3148: Update Linux Installer to Allow for Detached Processes (EAM Upgrade) and Passwordless Service Restart
Ignition installs on Linux and Mac OS via the Installer now add an appropriate sudoers file for the Ignition Service so that EAM Agent Upgrades can be performed successfully without requiring interactive authentication. This only occurs if the RUN_AS_USER env variable is set in ignition.sh (the default for installs and upgrades using the Ignition Installer) or ignition.shconf.
Added ignition.sh runupgrader command as well as run-upgrader.bat on Windows to simplify running Ignitionâs Upgrader on upgrades.
EAM Agent Upgrades no longer change the Ignition Gateway service name back to the default when upgrading.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210901

system.tag.exists is no longer inefficient when checking UDT instances.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210907
3383: Deleting Aliased Point For DNP3 Device Does Not Result In Bad Quality For Aliased Tag
Fixed an issue where tags referencing DNP3 aliased points would remain in good quality even after those aliased points have been deleted.
2776: DNP3: issues connecting resulting in unbounded number of threads
Fixed an issue which caused the DNP3 request queue to be backed up if IIN bits are constantly set on requests from the outstation. When in this state, editing and saving the device connection would lead to unbounded number of threads.
3843: system.alarm.createRoster() invoked by Vision Clients Do Not Enforce Access Controls
Fixed an issue where the Gateway did not enforce access controls using the alarm management permission when system.alarm.createRoster() was invoked by Vision Clients.
4414: System.alarm.createRoster doesnât trim leading white space in name field

2774: Perspective Property Editor - Property Bindings appear to affect values outside of the view that theyâre defined
Property Bindings will no longer appear to affect Properties of Components outside their view with the same Property & Component Path. This issue was evident within the Property Editor when two or more views were open, and a Component with a shared Component and Property Pathâs bindings changed due to a binding.

Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210910
3921: Power Chart - Refactor fetchable query usage in the model delegate with zoom component properties
The majority of this work does not result in any detectable change to the user, but there were additional component properties added:
While we currently donât have a way to enforce the âread-onlyâ nature of these properties, any external changes to them will not update the level of zoom displayed on the chart. They are just meant to report the level of zoom and should not be modified by the user. These properties start at a default value of 1 (1x) and are updated as the user zooms in/out of the chart or the range brush (in Historical mode).
3919: Some Logix driver diagnostic tags donât work when disconnected
Fixed an issue where the Logixâs driver Connected and Hostname diagnostics tags have no value if the gateway is started up with the device offline.
3912: Upgrading from 7.9 to 8.1 doesnât retain historyMaxAge property if using default value
Fixed a bug where history enabled tags having a âMax time between recordsâ default value of 1 would have an incorrect âMax Time Between Samplesâ value of 0 when upgraded from 7.9 to 8.x.

4439 Editing SFC timer script does not trigger project change logic, results in change being lost
An edit to an SFC action step timer script will not mark the chart as having changed, resulting in the potential loss of the script edit if no other element of the chart is modified before save.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210914
3916: Historical Deadband Mode of off is not being respected
Fixed issue where historical deadband mode of âoffâ was not being respected.
3915: Max Time between samples only logs last logged value if value hasnât changed enough
Tag history âmax time between valuesâ stores the last previously stored value, instead of the current value (which may be different, if a deadband is applied).
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210916
3266: Tag Alarmâs State property contains less descriptive string values after version 8.1.4
Fixed a regression which caused the âStateâ runtime alarm property to show the same value as âEventStateâ. The State property now shows the full state (Active/Cleared, Un/Acknowledged) like it did in 8.1.4 and prior.
4426: Perspective does not close session using scripting function immediately after inactivity logout
2650: Map: maxBounds no longer visible by default and is added as null instead of object
Map component now has a maxBounds property by default that a user can set two latitude longitude coordinate points to limit a user to only being able to interact between the set max bounds points.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210917
207: Table: revisions and additions to user available styles and how they are applied
Added new component style props and repurposed some existing style props to better represent the style as defined:

