# DurationParameter and other minor changes: Release 1.0.0-RC4

New `DurationParameter` and additional minor changes: Release of 1.0.0-RC4 which can be downloaded on the download page.

While implementing a use case in a Strolch based application it was detected that an essential parameter type was missing, the `DurationParameter`. This parameter currently stores the value as a long in memory and serializes to ISO8601. As soon as we move Strolch to Java8, we will change this to use the `Period` class in the new Java8 date and time API.

In addition to the new parameter, a couple of other changes were made:

- 32c1785 [Major] Added Session timeout handling
- d55371e [Minor] fixed component version descriptions
- c1cdfbb [Bugfix] added missing cloning of StringSetTimedState in Resources
- 8f50a15 [Major] changed XML format of time value of TimedStates to be ISO8601
- 5fbbe50 [Bugfix] fix NPE when cloning Resources with no state vars
- b77f4b2 [New] added TimeVariable.clear()-method
- Updated sub-module ch.eitchnet.utils to 906d24d
- Updated sub-module ch.eitchnet.privilege to aa16887

So, Strolch 1.0.0-RC4 is out the door, go ahead and try it out.
