openSCADA Project

This version has a working editor for the CA system, including a form-based editor for some of the configuration factories. The project "Dakara" contains the new visualization features, and the application "OSVI" bundles this to a read to run application that only requires the configuration to be installed using the Eclipse P2 update system. For Windows, a specific "ready to run" MSI driver package has been added. The arduino protocol was enhanced and cleaned up. Many bugfixes, performance enhancements, and cleanups have been made.

This release features lots of minor fixes in all areas. All modules were updated to compile with Java 6, which is now the default. All builds have been upgraded to use Eclipse 3.6.1 modules. A new WAR file of mass configuration was added, which allows system integrators to create configurations using spreadsheet based input. The login system introduced in OpenSCADA 0.15.0 was extended to let other implementations join the login session and the lifecycle of the session. The user logs in using one dialog and all implementations are connected at the same time.

This release has many new features and enhancements to existing functionality. The interfaces and the reference implementation were cleaned up a little bit. The new upstream version of Utgard was added.

Beside lots of minor changes, fixes, and
improvements, the major enhancements in this
release are a new communicator adapter based on
the ICE framework, a generalized client interface
which is independent of connector implementations,
and an adapter which can connect to OPC DA
servers.

An initial version of the alarms and events (AE)
functionality was added. Together with that, two
new perspectives were added to the RCP
application. The Eclipse Welcome System is used
for introducing the changes. A new realtime list
view was added to the DA perspective. Numerous
things in the background were improved.
