| <text>An overview on the new and noteworthy features of Eclipse 4diac. |
| <ul> |
| <li>4diac IDE: |
| <ul> |
| <li>System file content is shown in one single editor with bread-crumb navigation</li> |
| <li>The infinite drawing canvas was replaced by an incremental growing canvas. This gives better feedback on the size of the network or ECC.</li> |
| <li>Possibility of expanding subapps for showing subapp content in-line with its parent</li> |
| <li>Inside untyped subapps the subapp's comment is shown at the top of the editing area</li> |
| <li>Typed subapps can now contain untyped subapps</li> |
| <li>The content of typed subapps can be watched as part of the instance similar to a composite fb in a dedicated viewer</li> |
| <li>Parse errors are shown as errors in the problem view which is added to the system perspective</li> |
| <li>A default CMakeList.txt file can be generated during export</li> |
| <li>Reworked simulated device manager to better show currently running simulated devices</li> |
| <li>Implicit upcast are now allowed during connection creation (e.g., INT to DINT)</li> |
| <li>Transition conditions can now directly be edited in ECC graphics</li> |
| <li>A struct can be created by selecting several interface elements of a subapp</li> |
| <li>Many bug fixes and smaller improvements: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Text labels in diagrams are not cut off any more</li> |
| <li>Boot-file and FM generation is again available</li> |
| <li>Improved automatic layout generation</li> |
| <li>Modernized function block appearance with a drop shadow</li> |
| <li>Several issues in the type library leading to broken projects and FBs</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>4diac FORTE: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Improved timer handler to use less resources, which should lead to less jitter</li> |
| <li>CMake modules have now an option to be enabled per default</li> |
| <li>Several compile/portabilty issues where fixed: Modbus, Windows XP, ming64, Piface</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |

| <text> We are proud to announce the fourth maintenance release for 4diac 1.8 providing a set of bug fixes to 4diac IDE, and forte. As always please download, test, and report problems and bugs. The main changes are in 4diac IDE: added first version of adapter tutorial; property sheet to create connection from 2 selected interface elements; set border color of adapters (fb-networks) to adapter connection color; fix pasting of elements when something is selected; fix mapping menu generation such that at least one function block or subapplication has to be selected; fix for better handling wrong mgr_ID; improved string replacement in virtualDNS; error message dialog to inform the user if killing the device worked and for online start of function blocks; made event connection creation more robust against broken connection parts; improved output if the management command could not be formated; not opening function block types when more then one element is selected; redesign the layout of the FBTest editor; profile saving for system files has been added in order to allow an easy migration from 1.8.x projects to the upcoming 4diac versions; reenabled untyped subapp mapping for testing purposes; order of the menu entries and their names have been changed to better follow the classical workflow; fixed 16 issues reported by AERI and for forte: fix for forcing of values; reworked and fixed issues on the sysfs IOs for Linux based sysems (e.g., RaspberryPI, BeagleBoneBlack); fixed issue in for support external source directories. |

| <text> the third maintenance release for 4diac 1.8 providing a set of bug fixes to 4diac IDE, and FORTE. As always please download, test, and report problems and bugs. Attention: Because of build issues we had to change the name of thread.h to forte_thread.h and from sycn.h to forte_sync.h. If you have your own FORTE extensions using these you need to adjust the include statements accordingly. The main changes are: 4diac IDE: The values and the yellow box of monitored elements are now transperent allowing to see connections below them; Improved ST code generation Removed interface groups in FB outlines and reworked icons for the interface elements; Improved FAQs and MQTT documentation; 12 stability fixes identified through the automatic error reporting infrastructure FORTE: Fixed issue in MQTT initialization and for using MQTT on Windows; Fixed names of the thread and sync include files to solve compiliation issues with some libraries (e.g., Eclipse Paho); Added new CMake option for allowing modules to be outside of the FORTE build tree |

All in all this release incorporates the fixes and implementations of more than 84 issues! Additionally we enhanced the support for the generic data types (i.e., ANY_INT, ANY_ELEMENTARY, etc.). The biggest news though is definitely that the 4diac framework now support all of the IEC 61131-3 Functions and Function Blocks as IEC 61499 Function Blocks. Of course the IEC 61131-3 Functions are also available for use in Structured Text algorithms!</text> |
