## Release of Strolch 1.6.100
|
|
|
|
The 100. Strolch release of the 1.6 branch and a brand new website!
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Ok, so Maven doesn't exactly have 100 releases on it, but even though we have
|
|
been quiet on public releases, Strolch has seen many refactorings, fixes, new
|
|
features etc. over the past three years of its last release.
|
|
|
|
Some notable changes:
|
|
* I18n Support for StrolchExceptions.
|
|
* Better performance for reports on large joins.
|
|
* Move to JDK 11+.
|
|
* Refactoring to use of Java 9 LocalDateTime and ZonedDateTime where applicable.
|
|
* Added Controllers for better execution handling.
|
|
* Significantly simplified the methods to change the model.
|
|
* Simpler methods to retrieve relationship entities.
|
|
* Updated most libraries to their latest versions.
|
|
* Added a DataArchiveHandler to archive entities.
|
|
* Added require password change feature, and storing of login and password change history
|
|
* LDAP integration
|
|
* Added session keep alive
|
|
* Search expression simplifications
|
|
* New TextParameter for when persisting large values with whitespace and special characters
|
|
* Basic Auth for REST APIs, if no UI needed for scripting
|
|
* Many additional fixes, tweaks and helper functions
|
|
|
|
Another new addition to the Strolch family is [Strolch PLC](/plc). The Strolch
|
|
PLC code allows one to use the same model but on a device acting as a soft PLC,
|
|
e.g. a Raspberry Pi. This PLC code can then communicate using WebSockets with a
|
|
Strolch instance, having quite seamless interaction with Activities which really
|
|
shows the potential of using Strolch's model in the shop floor.
|
|
|
|
We've been running the Strolch PLC in a mission critical shop floor application
|
|
to control conveyors which are filled by a dispensing robot.
|
|
|
|
So, Strolch 1.6.100 is out the door, go ahead and [try it out](/development).
