We are excited to announce the availability of RTI Connext® 7.5 EAR, the latest feature release in our Jackson Hole series, which will culminate in the 7.7 LTS version in Q2 2026. This is an Early Access Release (EAR), designed for development environments rather than production. We invite you to explore the new capabilities and share your feedback to help shape the next LTS version.
Here’s what to look forward to in Connext 7.5:
Simplified System Designer Experience – Simplified project creation, experimental model checkpoints, and new QoS category filters for easier configuration.
Remote Debugging with Admin Console – Debug live systems across networks with Admin Console, reducing troubleshooting time from days to hours.
Enhanced Network Performance – Increased default UDP socket buffer size from 128 KB to 2 MB for improved throughput, with automatic adjustments to system limits, for better out-of-the-box performance and new configuration options for fine-tuning.
Live Security Updates Without Restarts – Update access policies dynamically and improve authentication efficiency with OCSP stapling.
Streamlined Client-Server Development with Python RPC API – Enables Python developers to define and use remote procedures, simplifying integration with distributed systems.
[Experimental] Optimized State Replication in Persistence Service – This ensures that "late joiner" DataReaders retrieve only necessary data, minimizing bandwidth usage – particularly useful in bandwidth-constrained networks.
