What's New in 7.1.3?
Version 7.1.3 is a Patch release that includes a number of enhancements and bug fixes.
-
Technology
- Updated to latest code libraries for performance and security vulnerabilities.
-
Features
- Added raw data query capability to the Excel Data Source.
- Added the ability to request transport compression to the Flow API.
- Added the ability to add an image to a Dashboard Navigation component.
- Added Topic and Payload properties to the Measure level for the MQTT Data Consumer.
- Added a new Data Source to access data from the new Timebase Historian.
- Added a "Show in Model" link to limit value configuration that is linked to another measure.
- Added ability to display limit ranges on time-based table.
- Added the ability to sort instantiated template metrics in chart sections.
- Added additional Data Engine logs to support troubleshooting when required.
-
Bug Fixes
- Refactored the way SQL-type Consumer queries are handled to prevent SQL injection and to resolve an issue with comments or attributes that contain single quotes. Note: There are known issues with the replacement of placeholders for EventAttributes, and the possibility that user queries contain parameters with names that conflict with the internally generated parameter names. If you experience either of these issues, please reach out to Flow Support for a hotfix module (this module will be officially released with the next Flow version).
- Fixed an issue where the Integration Engine was pushing the incorrect Measure Event Period values.
- Fixed an issue where Measure Attributes were not being set correctly during a Template update.
- Fixed an issue where Measure Limits were linked to incorrect Template during instantiation.
- Fixed an issue where the new Canary v24 Datasource did not handle custom expressions.
- Fixed an issue where the new Canary v24 Datasource would not reuse connections.
- Fixed an issue where the Aggregation property on measures reset to Average during migration of the Canary Data Source to the Canary v24 Data Source.
- Fixed an issue with the display of model attribute values in a time-based table.
- Fixed an issue with the creation of a new Flow Database on Azure SQL.
- Fixed an issue with the incorrect ordering of folders after template instantiation.
- Fixed an issue where the Dashboard index treeview stopped rendering in certain conditions.
-
Deprecated
- All legacy SQL views have been marked for deprecation.
- All real-time Data Sources (e.g. MQTT, OPC UA, etc.) have been marked for deprecation. We recommend customers start migrating their real-time Data Sources to the new Timebase Historian and the new Timebase Historian Data Source.
