What's New in 7.0.0
-------------------

Support for the DISCOVERY logging category
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. SYSD-905

|SD| now supports the DISCOVERY logging category.


New field to configure Domain tag when defining Participant QoS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. SYSD-909

A new field has been added to easily configure the Domain Tag
when defining a Participant QoS:

.. figure:: ../static/SYSD-909-screenshot1.png
    :alt: New field for Domain Tag   
    :name: Figure_new_field_Domain_Tag
    :align: center
    :figwidth: 100%     

The Domain Tag can also be configured as a regular property,
``dds.domain_participant.domain_tag``. In this case, |SD| will
automatically show the Domain Tag value in the new field.

.. figure:: ../static/SYSD-909-screenshot2.png
    :alt: New field for Domain Tag filled in   
    :name: Figure_new_field_Domain_Tag_filled_in
    :align: center
    :figwidth: 100%

The new field will also indicate if the Domain Tag has been inherited from a base QoS.

.. figure:: ../static/SYSD-909-screenshot3.png
    :alt: New field for Domain Tag inherited   
    :name: Figure_new_field_Domain_Tag_inherited
    :align: center
    :figwidth: 100%

Improvements to .rtisdproj file to be human-readable and contain more metadata
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. SYSD-912

The |SD| ``.rtisdproj`` file has been changed to a human-readable JSON format,
instead of a single-line string. 

The ``.rtisdproj`` file now contains these additional properties:

* The original creation date of the project.
* The version of System Designer used to create the project.

The Project Properties pane has been updated to display these properties.


New field to configure Partition QoS when defining a DomainParticipant
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. SYSD-916

A new field allows you to configure the Partition QoS policy when
defining a DomainParticipant's QoS. 

.. figure:: ../static/SYSD-916-releasenote-screenshot.png
    :alt: New field for DomainParticipant level Partition   
    :name: Figure_new_field_DomainParticipant_Partition

and when adding an XML file to a project. You can disable this validation in the
Advanced Project Properties dialog.
