Nightly Changelog: 8.1.15-b2022020716 ## Data Model **5278: Store and forward Local Cache exceeding 100%** Fixed an issue where the store and forward disk cache count was based on data points and not records. **5503: Grouping of tag history data within memory buffer causes severe degraded performance when disk cache is unavailable** Fixed an issue where newly inserted tag history data within the store and forward memory buffer would always be grouped with the previous stored in the buffer, causing only a single record to ever exist in the memory buffer. This would have effectively bypassed the max record size for the buffer since all history data would always group into one record. ## Infrastructure **5282: Improve Logging in GatewayCommUtil and the add gateway connection message when comm errors happen** Improved diagnostic/troubleshooting info available on the launchers when connecting to a new gateway. ## Visualization - Web **1574: Designer is very slow to import extremely deep project trees, uses excessive resources** Significantly improved performance when importing complex projects in the designer. **4203: Alarm Status Table: Column widths reset to default with any interaction** The Alarm Status Table Component will now preserve column widths when selecting a row, or switching between "active" and "shelved" tabs. **5523: Map: vector click position properties are missing or throw an error** Map vector and marker click event position properties no longer missing, a regression fix. ---

Nightly Changelog: 8.1.15-b20220208 ## Visualization **4723 Add pointer events to Perspective component** Added Pointer events as a supported component event now that they are supported by all of Perspectives supported browsers. Pointer events will track touch interactions as well as stylus and pen interactions. NOTE: Pointer events have only recently become available to all of our supported browsers. For this reason, these events may not be available in older versions of Safari and Firefox. If the events are not working in those instances, it is recommended to upgrade the browser to the most current version. **5379: Simple Gauge component properties** Simple Gauge Component: 3 new props added to props.label - offsetX, offsetY, and color. offsetX and offsetY are used for moving the label relative to its original position of middle-bottom and color specifies the fill color of the text within the label. For advanced users - additional props specified in props.label are automatically forwarded to AMCharts's Label Component, allowing for functionality beyond what is defined in the Perspective component schema. ---

Nightly Changelog: 8.1.15-b20220212 ## Enterprise **5396: Gateway Network tasks can become orphaned after network issues** Fixed an issue where Active Outgoing Tasks on a given gateway network connection might become orphaned and remain in the list when not collected by a remote gateway (due to some network issue). Also added a periodic cleanup of stale pending messages (the messages that are cached via "CallResults" for retrieval by a remote gateway, typically associated with an orphaned outgoing task). ## Visualization **4659: Map Transform: Not returning errors for invalid expression tags bindings** Perspective's map transform now correctly supports qualities on returned values. **3861: Perspective Session Launcher/Workstation Missing Applications due to NPE** Fixed a Null Pointer Exception that occurs when a Perspective view's view.json is corrupted or invalid (0kb) which had prevented the listing of all applications- even ones with a valid view.json- within Perspective Workstation. An error will still be present in the logs on startup if a project has a view in this state, indicating which project and views were affected. It is possible to delete/recreate the affected views within the Designer. **5096: NPE with SimpleTable in reporting, unable to open the report design or preview** Avoiding an NPE from a misconfigured Reporting table causing the Designer to become unresponsive. **2099: Update gateway connection lost window** Improved the UI for the Designer and Client connection lost dialog. ## Infrastructure **5431: Upgrade the bundled JRE to 11.0.14** Updated the bundled java runtime to version 11.0.14. ---

Nightly Changelog: 8.1.16-b20220222 ## Infrastructure **5134: Docker Image: Avoid forced recreation of gateway.xml on each launch** Docker image entrypoint will no longer forcibly recreate data/gateway.xml on each launch, allowing for settings adjustments from the gateway web UI to properly persist without static definition in the container configuration. ---
