InTouch Machine Editionv7.1 + Service Pack 3 + Patch 2 (Friday, August 08, 2014)

ID	Type	Description
2872	Requirement	Modified the Trend task to make it easier to troubleshoot when historical data are not saved correctly.
3316	Change Request	Modified the message that is displayed when the project developer clicks "Trust server certificate" in the security settings for an OPC UA connection (OPC UA > Connections > Server Configuration > Security), in order to warn them when the certificate is self-signed.
4994	Change Request	Implemented the new built-in functions TranslationLookupLoad, TranslationLookupGet, and TranslationLookupClose, which allow the project developer to create lookup maps between different languages. For more information, see the documentation.
4995	Change Request	Improved the ADO.NET database gateway (StADOSvr) to make it possible to specify a locale (i.e., language and country) for database queries, rather than use the locale that is specified in the host's system settings.
5685	Change Request	Modified the built-in function CheckESign to take a security access level as an optional parameter. Previously, the function would validate against level 0, and level 0 is still the default, but this parameter allows the project developer to specify any level.
3989	Issue	Resolved an issue with Linked Symbols that are configured to use Class tags imported via tag integration.
4025	Issue	Resolved an issue with the built-in function FileWrite, where it did not properly handle the Visual Basic CRLF character (vbCrLf).

4903	Issue	Resolved issues with Runtime for Windows Embedded Compact not properly interacting with SQL CE 3.5.
5059	Issue	Resolved an issue with the project security system where, if a project had been running for extended period (i.e., more than one week), creating a new user would generate errors.
5064	Issue	Resolved an issue where the OPC UA Client task would sometimes crash if it attempted a read/write operation while it was disconnected from the OPC UA server.
5092	Issue	Modified the ADO.NET database gateway (StADOSvr) to work even if Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is not installed on the computer that hosts the gateway. .NET Framework 4 became a requirement when support for Wonderware Historian was implemented in a previous release (see item 3423). This modification ensures that the gateway will continue to work for most database connections, but if you plan to connect to a Historian database, .NET Framework 4 is still required. For more information, see the documentation.
5099	Issue	Resolved an issue with the EmbeddedView runtime where it did not show the window menus (File, Security, Tools) even if it was configured to do so (Project Settings > Viewer).
5185	Issue	Resolved an issue where the "Test Screen" command would change the background color of Text objects that have the Text Data Link animation applied to them. (To access the "Test screen" command, right-click in the project screen editor.) See also item 5186.
5186	Issue	Resolved an issue where the "Test Screen" command would change the size of some screen objects that have the Position/Visibility animation applied to them. (To access the "Test screen" command, right-click in the project screen editor.) See also item 5185.
5208	Issue	Modified the OPC UA Client and OPC XML/DA Client tasks to set tag quality to BAD when the connection to the OPC Server is lost.
5210	Issue	Resolved an issue where the project security system did not verify that a client request had been processed before the next request was sent. This sometimes caused the project to become unstable, when the client received responses to requests that had timed out.
5247	Issue	Modified both the History-to-Text utility (HST2TXT.exe) and the built-in function Hst2Txt to improve their handling of Daylight Saving Time (DST).
5292	Issue	Resolved an issue that was causing project file tagl.txt to be deleted under certain circumstances.
5313	Issue	Resolved an issue with the "Built-in Dialogs Scale" setting (Project Settings > Web) where if it was set to anything other than 100%, it caused the "User Name" combo box in the "Log On" dialog box to be displayed incorrectly.
5330	Issue	Resolved an issue where an incorrect message was displayed when the project developer tried to insert the same System Symbol more than once.
5351	Issue	Resolved an issue where the built-in function GetOS would return incorrect values when called on Windows Embedded Standard.
5377	Issue	Resolved an issue with the built-in functions PrintWindow and SaveScreenshot where, if the functions were used to print or save a closed screen that contained a Trend Control object, the object was not printed or saved correctly.
5378	Issue	Resolved an issue where the run-time user could accidentally close the viewer on Windows Embedded if they clicked or tapped the top-right corner of the project screen.
5392	Issue	Resolved an issue where a screen file sometimes became corrupted if the project developer deleted an ActiveX control from the screen and then saved it.
5455	Issue	Resolved an issue with the Grid Control object where if it was configured to use Class Tag as its data source, it would show BAD quality for the wrong array elements.
5616	Issue	Modified the Protection Manager to allow you to select a MAC address when you change your softkey license. This is necessary because the license's site code is based on the computer's MAC address, and the computer may have more than one MAC address if it is connected to a VPN or otherwise using a virtual NIC at the time that you change your license.
5634	Issue	Implemented safeguards to prevent memory overflow errors that sometimes occurred when using TreeView Control (TreeView.ocx) in a project screen.
5804	Issue	Resolved issue with Remote Management experiencing timeout problems when downloading projects to remote computers when the Remote Agent is configured with users and passwords on its Security System
5884	Issue	Resolved an issue where the built-in function TagsDBAddTag would not accept new tag names beginning with the "@" character.

