• Before you upgrade. This release migrates the historian and tightens a few naming and API rules.
  • On the first start after upgrading, the historian is rebuilt behind a Database migration in progress page. The engine stays down and the API returns 503 until it completes. Allow roughly 35 seconds per 1.5 GB of historian, and up to an hour for the index rebuild on a very large historian. The migration needs 10% of the historian file size in free disk space (at least 256 MB) and is refused up front if that is not available. It can be interrupted and resumes where it stopped.
  • Variable, device, UDT instance, asset and recipe parameter names may no longer contain a hyphen or a #. Existing projects keep running, but a name containing either character is refused the next time that row is saved. Rename them at your convenience.
  • Runtime API: the separate Device field has been removed from the read and write variable requests. Pass the full variable name in Variable.
  • Design API: GET /API/Design/Objects now returns a summary list, and the per-object read is replaced by GET /API/Design/Objects/Details with an objectIds list.
  • Design API: attribute values are validated when written. A value that used to be accepted and then failed at runtime, such as a data-actions object where an array is expected, is now refused at save with a message naming the fix. Existing pages are not affected.
  • The recipe field is called RecipeTargets everywhere in the API, MCP and exports. Existing recipes keep working and older project exports still import.
  • Python scripts: while True: and while 1: are refused when the script is saved. Use Schedules for repeated execution. SetValue with a boolean now stores 0 or 1.
• Variable names are now free form.
  • A name is stored and used exactly as written. The {Device} replacer is optional and resolves to the owning device.
  • Use {Device} when several devices share an identical variable set that would otherwise collide. A literal name stays as it is when the device is renamed, while a name using {Device} follows the rename.
  • Local variable names are unrestricted, and a name without a dot such as Counter is valid.
  • A resolved name must be unique across the whole project.
  • Variables can now be arrays.
• New Asset Manager and User Defined Types, to define a piece of equipment once and roll it out across the project.
  • Asset Manager is the entry point for both the asset tree and the type library. Build a hierarchical asset tree and drag nodes to re-parent them.
  • Define a type under UDT Definitions, on the Parameters, Variables, Alarms, Events, Scripts, Slots and Symbol tabs.
  • A type can inherit from a Base type and contain other types through Slots. Members can be conditional with Include when, and can be arrays using Array size and First index.
  • Create instances one at a time, or many at once with Create multiple using Count, Start at and Zero-pad. One instance can span several devices.
  • Nothing in the project changes until you push. Push preview lists exactly what will be created or changed per instance, asks for a Reason, and can Adopt existing rows with matching names.
  • Per field, Override releases a single field on a single instance so it can differ from the definition without detaching the instance.
  • Bind a group symbol to a type, then place it with Place on page or by dragging the instance onto the page.
  • Export and import whole types, individual tabs as JSON or CSV, and single instances.
  • Cross Reference searches UDT templates as well, and marks rows that are managed by a definition.
  • The whole lifecycle is available over the configuration API and MCP.
• New Report Designer for graphical reports, on the new Reports configuration page [BETA].
  • Build a report from Header, Text, KPI row, Trend chart, Table, Image, Alarm list, Event list, Columns, Spacer and Page footer components.
  • A Table reads from Project SQLite, Historian, Alarms or Events.
  • Banded or Free canvas layout, A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape, with Design, Preview, Output and Script views and undo/redo in the designer.
  • The reporting period is a preset (yesterday, today, last 24 hours, last 7 days, last 30 days, this month, last month) or comes from variables.
  • Reports render to PDF, and additionally to .xlsx when Excel compatible is enabled for a banded report.
  • Run a report from the Execute Report page action, a schedule, an alarm or event action, Python RunReport(), MCP, or Execute now on the Reports page.
  • Per report, User Groups controls who may run it from a page. Left empty, only Administrators can.
  • Python SendEmail() can mail a report that a script just produced.
  • Rendered files are kept until you remove them. There is no automatic retention yet.
• New Document Viewer object, and five product pages that can now be embedded on a page.
  • Document Viewer shows a rendered report or a project document inline, as PDF, PNG, JPG, GIF or TXT. Access is granted per user group under Document viewer access in Parameters.
  • Alarm Viewer, Event Viewer, Audit Trail Viewer, Trend Analyst and Users can be placed directly on a page as objects.
  • A DropDown or ListBox can list a folder, so an operator picks a rendered report instead of typing a path.
• Added 21 CFR Part 11 support for regulated installations.
  • New Part 11 Compliance (21 CFR) section in Parameters with Enable Part 11 Compliance Mode, off by default. It disables Guest login, disables deletion of historic alarms and events, enforces electronic signatures and applies a mandatory password expiry.
