FrameworX 10.1 Update 5d — planned for August 5, 2026

AI, MCP and automation

• Author display configuration completely from automation — legend, connections, chart orientation, child-display links, and themes.
• Update a display’s code-behind script without altering the drawing canvas — content-only display import.
• Importing a display page from JSON preserves all content — nested groups, dialog settings, and exact layout.
• Writing a display from automation replaces its elements instead of duplicating them when the display’s editor is open.
• Reading several displays in one full-detail request returns results instead of reporting the one-at-a-time limit.
• Verify dialog content and prompts in automated Designer tests, without rendering them.
• Drive and complete suppressed Designer configuration dialogs in automated tests, without rendering them.
• Drive and observe the running operator clients — both WPF and web — from automated tests.
• Validate electronic-signature and security workflows with automated tests, safely.
• Tags can be created inside UNS folders from automation — AddTagAndDevicePoint accepts path-bearing tag names.
• Importing a large ontology returns a readable summary instead of an oversized response.
• Concurrent AI sessions no longer overwrite each other’s exported solution files.
• Security secrets written through the AI tools are stored encrypted, and password fields are protected on every tool surface.
• Designer instances started by the AI tools are reused and shut down cleanly instead of accumulating.
• Solution exports record the full path the solution was created at, not just its name.
• Recursive (self-referencing) template definitions are blocked when authored programmatically, with a warning at build time.
• MCP server hardening batch — a set of robustness and safety corrections across the MCP server surface.

Local AI and AI Chat

• Local AI endpoint configuration is easier to get right — whitespace is trimmed and sensible defaults (URL, headers, secret name) are pre-seeded when a provider preset is selected.
• Updated Claude model suggestions and clearer AI endpoint Test results.
• AI Chat: the Context grounding field can no longer be pointed at the question or reply tag, which previously produced self-referential grounding.

Displays and Symbols

• Symbol size no longer reverts to default when importing a display from JSON.
• Symbol rotation no longer reverts to 0° when importing a display from JSON.
• Symbol legend is imported when importing a Display page.
• Option to hide the border of a symbol’s legend.
• Library symbols with a theme-color FillColor dynamic render correctly in the Designer editor — runtime rendering was already correct.
• Fill color is applied to the intended object when another object is clicked immediately after.
• Canceling a drawing tool mid-draw leaves no leftover connections, orphan shapes, or phantom undo entries.
• Selecting a button whose Action script method was renamed or deleted no longer silently clears its Action target.
• Editing a button’s Action settings enables the Save button in Designer.
• Display Connectors infrastructure re-enabled.
• Folder-path tag bindings compile correctly in Canvas display code-behind.
• Trend Chart: tags with Quality 64 no longer interpolate between two Quality 192 points.

HTML5 and web client

• The HTML5 web client loads significantly faster with compressed delivery and browser caching.
• TDataGrid columns no longer appear blank when FieldName casing does not exactly match the DataTable column name.
• Web Display scripts no longer fail when a referenced Script Class had not yet been built for the web.
• Display CodeBehind: the Clipboard.SetText obsolete warning no longer suggests a method that does not compile.

Scripts and Code Editor

• Multi-line string literals and string interpolation with Tag/Info references compile correctly in Scripts and Display CodeBehind.
• Server-domain Script Classes build correctly when a method contains a nested interpolated string.
• Calling a private or protected Script Class method from a Script Task reports CS0122 instead of the misleading CS0246.
• IntelliSense exposes every class inside a Script Namespace and no longer allows calling non-static methods without instantiation.
• IntelliSense refreshes and recognizes newly created Classes and Namespaces.
• Creating a namespace in Scripts/Classes no longer duplicates using directives and the compiler warnings they caused.
• IntelliSense and the Dynamics method list keep working with tuple destructuring in a foreach header.
• Third-party DLLs in Script References load correctly when the product bundles a same-name library.
• Find All References is enabled in the Script Class Code Editor.
• The Code Editor keeps cursor and scroll position when switching tabs or saving a script.
• Deleting a class or open document reliably closes its editor tab.
• Script Editor matches Display CodeBehind editor behavior for saved-line highlighting and #region state.
• Writing rows back to a configuration table from a Server script no longer fails with an internal error.

Unified Namespace, Tags and Ontology

• Importing an ontology (RDF/OWL) creates the object relationships and the asset-tree hierarchy.
• The ISA-88 ontology import template’s mapping rules are applied instead of being silently ignored.
• Exporting and re-importing a UNS graph preserves the asset hierarchy when entities carry a source IRI.
• Importing tags and displays together resolves display bindings to the new tags.
• The Asset Tree tab shows folders and tags in order after importing an existing solution’s UNS.
• Initial values for GUID tags are retained when set through the Asset Tree view or at tag creation.
• Tag rename in the asset tree works when only letter case changes.
• EngWrapper API — set a tag’s per-instance property overrides (StartValue, Min, Max, Disable, DisplayText, Description, Enumeration) on UserType member instances.

Devices and protocols

• PEER Protocol Driver — new communication driver.
• Store-and-forward (local buffering) for the Azure IoT Hub / MQTT driver.
• Modbus TCP master sends well-formed frames and reads devices correctly.
• OPC UA: UDT array member Value is now sent by the OPC Server.
• Siemens “TIA Portal (local)” tag import no longer fails immediately with a “file not found” error.
• Siemens tag import covers PLC tag tables (Input/Output/Memory), not only Data Blocks.
• MQTT Client Connector: CPU no longer escalates on invalid broker credentials, and the device process terminates after Stop Solution.
• Device points configured for a channel are available to the runtime instead of loading as zero.
• The @Device.Channel.<name>.Start expression is no longer ambiguous in Designer IntelliSense and resolves correctly at runtime.

Alarms, Historian and redundancy

• Historian and Alarm redundancy replication keeps up on large projects — the standby database synchronizes fully.
• Alarm Viewer respects the custom alarm-history table name, and single alarms save correctly on SQL Server historians.
• Diagnostic tools can connect to the standby server in redundant systems.
• The standby server no longer starts the Devices module Running when a device has Initial State Reserved or Remote.

Designer, Solution Center and packaging

• Designer no longer freezes for several seconds when opening Solution Capabilities for the first time.
• Solution Center licensing calls are more resilient — connection reuse, recovery after network loss, and forward-slash path handling.
• MCP configuration inconsistencies in templates corrected, along with a truncated label in Execution Profiles.

Lifecycle and Support

Update 5d is planned as a free upgrade for every FrameworX 10.x customer, shipping with the platform’s standard within-major-version 100% compatibility commitment.
