New Features

Description
DeviceHub: This release introduces the following drivers: Cutler-Hammer. New ELC Gen2 drivers for improved connectivity to ELC controllers Cutler-Hammer ELC Ethernet Cutler-Hammer ELC Serial GE Fanuc GE Fanuc RX3i Serial (Gen1.3). Connects to GE Fanuc RX3i PLCs over serial communication Siemens S5 Ethernet. Gen2 driver connects to Siemens S5 PLCs over ethernet
Analytics: A new Analytics UI introduces improving usability and development tools: Modernized UI with Full-Screen Mode Canvas and toolbars have been fully redesigned for a cleaner, more intuitive experience. Includes support for Dark Mode. New Interactive Playground Test, write, and validate JavaScript, Tengo Script, and JSONata processors in real-time before deploying them. Improved Debugging Windows Redesigned debug and message windows provide clearer context to help you troubleshoot more efficiently. Flexible UI Adoption Instantly switch between the new and classic analytics UI.
System: Granular Privileged Container Control Control which users can launch Docker containers in privileged mode with the new ModifyPrivileged privilege. Grant users the rights they need for templates, backups, restores, and upgrades without granting full system access. Find the new privilege under Marketplace in System > Access Control > Manage Role > Edit.

Enhancements and Improvements

Description
DeviceHub: 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 <none> 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.
