@github-actions github-actions released this 09 Apr 13:58

This version of the module is a near-complete rewrite to bring new features, improved performance, and support for the
latest SDKs.

Major Changes

  • Updated to Java 11 and Ignition 8.1 SDK
  • Ewon metadata (i.e., tag names, descriptions, data types) is now updated on module startup, and at a configurable
    interval.
    • After module startup, the Ewon metadata is updated in the background at the configured interval.
    • Ewon metadata is now retrieved from the Ewon device directly, using M2Web API requests, instead of relying on the
      DataMailbox API.
  • Added support for buffered tag writes to Ewon devices (i.e., write multiple tags in a single request)
  • Added support for Ewon tag groups to organize tags in Ignition
  • Implemented asynchronous Talk2M/M2Web API requests to improve performance

Minor Changes

  • Improved documentation
  • Improved logging output
  • Implemented stateful authentication for Talk2M/M2Web API requests to reduce connection overhead
  • Resolved a long-standing issue with pre-tag realtime properties being lost
