WebIQ Server project configuration database (project.sqlite) has been removed and replaced by JSON files for better versioning of changes

The server configuration tool (connectcfg) has been removed as all functionality is now available through the Runtime Manager

Connections to OPC-UA datasources can now be forced to be encrypted with disabling unencrypted fallbacks

New widget IQ Trend-Set Select for configuring different trend sets through the HMI

Updated supported minimum browser versions to these (or compatible):

As the configuration tool connectcfg has been removed it can no longer be used. However, this did not work with WebIQ 2.13 already on Linux.

If your HMI is using prepared SQL statements which you have manually added to project.sqlite before and which reference project.sqlite itself (the "target_database" column contains "project") your corresponding code has to be modified, because as the database does not exist anymore you cannot perform SQL queries on (now new) JSON files. Instead, there are two options:

WEBIQ-3688 Added '(incl. Runtime)' to the development system in the installer to point out that WebIQ Server will also be installed on a development environment

WEBIQ-3720 Fix: [SECURITY] SQLite database file could be downloaded through the browser. As these include the unencrypted credentials for OPC-UA servers this is a security vulnerability and all OPC-UA server credentials should be considered compromised and changed immediately.

WEBIQ-3631 Fix: An error message was logged when a websocket was not closed correctly that was not really an error and has thus been removed

WEBIQ-3650 Fix: The Alarm List did not always show results when the server was running on Linux

WEBIQ-3699 Fix: Runtime Manager: when the connection was lost to WebIQ Server the error message was not displayed correctly

WEBIQ-3718 Fix: Improved error log in case WebIQ Designer sends an invalid request to WebIQ Server

WEBIQ-3770 Fix: Added output of parameter --license-agent-host in the command output

WEBIQ-3778 Fix: When entering a dot in a search input field in one of WebIQ Designer’s managers the CPU and RAM load could go up to 100%

WEBIQ-3791 Fix: Runtime Manager: No error message was shown when connect.sqlite could not be written due to incorrectly set file permissions by the user.

WEBIQ-3797 Fix: A simulation item with the simulation function 'randomramp' was changed to 'ramp' automatically and three parameters were added.

WEBIQ-3804 Fix: Runtime Manager: when a master license key with multiple licenses with one license containing an infinite number of tags had been selected, 0 was shown instead of unlimited for tags - this was only a display error.

WEBIQ-3805 Fix: Path placeholders like %configpath% were replaced by their value and then stored. This resulted in the complete path in the configuration instead of the one with placeholders which is not desirable.

WEBIQ-3806 Fix: When an alarm had been deleted in WebIQ Designer it remained active and could be triggered. On trigger an error was logged in the logfile.

WEBIQ-3809 Fix: It was no longer possible to use median aggregation in a trend - if such a trend was used in a Trend display widget no lines were drawn

WEBIQ-3818 Fix: Trend aggregation using rolling median returned wrong data after some time

WEBIQ-3825 Fix: Process Data Manager: when browsing an OPC-UA server not all nodes were accessible sometimes

WEBIQ-3367 Almost all configuration options for an HMI project are now available as JSON files for easier versioning - project.sqlite has therefore been removed.

WEBIQ-3702 IO Manager: it is now possible to restrict item updates for a datasource to only be notified when the item value changes - not the item timestamp

WEBIQ-3707 It was possible to use an older version of WebIQ License agent with WebIQ Server - this will no longer be possible and would only occur with custom non-standard setups anyway

WEBIQ-3723 It is now possible to enforce an enrcypted connection to the OPC-UA server

WEBIQ-3761 When certain errors occurred that related to Windows WinHTTP interface the exact Windows error code was not shown before - this has been added now

WEBIQ-3762 Added support for the reverse proxy on ctrlX systems

WEBIQ-3785 License activation did not work when the Windows "WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery" (WPAD) service had been disabled. WebIQ now does not rely on that service anymore.

WEBIQ-3801 License Agent: can be configured by a JSON file which will now be created by default (it was supported before, but not created if it did not exist)

WEBIQ-3819 Removed PnP DeviceID from licensing data to prevent licenses from becoming invalid when the firmware or driver is updated (specifically Windows)

WEBIQ-3227 Fix: When updating to a newer version of WebIQ some dialogs inside the System dialog that had changed were not shown in the latest version because of caching

WEBIQ-3692 Fix: Process Data Manager: In rare circumstances when configuring virtual items they would be shown twice

WEBIQ-3693 Fix: In certain circumstances an error was shown when configuring a composite widget

WEBIQ-3694 Fix: An error message was shown and the composite could not be deleted from the widget list when the composite had been created with WebIQ ⇐ 2.11.0

WEBIQ-3695 Fix: Process Data Manager: tooltip for input/display limits has been clarified

WEBIQ-3728 Fix: Item Manager: It was possible to create duplicate virtual item names through renaming

WEBIQ-3738 Fix: It was possible to select virtual items in Alarm Manager and Recorder Manager even though they are not supported there

WEBIQ-3749 Fix: UX inconvenience in Responsive Menu configuration allowing users to drag the configuration itself

WEBIQ-3753 Fix: Composite Widgets: in certain configurations when modifying a composite widget other instances were modified but not the selected instance

WEBIQ-3763 Fix: The alarm condition != was not displayed correctly in Alarm Manager

WEBIQ-3776 Fix: Renamed 'less' to 'LESS' in build output messages for better understanding

WEBIQ-3780 Fix: A localization was missing for an error message that occurred when an access group could not be added

WEBIQ-3715 Now all Roboto font styles can be selected in the IQ styling for texts in widgets

WEBIQ-3722 When updating a package a lot less messages will be shown, furthermore, errors will be highlighted

WEBIQ-3746 It is now possible to access the configuration and about dialogs when an HMI has been loaded

WEBIQ-3788 When connecting to WebIQ on a ctrlX system directly and then to the local WebIQ Server - or vice versa - a login was required in WebIQ Designer as only a single login token was supported.

WEBIQ-3391 Fix: Recipe Select: overlay keyboard was not shown on click even though enabled

WEBIQ-3531 Fix: Auto-Logout time was limited to a maximum of around 28 days (with 'unlimited' still working)

WEBIQ-3665 Fix: IQ Image Changer, IQ Label, Label: bitmasks did not work with bits >= 31

WEBIQ-3670 Fix: Unit classes did not work correctly with alarm widgets and only displayed the unit class number, not the unit class text

WEBIQ-3787 Fix: Composite Widget: when an item property of a condition modifier was set through a snippet and the modifier had been removed an invalid modifier remained that prohibited editing of the composite widget

WEBIQ-3789 Fix: IQ Radial Gauge/IQ Linear Gauge: When a linear gradient had a value set larger than 100% the HMI could no longer be edited in WebIQ Designer and the gauge would not work correctly
