2480 RequirementImproved the Linked Picture screen object to include support for EnhancedMetafiles (EMF).
2481 RequirementImproved the driver toolkit to provide an interface for sending alarm/eventmessages.
2498 Requirement
Enhanced the run‐ me graphics to apply an ‐aliasing to shapes, bu ons, andtext, and to prevent alias effects when zooming a screen. These enhancementscan be enabled or disabled (Project Se ngs > Viewer > Enable EnhancedGraphics) as needed for run‐ me performance. New projects will have theenhancements enabled by default; projects upgraded from previous versions willhave the enhancements disabled by default. These enhancements are notsupported on Windows Embedded.

3045 Requirement
Improved how the Transla on Table feature handles alarm/event messages thatinclude tags in curly brackets (e.g., "ALARM: The current value is {MyTag}!").Previously, the value of the tag was retrieved and stored with themessage BEFORE the message was translated, so you would need to provide aseparate transla on for each possible value of the tag. Now, the value of the tagis retrieved AFTER the message is translated, so you only need to provide atransla on for the text other than the tag. For more informa on, see thedocumenta on.
3070 Requirement
Modified the Ac veX control ISSymbol.ocx (i.e., the Web Thin Client) so that it canbe used to invoke Javascript from the web page that contains it during run me.To do this, use the built‐in scrip ng func on ExecuteCustomCall to trigger theevent OnCustomCall on the control, and in turn, the event OnCustomCall willinvoke the specified Javascript from the web page. Please note that this featuredoes not work in projects running on Windows Embedded. For more informa on,see the documenta on.
595 Change Request
Improved the Linked Picture screen object to allow you to set a transparent color,through which the screen background and/or other screen objects placed behindthe picture will be visible. To set the transparent color, either use the "tracker"tool to select the color in the picture or specify a color code via tag/expression. Ifyou do the la er, then you may change the color code ‐‐ and therefore thetransparent color ‐‐ during run me. See also item 2058.
6 of 37
897 Change Request
Modified the Alarm/Event Control screen object to add an op on to disable theoperator's ability to acknowledge an alarm by double‐clicking (or double‐tapping)the alarm message. This op on may be used, for example, either to forcethe operator to click another bu on to acknowledge the alarm or to preventalarms from being acknowledged on thin clients.
2214 Change RequestModified the Tag Integra on feature to allow the crea on of array tags withoutthe trailing underscore (e.g., MyTag_1 instead of MyTag_1_).
2276 Change RequestAdded support for more languages (e.g., Chinese, French, Japanese) on the virtualkeyboard.
2279 Change Request
Implemented an op on to automa cally convert pasted bitmap images intoLinked Picture objects and then save the images as separate files in the projectfolder. This should improve the project's download size and run‐ meperformance. Previously, when you pasted a bitmap image into a project screen,it was placed as a Bitmap object and the en re image was embedded in thescreen file. See also items 1802, 2062, 2967, 3067.
2294 Change Request
Modified the development environment to no fy you when your projectis configured for Windows Embedded target systems and you create a shape witha Fill Effect. Fill Effects are not supported on Windows Embedded. See also item2654.

