1643: Expose current window width and height dimensions in page props
Added a primarily read-only dimensions object property to Perspective pages.
The object has the following shape:
{
"enabled": Boolean,
"viewport": {
"width": Float (in pixels),
"height": Float (in pixels)
},
"screen": {
"width": Float (in pixels),
"height": Float (in pixels)
},
"centerView": {
"width": Float (in pixels),
"height": Float (in pixels),
"scrollLeft": Float (in pixels),
"scrollTop": Float (in pixels)
}
}
enabled: The page dimensions in this object will update accordingly if true. While false, the dimension values will not update.
viewport: The âinnerâ boundaries of the browser, ie: the dimensions of the page.
screen: The dimensions of the screen the page is on (only updates on browser resize and Page Startup).
centerView The dimensions of the primary view in use for the page, and how much scroll is currently applied to that view.
These properties are available for binding through the view, and can also be accessed as part of the Page object within scripting contexts which have access to the page object in any way (Page Startup/Shutdown events or anything similar).

991: Map: ability to add custom map controls as views to the top right, bottom left, and bottom right corners of the map
Added a customControls component property (an array of custom control objects) that allows the user to embed a view into the Map component. For each custom control, the user will specify a path to the view, any params for the view, a position on the map where the view will be located (options being top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left), and the enabled state of the custom control. The user can add any number of controls to a corner. Through the use of property bindings, scripts, etc, the user can now perform actions on the Map component from these custom controls.
578: Perspective Workstation: Fallback Redirect
Perspective Workstation added a new Fallback Redirect feature. If communication with the gateway stops Workstation can open a different application after a specified delay. It also supports auto-returning to the original application once that gateway(s) comes back online and active.
1750: Multiple calls to system.eam.runTask() within a short time yields inconsistent results
Fixed an issue where duplicated tasks (including generated tasks via system.eam.runTask) would not have unique IDs, leading to undesired behavior if multiple tasks were generated in a short time.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210420
2010: Map: add vector layer component mouse events
Added a onVectorClick event function for Map component vector layers that will return the vector layers name, type of vector as a string, and the vectors position coordinates. Also changed the type expected for the name parameter in both onVectorClick and onMarkerClick events to be of any type.

2349: Changing Parent value in a UDT def from bad value to good can leave tags in uncertain state
Resolved an issue where tag subscriptions in Perspective may not be successful because the subscription was case sensitive to the tag path.

Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210429
2314: Script Manager: Saving Gateway event scripts that canât compile prevent script manager from updating other Gateway scripts on the same project
Fixed an issue where deliberately saving tag change scripts that did not compile could affect the execution of unrelated tag change scripts.
1976: Perspective Components in the Vision Web Browser Component will not receive input from the Vision On-Screen Keyboard
The Vision Web Browser Component now supports Touchscreen mode for perspective sessions running inside the component.
2252: Upgrade underscore JS Dependency Versions due to CVEs
Underscore dependencies in both the react-timeseries-charts and pondjs libraries were updated to 1.13.1. 1.12.1 and below are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via the template function, particularly when a variable property is passed as an argument as it is not sanitized.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210503
2263: MissingFormatArgumentException: Format specifier â%sâ in TimePartBetweenFunction-based expression functions
Fixed an error message that caused another error if a null value sent to expressions that calculate the time between dates.
2323: Programmable Simulator UI coerces values using locale
Stop using Locale to parse numbers.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210504
2330 Perspective Table Component - Add ability to adjust table row height
This adds a height property under the rows component property that allows for a value of auto or any numeric value (representing a height in pixels) to be specified. This value is treated as as a min-height value so that subview expansion can remain operational. Table rows can be larger than this value (depending on the height of the content that they display), but that cannot be smaller.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210505
2286 Embedded View: Changes to instanced view are not reflected in Embedded View component until main view is re-opened
Embedded View component will once again immediately render changes to the underlying View in the Designer. This is evident when editing both the Embedded View Componentâs view, and the View containing the Embedded View Component simultaneously.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210506
2009: system.net.httpClient timeout parameter doesnât accept int values
Passing a number for the timeout parameter of scripting function system.net.httpClient will now succeed.
1293: ScriptManager Collision at system.util.initialize
No longer logging harmless ScriptManager collision logs to ERROR.
2340 Upgrade the bundled JRE to 11.0.11
Upgraded the bundled version of java to 11.0.11. NOTE: This version disabled TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 by default and must be manually re-enabled as defined in the openJDK issue JDK-8254713 if these protocols are required.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210507
2444: Tables: no rows displayed when placed in Tab Container
Fixed an issue with the tab container which forced Table based components such as the Alarm Journal, Alarm Status, and Table Component rows to have 0 height. Also tabâs with an empty string for a tab prop will now correctly render their contents.

Persistent SFC charts no longer resume in a Stopped state upon gateway restart and no longer cause an NPE in the SFC Monitor Component.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.6-b20210507 - addendum
2417: Missing vector coordinates field in Map onVectorClick scripting function detail
Added missing details regarding the position field on the onVectorClick scripting function.