4680	Issue	Modified the OPC DA/XML task to recognize the data type of items that were not ""available"" for the OPC Server when the OPC DA/XML Client task was launched, but eventually become ""available"" (e.g.: connect the device to the network only after the OPC DA/XML task was launched). The new algorithm allows the OPC DA/XML Client to recognize the data type of items that become available during the runtime and, consequently, be able to write values to such items.
4681	Issue	Improved the performance of the Tag Integration for the ""RSLogix 5000 family"" provider when loading tag names from the L5K file. Moreover, the Tag Integration was modified to ignore ""Encoded Data blocks"" while importing the remaining tags available in the L5K file.

InTouch Machine Editionv7.1 + Service Pack 3 + Patch 4 - Known Issues (Thursday, December 18, 2014)

ID	Type	Description
871	Issue	Resize Dynamic Property not working properly on Open Polygons [WORKAROUND]: If you need to use resize try using other shapes or pictures
1634	Issue	Right-click does not work correctly when objects are grouped and "Execute only topmost object commands" is enabled [WORKAROUND]: Ungroup the objects
1748	Issue	Import Wizard does not import Opc Ua, Opc Xi and Tag Integration configuration files [WORKAROUND]: Copy the Opc Ua, Opc Xi, and Tag Integration settings manually from the source project.
2033	Issue	CEServer for EmbeddedView v7.0 does not properly handle when there is a MAC ID in the Registry [WORKAROUND]: The workaround is to manually clear the following registry key: This is the Registry Key: SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Class\\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}
2134	Issue	Validation of the Custom Resolution fields happen when creating new projects even if you have selected one of the pre-defined resolutions [WORKAROUND]: Change the resolution back to Custom and write a value between 240 and 10000 on both fields. Then, choose one of the pre-defined resolutions on the Combo box
2501	Issue	Linked pictures do not work on the Windows Embeeded runtime [WORKAROUND]: Add the files im31*.* and the file imgman32.dll to the product BIN folder.
2526	Issue	Combo-Box connected to Database does not work well if the screen has the option "Hide screen instead of closing it" checked [WORKAROUND]: Load the database information on an array tag and place the array tag on the Combo-Box
2534	Issue	The Mobile Access legend is not properly redrawn on some specific conditions [WORKAROUND]: Toggle the cursor to for the legend redraw
3733	Issue	Ack alarms when double clicking on the Extra Columns "Custom Fields" in the alarm object does not work. [WORKAROUND]: Enable other column than "Custom Fields" and use it for ack the alarm.
4821	Issue	If you modify a tag field that applies to the entire array Mobile Access will not synchronize the value to all the array elements [WORKAROUND]: Because the field has the same value for all indexes, you should use one index for all the locations where you need the field.