  • New Audit Trail Viewer page. Records are append-only and hash chained, and cover configuration and runtime changes made from the interface, the API, MCP and Git. Verify Chain reports whether the chain is intact.
  • Electronic signatures ask for user name, password, Meaning and Comment, and are recorded against the audited action.
  • Signature Required Actions selects which actions need a signature, from Config.Save, User.Edit, Recipe.Download, Variable.Write, Alarm.Ack and Project.Import. Disabling compliance mode always requires one.
  • New Audit Trail View Right per user group.
  • The audit trail records regardless of whether compliance mode is enabled.
• EnvisionSCADA can now act as an MQTT broker.
  • New MQTT Broker section in Parameters with the port, Enable TLS (MQTTS) and TLS port, a certificate, Allow anonymous connections and Enforce topic access control.
  • MQTT broker users are managed in their own dialog with credentials and Topic access control rules per user, each rule combining a Topic filter with the allowed access. A topic that matches no rule is refused. Rules can be imported and exported.
  • New MQTT broker log page showing live broker activity, with Pause, Clear, Export and Connected Clients.
• Added two device drivers.
  • EtherNet/IP Generic [BETA], using CIP explicit messaging addressed by class, instance and attribute. It is a separate driver next to the existing Ethernet/IP tag-based driver, which is unchanged.
  • Beckhoff ADS [BETA] for TwinCAT 2 and 3, addressed by PLC symbol path or by index group and offset.
  • The Ethernet/IP tag-based driver received write, PLC type validation and connection status fixes.
• New Map object to show equipment on a geographic map.
  • Map Style offers Street, Terrain, Light, Dark, Humanitarian and Satellite, with an optional Lock View (runtime).
  • Edit Map Children places group symbols on the map, positioned by a single variable holding latitude and longitude, or by separate Latitude and Longitude values.
  • Min Scale and Max Scale let symbols grow and shrink with the zoom level instead of stacking.
  • Dragging a group symbol instance onto a map adopts it, after which its asset or coordinates position it.
• New SVG Editor for preparing symbols.
  • Open it by right-clicking an image in the library, or with Open in SVG Editor on the object.
  • Paint slots list every fill and stroke in the drawing, and each one is set to Runtime, so it follows the object color states, or Static, so it keeps its own color. An outline can stay black while the body animates.
  • Readiness and Prep for library check a symbol before it goes into a library, and the preview shows it against a checker background and against light and dark themes.
  • All 321 symbols in the 1 P&ID library were cleaned up so they scale correctly when placed. Their colors are unchanged.
• The Color Library now holds multiple themes.
  • Add, Rename, Delete a theme and mark one as Default. Every theme carries the same color names, so only the values differ.
  • The Select Theme object action switches theme per client. The choice survives a reload and is available as client.SelectedTheme.
  • The page background, the Login, Viewer, Numpad and Keyboard colors, the alarm state colors and the Trend Analyst pens now accept a color name from the library, so they follow a theme change.
• Renaming something now offers to rewire the places that still name it.
  • Applies to a variable, device, Python script, converter, page, report and user group, from every screen that can rename, including the Asset Manager and a UDT push that renames materialized rows.
  • Saving a rename answers with what still uses the old name: page objects, alarm and event conditions and messages, Python scripts, schedules, converter expressions, report templates, UDT definition members and UDT instance parameters.
  • Every place found carries a tick box, ticked by default, with a search over Type, Location and Context and the matched name marked in the Context column, so a name used as prose in an alarm message or a comment can be left alone. The button reports how many places will be updated, and the result and the audit record state what was deliberately left unchanged.
  • Keeping the old references is a valid answer, for example when a variable is renamed so the existing references point at a different one. The references can also be reviewed in Cross Reference first.
  • Matching is on the whole reference, so renaming Flow1 leaves Flow10 alone. A user group rename also updates the User Groups lists on variables, pages, scripts, reports and UDT members, the user memberships, and page objects that test SYSTEM.UserGroups.
  • Historian samples keep the name that was in force when they were recorded and are never rewritten.
  • The preview and the apply are available over the configuration API and MCP, the preview writing nothing.
• An alarm or event whose condition cannot be evaluated is now reported instead of staying silent.
  • The System Log Viewer names the alarm, the problem and the condition, so the missing variable can be found and fixed, and reports a recovery line once the condition works again.
  • A mass failure, such as one bad push or a device whose variables were removed, is reported in batches with an outstanding count rather than being swallowed.
• The configuration and designer screens are now fully translated.
  • The remaining English text was added to the Edit Mode translations, including the certificate and CA generators, License, System Log Viewer, the Envision toolbar and the object context menus, the Python editor, the Report Designer, the AI chat sidebar, the MCP OAuth, AI chat and OPC UA blocks in Parameters, and the device help text.
