v2.0.0

1 month ago

Hey everyone! I apologize for my limited activity recently. My daily responsibilities have kept me quite busy, leaving me less free time than desired...I've observed that many new issues have emerged from versions 1.1.6 and 1.1.7, and I intend to concentrate on the latest codebase instead of re-directing users to download the continuous release. Wishing all of you the best and thank you for your understanding!

What's Changed

⚠️ You will need to re-generate your project files, it is highly recommended to use the Project Editor instead of editing the JSON code yourself.

  • Use frameless windows for better integration with selected themes.
  • QML optimizations.
  • Fix slow behavior #85.
  • Add support for SSL/TLS for MQTT connections #34.
  • Fix CSV crash when using a modified JSON file #82.
  • Fix data parsing issue #86 and #79.

  • Downgrade to Qt 5 (Qt 6 works, but it still has some issues).
  • Force non-threaded rendering to avoid crashes and high CPU usage.
  • Add more descriptive JSON keys/tags, old JSON maps should be automatically converted without any issues #83.
  • Misc UI bug fixes & improvements.
  • Add new MQTT setup dialog.
  • Cleanup setup panel.
  • Add more thoughtful animations when transitioning between console and dashboard tab.
  • Allow dragging the window when clicking the toolbar.

  • Add integrated downloader for the automatic updater.
  • Add relative scale to multiplot widget datasets (just define min/max for each dataset).

🗒️ Note: this version shall be released with tag 1.1.4 so that continuous users get the update notification. From now on, odd version number releases (such as 1.1.3 or 1.1.5) shall be reserved for development (continuous) releases, and even version number releases shall be reserved for regular/stable builds.

⚠️ Warning: CSV and JSON map files generated with this version will not work with older versions of Serial Studio. Also, if your JSON maps do not define datasets in the same order as the frame fields, you might experience some issues while trying to "play" CSV files generated with previous releases of Serial Studio.
