4.5. What’s New in 7.0.0

4.5.1. ‘Copy Connext Micro SDK’ Button no longer Copies Connext Micro Documentation

In previous releases, the Copy Connext Micro SDK button copied the entire Connext Micro installation directory. This caused broken links between Connext Micro and Connext Core Libraries documentation. This issue has been resolved; the Copy Connext Micro SDK button will now only copy the Connext Micro source code and the examples; it will not copy the Connext Micro documentation, Code Generator, or Micro Application Generator. Documentation must be accessed via Launcher or the Connext Micro installation directory.

4.5.2. User Entry of OpenSSL Path no longer Required

You no longer need to specify the path to OpenSSL, because OpenSSL is always installed under $NDDSHOME/third_party/openssl-<version>.

The OpenSSL fields have been removed from the dialogs for opening Connext Professional and Connext Micro terminals.

4.5.3. C++/CLI and Legacy .NET Options Removed from Code Generator Dialog

The C# (Legacy) and C++/CLI (Legacy .NET only) language options have been removed from the Code Generator dialog.

These changes have been made because the -language C++/CLI and -dotnet legacy options have been removed from Code Generator. See “What’s New in 4.0.0” in the RTI Code Generator Release Notes for more information.

4.5.4. Code Generator Dialog’s Language Choices now Include Python

The language drop-down list in the Code Generator dialog has been updated to include Python.

4.5.5. Persistence Service Advanced Options Dialog now Allows Setting the Restore State to Persistent Storage

The Persistence Service Advanced Options dialog has been updated to allow you to set the Restore state to any of its supported values. Now you can use -restore 1, -restore 0, or omit the -restore option. Previously -restore 1 was not supported.

4.5.6. Launcher Automatically Updates to Reflect Changes from Installed RTI Packages

Previously, if the installation or removal of an RTI Package (*.rtipkg) caused a button or tab to be added or removed in Launcher, you had to restart Launcher to see the change. Launcher has been updated to automatically update its content if a change is detected while Launcher is running.

4.5.7. New Location for Configuration Files for Labs Panel

The configuration files for the Labs panel are now in the Connext installation directory, instead of rti_workspace. You will find these files in NDDSHOME>/resource/app/app_support/launcher/panels.

4.5.9. New Configuration Options for Launcher Tabs

The configuration file has been updated to allow you to:

Specify the position of a tab in Launcher.
Specify which tab is selected by default (if the License File has been set).
Split a tab into two sub-panels.

For more information about these new configurations, see Section 3.1.1, Configuration File, in the Launcher User’s Manual.

4.5.10. Updates to DDS Spy Dialog

The DDS Spy dialog has been updated with new options to:

Configure what type of data (discovery data, user data) will be displayed (-mode <USER|DISC>). If -mode is omitted, both types are displayed.
Display the entity name (-showEntityName)
Display the partition (-showPartition) to which an entity belongs

The Print Sample option has been updated so you can configure which type of sample information DDS Spy will display (plain or compact). The default is plain.

The Truncate option has been removed, since DDS Spy no longer supports it.
