4.3. What’s New in 7.7.0

This section describes what’s new in Admin Console 7.7.0 compared to release 7.6.0.

Connext 7.7.0 is the first production release in the 7.7 long-term support (LTS) series. It is built upon and combines all of the fixes in releases 7.4.0, 7.5.0, and 7.6.0 (see Previous Releases). See the Connext Versions and Lifecycle page for more information on RTI’s software release model.

For what’s new and fixed in other products in the Connext suite, see those products’ release notes on the RTI Community Portal or in your installation.

4.3.1. QoS view now displays supported builtin endpoints for remote participants

The QoS view now displays data from the available_builtin_endpoints_ext field in ParticipantBuiltinTopicData. This field contains bits, converted to human-readable strings, detailing which builtin endpoints are supported by the remote DomainParticipants.

4.3.2. Support for exact_reliability_kind_match field of Reliability QoS enhances match analysis

Admin Console now recognizes and reports mismatches triggered by the exact_reliability_kind_match field of the Reliability QoS Policy. This enhancement provides:

  • Strict enforcement visibility. When a DataWriter enables exact_reliability_kind_match to require an identical reliability kind from its peers, Admin Console now explicitly flags any incompatible DataReaders.

  • Clear diagnostic feedback. These instances are now categorized and displayed as Requested/Offered (RxO) QoS Mismatches, allowing you to quickly identify why entities are failing to match even if their other settings appear compatible.
