* Improved the DeviceHub tag browsing experience with better default layouts, clearer columns, and new task controls (including start/stop and delete confirmation) for easier task management. * **Mitsubishi** Added support to **Mitsubishi FX3G Binary Ethernet (Gen1.3)** driver for: - Additional registers: `X`, `Y`, `M`, `T`, `C`, `SM`, `S`, `R`, `SD`, `D`, `CV`, `CV2`, `TV` - String file registers: DSH/DSL and RSH/RSL - bit, word, dword, float, and string types * **ODVA** Improved the **CIP Ethernet** driver’s browsing so that assemblies, such as specific instances in Assembly class 04, are now correctly discovered and accessible. * **OPC UA** Improved **OPC UA Advanced** driver browsing by adding a **Default Root** browse parameter (with a recommended default) and simplifying related device settings. * **Siemens** **Siemens TI505 Ethernet (Gen1.3)** - Extended support for `WX`, `WY`, `C/CR`, `V`, `K`, `TCP/TCC`, `STW`, `DSP/DSC`, `DCP/DCC` registers - Includes .bit and string register variants - Broader address range and data type coverage * **Toyopuc** The **Toyopuc Ethernet Driver** was renamed to **Toyopuc Ethernet.** * The **Toyopuc Ethernet** (renamed ) and **Keyence Nano Ethernet** drivers are improved with expanded device and protocol support. Improvements include: - Array read/write for all register types - Improved byte order and string handling (Unicode and Shift-JIS support) - Multi-point reads and FL-net linking (up to four layers) - New **Max Request Size** setting for performance tuning * Added write response topic support for Allen‑Bradley, Emerson ROC/FB107, Emerson DNP3, Mitsubishi, Modbus, Omron, Siemens, MQTT Client, Generator, and SNMP Manager drivers. * Improved the DeviceHub REST driver so it can correctly parse JSON responses even when the Content-Type header is missing or set to an unknown value. This ensues that array values are read reliably. | | **DataHub:**
* Improved OPC UA Client Advanced browse performance in DataHub. Large address spaces now load significantly faster when discovering nodes. | | **Digital Twins:**
* Added support to export JSON schemas for Digital Twin instances. * Updated the syntax for Digital Twin system variables in transformations and static attributes to use `{EDGE_DT_SYSTEM_TIME}`, `{EDGE_DT_MODEL_VERSION}`, and `{EDGE_DT_MODEL_NAME}`. | | **Analytics:**
* Improved the Analytics processor copy and paste experience in the new Analytics UI. Now you can predictably paste processors where you want on the canvas. * Improved Analytics scripting playground (JavaScript, Tengo, and JSONata) with a full-screen code editor and resizable input and output panels to make it easier to develop scripts. * Enhanced the Analytics Inject processor to support scheduling payload injections at specific times on selected days of the week, enabling more precise and flexible automation. | | **Applications:**
* Images with repository or tag values defined as **\** now display in **Applications** > **Images**. This matches the behavior in Docker and provides you with an accurate view of the number of images in your environment. | | **Integration:**
* Added an optional **Create Topic** setting to the Kafka Gen 2 connector so it can automatically create missing topics when enabled. This matches the behavior previously available in Kafka v1. | | **System:**
* New events are available in **System** > **Events** that capture whether templates are applied successfully, whether backups were successful, and when an edge device reboots. * OIDC-authenticated users are automatically added to the **Viewers** group on first login. You can modify group membership afterward without changing OIDC provider settings. * Manufacturing Connect Edge Proxy URLs now persist when performing a backup and restore or when including **Proxy** in a template download. * Addressed the following vulnerability related to Zerotouch installations. - CVE-2025-61729 | ## Resolved Issues | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **DeviceHub:**
* Fixed an issue with the AB CompactLogix Ethernet Advanced driver where tags newly added in Logix Designer were not appearing in new browse jobs. * Fixed an issue where configuring extremely large polling intervals for certain drivers could cause abnormally high CPU usage. Very large polling intervals are now handled safely. * Fixed a DeviceHub bug that prevented adding `C/T/D_bit` tags to devices. * Fixed a panic error in the Torque tool Open Protocol Ethernet driver that caused connections to be rejected when reading torque data. * Fixed periodic license synchronization for DH devices and tags using the latest licensing API. | | **Applications:**
* Fixed issue where a container crashed with an `Exited 1` code, and a `container.deleted` event was generated even though the container was visible and not deleted. * Fixed an issue where volumes were deleted and recreated during an application upgrade resulting in data loss. | | **Analytics:**
* Fixed issue where you could not select an AI model connection for AI Processors and AI image processors. * Fixed an issue in the Analytics Tengo Script processor where `globals.variableGet()` could not correctly read JSON and array values using nested paths, ensuring JSON-based variables now resolve as expected. | | **Integration:**
* Fixed an issue where inbound subscriptions with dashes (`-`) in the local topic name were incorrectly converted to underscores (`_`). Topics now preserve dashes as expected. | | **System:**
* Fixed an issue where some applications that require advanced permissions fail to launch in privileged mode from Manufacturing Connect. * Resolved a compatibility issue with legacy LDAP servers that require RSA key exchange for TLS. * Resolved issue related to 5G only modems signal reporting and connectivity. * Fixed issue where a checkbox could not be cleared after it was selected when modifying permissions in **System** > **Access Control** > **Manage Roles**. * Various fixes for support bundle downloads. * Fixed issue where updates to user role permissions did not persist even though a confirmation message indicated that changes were applied. * Fixed issue where duplicate routes were generated when adding a static route. * The correct number of search results now displays at the bottom right in **System** > **Events** > **Events History**. * Improved the NATS proxy so that permission errors on incoming topics no longer cause high CPU usage in the access service. This makes messaging more resilient under misconfigured permissions. |
