Yes, I am looking forward to this update 
I really want to stop moving symbolically addressed tags into non-optimized DB's .... Spoiled from AB....

Any chance this new driver could be available in the future for the 8.1 branch too ?
I don't know, I wouldn't count on it. At this point I can't even say the driver is a sure thing. We haven't managed to come to an agreement over licensing and actually buy the damn library yet.

Licensing is taken care of, this new driver should be part of Ignition 8.3.

Thanks for the update looking forward
Are you also planning redundant plc support ? I see the library does support it. If not, please consider this as a feature request for both redundant 400 and 1500 cpu's
How far off is that driver and 8.3 ?
Ignition 8.3 will be early 2025.

Thanks for the immediate response. I had my fingers crossed for a pre xmas release. 
I do have another suggestion(/issue) for your product.
The Piping tool:
There is a problem with the DOM. Tag binding to the pipes is attached to the index of the array. That means if a pipe is deleted in the middle of the array, then the binding attach to different pipes!
"root": {
…….
"props": {
"pipes": [
{
"appearance": "auto",
"end": "none",
"fill": "",
"flanges": true,
"lineVariant": "solid",
"name": "pipe_0",
"origin": {
"connections": [
{
"x": 160,
"y": 218
}
],
"x": 311,
"y": 218
},
"start": "none",
"visible": true,
"width": 3
},
{
……..
}
"propConfig": {
"props.pipes[0].stroke": { ß This attaches to the pipe via the ARRAY INDEX!!!! (If a pipe is deleted, then this is not updated. It break’s ALL pipes higher in the array index!)
"binding": {
"config": {
"expression": "{[edge]SVs/SV 061/SV_Open} || {[edge]SVs/SV 063/SV_Open}"
},
"transforms": [
{
"fallback": "#000000",
"inputType": "scalar",
"mappings": [
{
"input": false,
"output": "#808080"
},
{
"input": true,
"output": "#0000FF"
}
],
"outputType": "color",
"type": "map"
}
],
"type": "expr"
}
},
The binding should really be pipe object.
