- Added documentation for user and developer (see new documentation folder)
- implemented IP whitelisting
- implemented automatic network reconnect
- made upload block size configurable (see user guide)
- added service/daemon scripts including installation scripts
- General tweaks and bugfixes
- Component connections can now be directly selected and deleted in the workflow editor (required using the connection dialog before)
- Improved automatic behaviour when connecting components in the editor
- Improved handling of special cases in data management browser
- Running RCE instances can now be shutdown by running the executable again with the --shutdown flag (supports installation of RCE as a system service)
- Added "tool access" feature that allows remote execution of user-integrated tools via SSH
- Improved SSH command interface
- Renamed embedded SSH server configuration file
- General tweaks and bugfixes
- Fixed two issues missed in release testing
- Restored configuration tabs for deprecated Simple Wrapper component
- Restored context help for workflow components
- Added a wizard to simplify the creation of new workflows
- Extended Network view
- Workflow components are shown per node (for own node: locally installed and published ones; for remote nodes: published ones)
- Connections to other nodes are shown
- Connections to others can be managed (added, edited, deleted, started, stopped)
- Fixed issues regarding copy&paste of workflow components
- Fixed result view of Parametric Study component when it is opened multiple times
- Improved responsiveness of the graphical user interface by reworking long-lasting operations
- General improvements
- Fix configuration validation in Script component
- Added additional context menus where applicable
- Removed tool bar icons for workflow control as they didn't work reliably; may be added again in a future version
- Removed unnecessary menu entries in the graphical user interface
- Added button in placeholder page (in workflow execution wizard) to select a file from the file system if the placeholder represents a file system path
- Added menu entry to switch between workspaces
- Added menu entry to restart RCE
- Added generic integration concept to integrate tools as workflow components
- Tools are integrated using a graphical wizard
- Newly integrated tools can immediately be made available ("published") to other users
- Fixed constraints handling in Optimizer component for Dakota algorithms
- Made Converger component more robust against inputs that are received after convergence of component
- Restricted input types of Parametric Study component to floating point numbers and integers
- If script in Script component reads an input that is optional or required and which has no new value, an exception is thrown now
- Reworked Cluster component: inputs and outputs are directories, and multiple jobs can be submitted within one iteration
- Added new data type "Directory"
- Reworked the way how values/data are sent from one workflow component to another to improve performance and adapt to the new multi-network feature (see below)
- Marked workflow components as deprecated if they are intended to be removed in future versions
- When workflow components (without result views) are finished, the hosting RCE node can now be shut down without breaking the workflow
- Fixed a memory leak that occurred during workflow component execution
- RCE nodes can now connect to multiple networks without creating a connection between them; previously, this caused all networks to merge into a single, larger network. The new behaviour gives network administrators better control of computing resources.
- Made network connections restartable (usable from Network View and command shell)
- Provided infrastructure for more efficient distribution of node information (for example, the list of published components)
- Improved handling of routing information
- Improved routing performance by reducing the number of re-calculations
- Fixed a server-side resource leak in the ActiveMQ network transport
- Added first draft of an SSH administration console
- Removed unnecessary files in installation folder of RCE (launcher(.exe), eclipsec.exe)
- Improved log messages (e.g. removed irrelevant stack traces, reviewed and reduced warnings)
- "rce.log" is now located in the main directory (previously in "configuration")
- Improved internal event handling
- Shortened path length of temporary files
- General tweaks, bugfixes and performance improvements
