This changelog reports changes to the public API. Internal refactorings and bug fixes are not reported here. 2017-08-16 jpfr * Default Attribute Values for Node Attributes The AddNodes service takes a structure with the attributes of the new node as input. We began checking the consistency of the attributes more closely. You can now use constant global definitions with default values as a starting point. For example UA_VariableAttributes_default for adding a variable node. * All nodes have a context pointer All nodes now carry a context pointer. The context pointer is initially set to a user-defined memory location. The context pointer is passed to all user-visible callbacks involving the node. * Global and node-type constructor/destructor The constructors are fine-grained mechanisms to control the instantiation and deletion of nodes. Constructors receive the node context pointer and can also replace it. 2017-08-13 Infinity95 * New/Delete methods for the server configuration The default server configuration is no longer a constant global variable. Instead, it is now handled with a pair of new/delete methods. This enables the use of malloced members of the server configuration. With this change, the endpoint descriptions are no longer generated in the server but are created as part of the server configuration. See the example server implementations on how to use the configuration generation. The change is a precursor to the encryption implementation that ties into the generation of endpoint descriptions in the server config. The generation of the default server configuration is implemented as a "plugin". So it comes with CC0 licensing and can be freely adjusted by users. The TCP port in the default configuration is 4840. This is the recommended port for OPC UA and now used throughout all examples. 2017-07-04 jpfr * Return partially overlapping ranges Test the integrity of the range and compute the max index used for every dimension. The standard says in Part 4, Section 7.22: When reading a value, the indexes may not speify a range that is within the bounds of the array. The Server shall return a partial result if some elements exist within the range. 2017-07-03 jpfr * Implement asynchronous service calls for the client All OPC UA services are asynchronous in nature. So several service calls can be made without waiting for a response first. Responess may come in a different ordering. The client takes a method pointer and a data pointer to perform an asynchronous callback on the request response. Synchronous service calls are still supported in the client. Asynchronous responses are processed in the background until the synchronous response (the client is waiting for) returns the control flow back to the user. 2017-06-26 janitza-thbe * Enable IPv6 in the networklayer plugin The server networklayer listens on several sockets for available networks and IP versions. IPv4 connections are still supported. The OPC Foundation ANSI C Stack before 2016 does not fully support IPv6. On Windows, the 'localhost' target is resolved to IPv6 by default. Old applications (e.g. the Conformance Testing Tools) need to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of 'localhost' to force IPv4. 2017-06-16 jpfr * Require the AccessLevel bit UA_ACCESSLEVELMASK_READ for reading Set the bit by default when adding nodes for a smooth transition to the new API. This will change at a later point with an additional node settings argument for the AddNodes methods. 2017-05-03 pro * Array dimensions are UInt32 also for the highlevel client read service 2017-04-16 jpfr * Refactor UA_parseEndpointUrl to work with UA_String The output hostname and path now point into the original endpointUrl with an appropriate length. 2017-04-14 jpfr * Auto-instantiate only child nodes marked as mandatory (fixes #1004)
