, Activation tab, which makes it easier to assign a system ID to the customer.

System performance/stability¶

Stable and efficient software is the be-all and end-all for us and is improved by the following adjustments:

• Increased system stability when displaying certain Job results
• Increased system stability when automatically exporting Job results. The export does not run into a timeout even with large data volumes.
• Finalization of the database conversion to PostgreSQL, so that the Firebird database is no longer used in the server but only in the client.
• Adaptation of the Archive manager to achieve stable outsourcing of data/information with PostgreSQL databases.
• Error correction in server synchronization so that the process is successfully executed even with special configurations.
• Error correction in the BackupClient so that it no longer crashes in exceptional cases when logging in for the first time.

Miscellaneous¶

To improve your user experience, we have also made changes in other areas.

• BackupClient: synchronization with the server also possible without Administrative rights.
• Improvement of the internal debugging output to simplify root cause analysis in case of license problems.
• Update of third-party libraries used in the program directory.
• For security reasons, the usage information exported from the server will no longer contain client information in the future.
• Elimination of the possibility to create an "OWASP CSV Injection" by a CSV export.