Improved alarms and events to allow custom fields. For alarms, the custom fieldscan be configured in the Alarm worksheet. For events, the custom fields can beconfigured in the SendEvent func on. The number of custom fields canbe specified in the project se ngs (Project Se ngs > Op ons > Alarm History andEvents). This feature does not work in projects running on Windows Embedded.
2535 Change RequestModified the Collabora on feature to properly update the Project Explorer in thedevelopment environment and generally improve the user experience. See alsoissue 2600.
2554 Change RequestUpdated the ControlLogix / RSLogix 5000 tag integra on to support L5K filesgenerated by RSLogix 5000 V20.
2559 Change RequestModified the Tag Integra on feature to automa cally sync the tag list, so that itdoes not need to be reloaded every me you open the Object Finder.
2576 Change RequestModified the error message that is displayed when an invalid array index isspecified. The message now clearly states the problem is the array index, ratherthan saying only that it is an invalid tag.
2598 Change RequestModified the Verify Project command to avoid showing message boxes whenevalua ng invalid files. The error messages are now shown in the Output window.
2600 Change RequestModified the Collabora on feature to cache the status of files in source control
7 of 37
and increase overall performance. See also item 2535.
2607 Change RequestImproved the method used to save and retrieve historical data, so that data fromdevices in different me zones can be collated on a central server and thendisplayed again to thin clients. See also items 2789 and 2908.
2610 Change RequestImproved the Alarm/Event Control screen object to allow specified alarmmessages to blink. This feature does not work in projects running on WindowsEmbedded. See also item 2164 in a previous release.
2611 Change Request
Improved the built‐in scrip ng func on Open so that when you use it to open ascreen that contains Linked Symbols, you can specify an external mnemonics filethat will be used to set the custom values on those Linked Symbols. This providesmore flexibility than simply declaring the mnemonics within the func on. See alsoitem 2873.
2615 Change RequestImproved the "IndTreeView" Ac veX control to add themethod SetBackgroundColor, which allows you to set the background color of thetreeview. See also item 2616.
2616 Change RequestImproved the "IndTreeView" Ac veX control to add the method ChangeIcon,which allows you to change icons on nodes without reloading the en re treeview.See also item 2615.
2618 Change RequestAdded the built‐in scrip ng func on Transla onLoad, which can be used to loadaddi onal transla on files and append them to (rather than replace) the currenttransla on file.
2639 Change Request Corrected the window tle(s) for the Import Tool for PanelMate.
2677 Change Request
Improved the Alarm/Event Control screen object to display labels in the Prioritycolumn, instead of the numbers only. The labels may be customized by manuallyedi ng the project file (projectname.APP). For more informa on, see thedocumenta on.
2684 Change RequestModified the status bar (at the bo om of the development environment) todisplay the correct line and column numbers when you are working in a VBScriptinterface. See also item 2683.
2686 Change Request
Modified the process for downloading project files to a target device so that if anerror occurs while downloading, the error message includes the file path on thetarget device. This should make it easier to troubleshoot the error (for example,to make sure the file path is valid).
2687 Change Request
Changed the default behavior of file caching on thin clients, so thatdownloaded project files are checked against the server and then cached. Thisshould improve run‐ me performance and prevent thin clients from downloadingunnecessary files. See also item 2570 in a previous release.
2694 Change Request
Modified the project security system to manage both engineering and run‐ meusers in the same interface. Also, removed ExtUser.dll and ExtUser.exe fromthe installa on and then removed all references to those files from thedocumenta on.

2708 Change Request Corrected the name of a file in the installa on.
2715 Change RequestImproved the Smart Message screen object to support condi onal expressions foreach state, rather than only tag values or plain text.
2725 Change Request
Modified the Remote Management tool to display a warning that the contents ofthe selected folder on the target device will be deleted before the project files aredownloaded to the device. The warning is displayed only if the selected folder isnot empty, and it is to prevent you from accidentally dele ng cri cal system fileson the target device.
2733 Change RequestUpdated the applica on's XML support to use Microso XML Core Services(MSXML) version 6.0. See also item 2821.
2739 Change RequestUpdated the product installa on procedure to use the C# executables instead ofthe InstallShield script.

2752 Change RequestImproved the alert message that is displayed when you choose to delete a projecttag.
2753 Change Request
Modified the development environment so that the graphics tools (e.g., Shapes,Ac ve Objects, Data Objects) are disabled while you are se ng the tab order ofexis ng objects in a screen. Previously, the tools remained enabled even thoughyou could not actually create new objects in that screen.
2760 Change RequestModified the development environment so that if you press Esc while the ObjectProper es dialog is open and ac ve, then the dialog is closed.
2764 Change RequestImproved the Rota on anima on to support frac ons of degrees. Morespecifically, the degrees of rota on may now be expressed as a real number,whereas before they could only be expressed as an integer.
2787 Change RequestImproved the OPC UA Client task worksheet, included an op on to change thesampling rate.
2791 Change RequestModified the OPC DA 2.05 Client task to properly write values with up to20 decimal places. Previously, the task could only write values with up to 6decimal places.

9 of 37
2823 Change Request
Modified the Database Gateway (StADOSvr) to use an updated me stampwhen saving data to Microso SQL Server databases, so that milliseconds do notneed to be stored in a separate column. Please note that this only works withMicroso SQL Server 2008 or later; if you are using an earlier version of SQLServer, then you must edit the program se ngs to reverse the change. For moreinforma on, see the documenta on. See also items 2890, 2913, 2914.
2836 Change Request
Modified the way that product licenses are counted so that you need only onelicense for each computer logged onto the project, even if a computer is runningmul ple instances of the client so ware. Previously, you needed a license foreach instance.
2841 Change RequestReviewed how encryp on is used in the product, to try to resolve issues that maybe caused by unini alized variables (for example, the commonly seen "Invalidtagl.bin" error).
2844 Change Request
Modified the OPC UA Client's item browser to make it more responsive when theOPC UA Server cannot communicate with target devices. Previously, if the OPCServer could not communicate with the devices, then the OPC UA Client wouldalso slow down and become unusable. See also items 2844‐2849.
2845 Change RequestModified the OPC UA Client's meout se ngs to provide more op ons in case theOPC UA Server becomes unresponsive. See also items 2844‐2849.

