Glad to know about Ignition 8.3 beta. i have a question, will it have any relaxation on 10 million data points /35 days storage limits with ignition edge ?

I'm an integrator, and I highly doubt they'll relax that limit. There's a reason edge is cheaper. If you need more records, then you just have to upgrade to standard and the limitation is gone.

No, the Edge Historian contains the same storage restrictions as it did previously.

Not gonna lie, seeing this made me excited ^^

The only bad part is that now we are gonna have 7.9, 8.1 and 8.3 documentation :face_with_spiral_eyes:

It's great to have 8.3 out. I love how you restructured the gateway config page. It's going to take some getting used to but I think it's objectively better than before.

oops. I see where you want feedback :slight_smile:

Nah, drop v7.9. It is completely end-of-life now. Continuing to run it is a really bad idea.