2717: Make system.alarm.queryStatus/queryJournal return PyAlarmEvent wrappers automatically
system.alarm.queryStatus() and queryJournal() now wrap their results in a PyAlarmEvent.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210920
4420: 7.9 Tag XML exports will lose bindings for Notification Pipeline properties when imported
Tag XML imports from Ignition 7 would lose bindings configured on alarm pipeline settings (active, clear, ack pipelines).
3674: UDT member OPC tags fail to load if their datatype is bound and the tag has a value property
Tags with bound dataTypes will now correctly load when a Value property is set.
4453: Handle missing Content-Length Better in IdpProxyWebServer
Fixed an issue where IdP-based authentication could fail in the designer or vision client if a proxy intercepts Gateway responses and forwards them using chunked transfer encoding.
4478: Perspective Maps: When maxBounds are not set the default values applied are causing issue as user navigates the map or utilizes panTo/flyTo
Max Bounds Map property default value should be undefined to allow for no bounds at all.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210921
2722: Exit login button and maker edition banner overlap in login screen on mobile device
The Ignition Maker Edition banner will no longer overlap the âExit Loginâ button on the login screen.
2854: Slider visible property only affects slider bar above value
Setting a Slider Componentâs meta.visible to false no longer results in part of the slider being visible.
2735: Designer Launcher dropping down to 256Mb after changing IP Address
The Designer and Vision Client Launchers now always retrieve the latest project properties and gateway settings when launching regardless of how recently they were retrieved.
2453: Remote Alarm Pipeline does not drop out on Acknowledge condition when Cleared beforehand
Fixed issue where remote pipeline monitoring was accidentally removing an event after the first update, missing the subsequent updates.
4473: Adding wildcard subscriptions can take 5+ minutes on systems with large tag counts due to repetitive deep-copying of snapshots
Wildcard subscriptions were browsing into tag properties unnecessarily, causing processing delays for large tag sets. This could cause delays in publishing values through MQTT Transmission.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210922
3554: Module with Chinese characters in license file does not calculate license CRC properly
Acceptance of third-party module license (with non-UTF-8 content) now correctly computes and stores the representative checksum.
4144: EAM table binding functions and system.eam. * scripting should not be available on agent gateways
EAM scripting & binding functions are now hidden on Agents and can only be used on Controller Gateways.
894: Undo of component deletion always places component at highest z-index among other components
When deleting a component, and undoing the delete, the component is placed at its original z-index.
Nightly Changelog: 8.1.11-b20210923
2348: Power Chart / Time Series / Chart Range Selector - Add Y axis tick count and data value format
Adds the ability to adjust the tick label display and the tick count for a user-defined Y axis on the Power Chart, Time Series Chart, and Chart Range Selector. New component properties are exposed to allow for this, and both properties default to a value of Auto (current/default behavior) to allow for backwards compatibility.
When the tick count is Auto, Y axis ticks will be added/removed based on the height of the chart, and the tick spacing is adjusted around whole numbers (if appropriate). When the tick count is set to a numeric value, ticks will be generated precisely at the location where that tick should be shown (divide 100 by the number of ticks, and that âpercentage positionâ is where the tick will be shown on the axis). This does not account for whole numbers, and the value will be very precise to that tick location in the axis. If using the Property Editor, the user can enter their own value of select from the follow suggested values:
âAutoâ: âAutoâ,
â2â: 2,
â4â: 4,
â6â: 6,
â8â: 8,
â10â: 10
When the tick label format is Auto, the D3 format ~f is used. This creates a fixed point number that will trim any insignificant trailing zeros (1000.00 â 1000 or .100100 â .1001`). The user can also provide a string value that represents a D3 format. If using the Property Editor, the user can enter their own value of select from the follow suggested values:
âAutoâ: âAutoâ,
âInteger [1234]â: âdâ,
â2 Decimal Points [1234.00]â: â.2fâ,
â4 Decimal Points [1234.0000]â: â.4fâ,
âComma-Separated Integer [1,234]â: â,.0fâ,
âComma-Separated w/ 2 Decimal Points [1,234.00]â: â,.2fâ,
âPercentage [123400%]â: â.0%â,
âCurrency [$1,234.00]â: â$,.2fâ,
âHexadecimal (lowercase) [4d2]â: âxâ,
âHexadecimal (uppercase) [4D2]â: âXâ,
âBinary [10011010010]â: âbâ,
âOctal [2322]â: âoâ,
âExponential [1.234000e+3]â: âeâ
Any entry under the axes component property now has axes[ x ].tick.count and axes[ x ].tick.label.format properties available. Additionally, when using the Settings menu at runtime, there are new text fields at the bottom of Edit Axes form for the Tick Count and Tick Label Format values. The tick count will take a string value (if string, treated as Auto) or a numeric value. The tick label format will take a string value and pass it forward. The value must be a valid D3 Format value.
Any entry under the plots[ x ].axes component property now has plots[ x ].axes[ x ].tick.count and plots[ x ].axes[ x ].tick.label.format properties available.
The yAxis component property now has yAxis.tick.count and yAxis.tick.label.format properties available.
1571: Label: Text overflow options and shadow not honored
Added textStyle prop to the Label Component. It allows for text overflow ellipsis. To display ellipsis, set props.textStyle overflow: hidden, whiteSpace: nowrap, textOverflow: ellipsis. Also fixes a bug in the style editor where the Text - shadow section of the style editor wasnât initially expanded if there was already a value present.
