Version 0.7.0-SNAPSHOT (2024/07/11, no maven central release):

Before migrating oktoflow to JDK 17, we archive the actual state without maven release. There will be a maven release at the end of the migration activities.

New features:

• Maven plugins/goals: explicit resource deletion and oktoflow application testing/platform starting
• #163: UI regression testing, cleanup, editing, uploads
• #150: Connect instantiation process to UI
• #153: MD5 hashes for Python "compilation", offline for mvn install
• #154: Application packaging scheme in configuration meta-model
• #152: EMO'23 example added to repository
• Connectors now also usable as mesh transformers
• Connectors with temporary data storage for transformation expressions
• Serial connector, e.g., for EAN code scanners
• MODBUS/TCP connector by Christian Nikolajew
• Example MODBUS/TCP field declarations for Phoenix Contact EEM 370 in meta model
• INFLUX DB connector for InfluxDb2, tested with version 2.7.6
• Added identityStore-test.yml as fallback for identityStore.yml (if the latter shall not be committed)
• Plugins for alternative components with conflicting classpaths. Retrofit for BaSyx 1.0, in particular in AAS connector.
• Generated simple connector test programs in implementation templates.
• Auto-generation of all IDTA specs published in February 2024.
• AAS abstraction/integration: referenceElement, multiLanguageProperties, entity, more semanticIds, IDTA 02004-1-2 Handover Documentation, IDTA 02011-1-0 Hierarchical Structures enabling Bills of Material, IDTA 2023-01-24 Draft Submodel PCF, IDTA 02008-1-1 Time Series Data, IDTA 02002-1-0 Submodel for Contact Information, IDTA 02007-1-0 Nameplate for Software in Manufacturing and related examples/tests including the XMAS AAS

Improvements:

• #106: Preprations for JDK 17 on JDK 13
• #156: UI regression tests including in-test execution of platform, (un)deployment of app
• #151: UI CORS
• #155: Align model locations to Maven, examples now use ''target/easy'' for the meta model and ''src/main/easy'' for the production configuration model. For old example checkouts, delete all uncommitted files in ''src/main/easy'' that are also in ''target/easy''.
• Name convention change for service meshes in managed configurations: The application name is not part of a service mesh name anymore to enable more flexibility and reuse.
• Python source compatibility for version > 3.9 (regex escapes, inspired through IMPT)
• Streamlined assembly-based Python application packaging (inspired through IMPT).
• #157: Clean up and untangle the configuration build flow, also for releases
• #115: Cleanup, e.g., old build processes. AasUtils is now in support.aas, Version, AbstractSetup, JsonUtils are now in support. Duplicate classes were removed.
• #162: Installation scripts revised, Angular also considered on Windows, more information during installation, generic deployment script added, mgt UI can be started.
• Build process terminates immediately on error.
• Example tests are executed uniformly through maven. Maven based tests can start/stop entire platform (used in managemt UI as test environment).
• Platform maven plugins can detect platform model and maven component changes.
• Platform runtime properties in pidDir/oktoflow.yaml.
• Partial setup override in oktoflow-local.yml.
• Platform CLI file/URI support and artifactsPrefixURI substitution
• Replacement of BaSyx based mapping of IDTA generic frame for technical data to abstract implementation based on AAS abstraction realizing IDTA 02003-1-2 Generic Frame for Technical Data for Industrial Equipment in Manufacturing (interface change)