2847 Change RequestModified the Reload Trigger op on on the OPC UA, OPC .Net, and OPC XML/DAworksheets to be reset to 0 when the reload is completed. See also items2844‐2849.
2848 Change RequestModified the OPC UA Client to generate a detailed log file, which can be used totroubleshoot communica on with the OPC UA Server. See also items 2844‐2849.
2849 Change Request
Modified the OPC UA Client to avoid reading/wri ng invalid items (i.e., item nameand node ID are empty) on the server. A log message will be displayed when aninvalid item is selected and added to the client worksheet, but future read/writeopera ons will not generate any more messages. See also items 2678, 2844‐2849,3047.
2857 Change RequestImproved the Tag Integra on feature to allow you to remove tags directly fromthe Shared Database worksheet.
2868 Change RequestModified the nightly build process to sign the .Net assemblies that are used in theproduct, which should ensure the authen city of the assemblies. For internal useonly.

2888 Change RequestImproved the Object Finder so that you may select and import mul ple tags froma tag integra on source. Previously, you had to select and import tags one at ame.
10 of 37
2890 Change Request
Resolved an issue with the Database Gateway (StADOSvr) where, if youconfigured a database to store historical data and the database was notaccessible, then the resul ng meouts might stack up and cause the projectrun me to freeze. See also items 2823, 2913, 2914.
2894 Change RequestModified the Alarms task to change the way that it queries for alarms during runme, which should prevent conflicts with other clients and improve run‐ me
performance.
2896 Change RequestModified the data objects (i.e., Alarm/Event, Trend, and Grid) to run their queriesin separate threads on the project server, to make sure that the project viewerwill not freeze while wai ng on long query opera ons.
2954 Change Request
Implemented an op on to disable the priori za on of project clients. By default,project clients are priori zed in the order that they connect to the project server,with the first typically being the local viewer. The higher priority that a client has,the more quickly the server will respond to its requests and the be er it willperform during run me. If you disable priori za on, then the server will respondto all requests in the order that they are received. For more informa on aboutthis op on, contact Support.
2979 Change Request
Modified the TCP/IP Client worksheet to add the op on "Send Values OnConnec on". When this op on is selected and the project is run, the client willignore the first tag values that it receives from the server and instead send itsown tag values to the server.
2992 Change RequestAdded support to parameters of AOIs (Add‐On Instrunc ons) for RSLogix5000 TagIntegra on
2995 Change Request Update OPC XML/DA to use the API from the OPC Founda on
3015 Change Request
Modified the Min/Max feature of tags to provide more op ons for how to handletag values that are out of range. To change how they are handled, manually edityour project file (projectname.APP) and adjust the se ngs WriteOutOfRange andCapOutOfRange. For more informa on about these se ngs and how they work incombina on, see the documenta on.
3039 Change RequestReapproved the built‐in scrip ng func on Wait and added it to both the ObjectFinder and VBScript Intellisense. The func on had been deprecated in a previousrelease, but it was not removed from the documenta on.
3042 Change Request Added localiza on for the Full Integra on SDK components
3044 Change Request Improved the internal structure of the Tag Integra on feature.
3049 Change RequestChanged how run me threads are named in dump files to make it easier toanalyze them.
3067 Change RequestImproved the Linked Picture screen object so that you may link to image files insub‐folders (e.g., Web\Folder1\MyPicture.jpg). Previously, you could only link toimage files in your project's Web folder. See also items 2279 and 2967.
3082 Change RequestModified the CloseConnec on op on to generate text‐only log files instead ofcomplete dump files when the run‐ me client's connec on to the server is
11 of 37
closed. This resolves an issue where genera ng dump files caused the system tofreeze in certain situa ons. See also item 2770 in a previous release.
3085 Change Request
Modified the database interface to automa cally index alarm and event tables byevent me.
