Historian
Core Historian
IGN-15034: queryAggregatedPoints results from a Core Historian have inaccurate headers
Fixed an issue where querying multiple tags from Core Historian with wide format could return data under incorrect column headers due to unordered stream processing.
IGN-15084: Internal Historian sync to Core Historian: Tag datatype changes incorrectly update datatype column on retired entries
Fixed an issue where Edge Sync to Core Historian would overwrite definition row datatypes instead of properly retiring them, causing historical data to lose its original datatype information after tag datatype changes.
IGN-15036: In components/ bindings with Historical Tag Browsing When using the core historian, the list of historized tags is not displayed.
Fixed an issue where newly historized tags in the Core Historian were not appearing in historical browse results due to retired node definitions being incorrectly cached over active ones.
IGN-15053: Core Historian unable to display both Int and Double values in Power Chart at once
Fixed a Core Historian query failure where querying multiple tags with different data types failed with "Invalid column" errors when using aggregation modes like "Min/Max" in Power Chart.
IGN-14779: Internal historian sync to Core historian will create extra entries in definitions table when changing tag datatype
Fixed an issue in the Core Historian where storing points with a different data type than the cached node created multiple duplicate node definitions instead of properly retiring the existing definition.
Historian
IGN-14653: Move historian SDK API package into separate gateway-api module
Reorganized the historian gateway SDK to isolate public APIs into a dedicated module, ensuring third-party module developers only have access to intended extension points rather than internal implementation details.
IGN-15056: Delays from Edge Historian sync to Remote SQL Historian during datatype change and upgrade
Fixed an issue where the SQL Historian could store values under the wrong tag ID when datatype or deadband style changes occurred while historical values were queued in store and forward.

Fixed an issue where uploading a JDBC driver could incorrectly affect existing database connections, causing queries to fail with a ClassNotFoundException.
IGN-14985: Internal Historian Node Definition Doesn't Update when Backfilling Data
Fixed Internal Historian incorrectly handling backfilled data with timestamps prior to a node's creation time, which could result in data stored against invalid definitions.
IGN-14725: Syncing Annotations through Edge Sync Could Result in Duplicates
Fixed duplicate results in Edge Historian annotation and metadata sync queries that occurred when tags were retired and recreated, and added a composite index to optimize temporal join performance.
IGN-14999: History not Stored Routinely with Deadband Off
Fixed an issue where tags with Historical Deadband set to 'Off' and Periodic or Tag Group sample mode were not storing values at the configured rate when the value remained unchanged.
SQL Historian
IGN-15091: Queries to PPP tables does not return accurate data in 8.3
Fixed an issue where SQL Historian PPP table queries returned only entry values instead of all pre-processed value types (min, max, avg, etc.), causing incorrect data in charts and history queries.
Internal Historian
IGN-14984: Deleted Tags aren't Syncing from Edge Historian
Fixed Edge Historian sync not propagating tag retirement to remote historians when tags were deleted or renamed, leaving stale definitions active.
IGN-14970: Concrete Interpolation Mode isn't Always Being Used for Historical Values when using Edge Sync
Fixed Edge Historian sync incorrectly transmitting "Auto" interpolation mode instead of resolving it to the appropriate concrete mode (Analog or Discrete) based on data type.
IGN-14841: Internal Historian (Legacy) does not display annotations in Power Chart after upgrade from 8.1 to 8.3
Fixed an issue where Internal Historian (Legacy) annotations created in 8.1 or prior would not render in the Power Chart after upgrading to 8.3.

IGN-14782: Edge sync queries are slow in 8.3
Improved Edge Historian sync performance by optimizing tag definition queries that were causing expensive temporary B-Tree operations on large datasets.
