Version 8.9 - 19 June 2020

What’s new

  • Adding a Device will automatically create an unique device ID for it instead of leaving it to 0. [ref 21256]
    A maximum of 256 devices are supported so the ID will range from 0 to 255.
    This saves the user from needing to manually allocate ID’s to their devices and can still be changed.

    Please also note that projects saved in previous versions can contain devices with same ID (no validation was done before), in that case, after loading, some errors will be displayed and IDs will be automatically assigned to be unique:

  • Script comparison during Merge can now be done using an external compare tool. [ref 20964]

    To activate this, go to the application settings (File->Settings->Advanced) and select the external to use for comparing scripts.

    When in the Merge or Compare window, right click the script and select the ‘Compare with [your tool]’ menu to launch the external tool with the scripts loaded.

  • The Path component properties now allow all path sections to be edited. [JIRA Sym3-280] [ref 17785]