  • The data grid header, filters and paging on the runtime viewers follow the operator language.
  • Accented and non-Latin characters no longer appear as character codes in dialogs, confirmations and tooltips.
• Added a Simulation mode per device.
  • Available on Modbus TCP, OPC UA, Ethernet/IP, EtherNet/IP Generic, S7, DNP3, BACnet, IEC104 and MELSEC devices.
  • A simulated device makes no connection. Its variables read and write in memory like Local variables and report Good, and the device reports Simulation as its state. Values are not retained across a restart.
• IEC 104 commands now have a per point Command Mode.
  • Direct execute, Select before operate, and Select before operate (operator).
  • The operator mode gives the page three actions, Select Command, Execute Command and Cancel Selection, so a selection can be reviewed before it is executed and released if it is not. A device level Command Select Timeout bounds it.
  • Commands are reported only once the device confirms them.
• Added a Restart Device action, available on a button, an alarm, an event, a schedule, from Python and over the API, so a single device can be restarted without restarting the server.
• Added dual-LAN path redundancy for the primary and standby link.
  • Each participant can carry a second IP address on a separate network. The heartbeat probes both paths and synchronization follows the one that is up, so a single failed cable or switch no longer interrupts it or forces a role change.
  • The Certificate Generator accepts the second IP address so one certificate covers both paths.
• OPC UA Browse is now an expandable tree of the server address space, with Expand All, Search, Update Node IDs and Add Selected.
• Polylines can show arrowheads and crossing bridges, and objects can rotate continuously.
  • Arrow Start and Arrow End offer None, Arrow and Open Arrow, with an Arrow Size.
  • Bridge Crossings draws a small hop where a polyline crosses another one it is drawn over.
  • Rotate Continuously, with Rotation Speed and Rotation Direction, is available on SVG, Image, Label, Square, Circle and Polygon objects.
• Performance improvements.
  • Trend objects redraw only when their data changes, which is noticeable on pages carrying many trends.
  • Python scripts no longer hold the interpreter while waiting for device reads and writes, so scripts no longer block each other during device access.
  • The historian is no longer integrity checked at startup, which could take hours on a large database and prevented the server from coming up.
  • Historian indexes that could not be used were removed and the remaining ones slimmed.
• Configuration API, Design API and MCP improvements.
  • Create or update a batch of design objects in a single page save, with consistent arguments and partial updates.
  • Online and Offline project files can be listed, uploaded and downloaded over the configuration API and MCP.
  • Alarm actions are available over the runtime API and MCP, gated by user rights.
  • Signature-gated actions can be driven over MCP by passing a signature token.
  • Optional OAuth 2.0 for MCP, off by default, configured in Parameters.
  • Design API: attribute values are validated against the published rules when they are written, so a malformed value is refused at save instead of failing when an operator clicks the object.
  • Design API: polyline and polygon geometry can be read back, and a polyline created over the API draws the line style and cap it was given.
  • Design API: the object metadata states the minimum frame width for the viewer objects and the Document Viewer.
• Python improvements.
  • SendEmail() sends mail with attachments, and RunReport() renders a report.
  • Output from a manual execution is captured per run, and files a script produced are listed for preview.
• Security release. See the Security Advisories page for details.
  • An installed build now always runs as Production, so a Development environment setting on the server can no longer expose error detail (ESA-2026-006).
• Interface improvements.
  • Text alignment is now available on the input, button, picker, dropdown and list box objects, not only on the label.
  • A label can drive conditional colors on its background as well as its text.
  • Alarm banners, data tables, dropdowns and list boxes take their configured colors at runtime.
  • The variable picker is offered wherever a variable name is typed.
  • Copying a group symbol gives the copy its own name instead of appending to the previous one.
  • A new push dialog shows the replacer matrix when pushing a group symbol to its instances.
  • Polyline and polygon points follow the cursor at any zoom level and land on the page grid.
  • A popup opened with a Popup Context closes the popups already open in that context, also when the context comes from a group symbol replacer.
  • An empty value can be written to a variable from the Set Value dialog, and a value that is not a number reports why instead of closing without writing.
  • A Read Only label with no actions of its own passes clicks through to the object behind it, so a label over a button no longer blocks that button.
  • Importing alarms or events keeps a standing alarm standing, instead of displacing it and raising it again as a new occurrence with a fresh time and an extra alarm count.
  • The trend property window follows the page theme instead of always being a white panel.
  • An unexpected error now shows a branded page with a reference number for support instead of a developer message.
• Minor bug fixes and GUI improvements.
