Release Notes – OCtober 2022

CDP Studio IDE v2.3

New functionality when working with projects on site, added features to

• Backup live (running) systems

• Diff and merge tool to see and cherry-pick configuration changes between the system stored on your PC and the system installed on the actual controllers when fetching or deploying systems
• Deploy and run scripts on the target controller from CDP Studio

Enhanced SW development features

• Resources are now session based, this allows working with different versions of a library in different sessions
• Build all libraries in a project in the correct order according to dependencies with the “Build Dependencies” function
• Build all open projects with the “Build all projects” function
• Build or modify reusable blocks in libraries using the Block Diagram editor
• Now possible to add prefixes to variables in code when adding Signals, Parameters or Alarms

• Support copy/paste between different CDP versions
• Components now have configuration fault alarms that is triggered when some node like Operator has configuration faults
• Recipes can now apply values from Element type property (eg. fs or Debug properties of CDPComponent)

• Fix crash when using search bar in Resource tree and navigating to a different node
• Fix crash when cancelling saving graph data
• Fix build failure when project path contains spaces or unicode characters
