2024-05-24 (Latest)

New Feature:

• Support for displaying and modifying all the objects and properties introduced with BACnet protocol revision 24.

• Support for dynamic device assignment (DM-DDA-A).

Improvement:

• Replaced the terms "Master" and "Slave" by the newly defined terms "Manager" and "Subordinate".

• For SC the device scan will start after successful connection.

• Reduced the number of ReadBDT requests for BBMD detection during device scan for better performance.

Improvement:

• In display of BACnet network numbers the network, that BACeye is directly connected too, is now marked as "Local(###)". First versions of BACeye used the number zero for that purpose, recent versions started with zero but changed to the actual number after learning the real network number

• New detailed dialogs for displaying and modifying Event Parameters and Fault Parameters in Event Enrollment objects

Improvement:

• Better fallback strategies when reading and writing file object contents

Fix:

• FailoverHub setting for BACnet/SC would not become active.
