Nightly 8.1 Changelogs - 2022

Weekly Changelog: 8.1.24-b20221214

Visualization

5835: Vision: Ability to detect when available and to trigger a project update
Added a new Update Mode for vision: "None". This allows the project designer to handle delivering updates to running clients manually with the help of a new boolean Vision Client system tag named ProjectUpdateAvailable and a companion scripting function system.vision.updateProject() which will actually perform the project update on the Vision Client.

6861: Perspective: Axes applied incorrect on XY chart with multiple series
Fixed regression preventing more than one XYChart series from being assigned to a single axis.

2624: Docked Views: Dismissing modal docked view by clicking overlay can potentially result in different docked view becoming visible
Fixed an issue where dismissing a docked modal view would open a different docked view.

Connectivity

6922: TCP Driver needs a write timeout setting
Added a "Write Timeout" setting to the TCP Driver.

Data Model

6786: UDT Parent Data Type: Referencing a folder causes any UDT definitions below that folder to no longer be browsable for this property
Fixed UDT parent types that don't exist from hiding existing UDT Definitions under the path of non-existent parent type.
Fixed stale folders showing up in the new Data Type Instance menu.

Added support for "pattern" type svg elements.
