See Update 5c - Detailed Release Notes for the complete change log.

AI Integration

• Local AI platform service — Local AI joins OPC Server, DataHub, MQTT Broker, and AI MCP as a configurable Data Server with a live reachability indicator. Bring your own OpenAI-compatible or Claude endpoint. See Local AI - First Install Walkthrough.
• AI Chat in Displays and Scripts — a new CHAT action verb, the TChatSession Display control, and the ChatRequest Script API wire AI conversations into any screen, task, or script.
• Drivable Designer for any MCP client — through DesignerMCP an AI assistant can browse the object model, read and write objects, capture screenshots, run wizards, and write into the live runtime; concurrent Designer instances are supported.
• ConsoleMCP — a file-based JSON workspace surface that needs no live Designer, with stdio and HTTP transports. Device tag-import wizards, configuration-grid checks, and cross-solution Display clipboard are fully automatable.
• Headless solution execution — AI agents and CI pipelines can start a solution headlessly with its full web client available, enabling end-to-end automated testing without a visible desktop.
• AI Tutor inside the Designer — a three-tier curriculum (Essentials, Professional, Expert) with per-user progress and tier-completion certificates. See the AI Tutor docs hub.

Industrial Ontology and Unified Namespace

• Ontology-aware Tags and UserTypes — semantic metadata on every Tag, UserType, and member, with an RDF/OWL importer and UNS export to RDF/JSON, JSON-LD, Turtle, or N-Triples. See Industrial Ontology Integration.
• Reference-target picker and inline start values — pick StartValue paths from the Asset Tree with autocomplete, with per-instance inline start values and live per-tag values shown at the asset.
• One-click Knowledge Graph reports — the Asset Tree generates a shareable visual report of the UNS hierarchy, themed Light or Dark.
• TKnowledgeGraph Display control — renders ontology and asset relationships as graphs across WPF and HTML5, with a design-time preview. See Knowledge Graph Control Reference.

New Connectors

• MongoDB — a single driver in four roles: Device protocol, UNS TagProvider, Historian storage, and Dataset provider. See MongoDB Database Connector.
• QuestDB — a time-series driver in three roles: Device protocol, UNS TagProvider, and high-throughput Historian storage. Requires the .NET 10 runtime. See QuestDB Time-Series Database Connector.
• Sorba.AI — bidirectional MQTT machine-learning integration with 11 algorithm UserTypes pre-loaded.
• MQTT Sparkplug B publish-by-name — name-based publishing decoupled from Store and Forward, so subscribers that join mid-session receive name-based DDATA.
• SiemensPlus — Cross-Platform Siemens Driver — a new Siemens driver built on a modern API foundation with native cross-platform support running on Windows, Linux, and Docker-hosted FrameworX deployments. The legacy driver remains fully supported.
• PEER Protocol / Microlok II (beta version) — new native driver for PEER Protocol-based devices, including Microlok II controllers used in rail and transit automation.

Visualization and Displays

• TRadialGauge — one portable gauge (Full, SemiCircle, CenterValue, BandedRange presets) replaces three legacy circular gauges across WPF and HTML5.
• Symbol Legend — symbols now support configurable legends: Has Legend shows the legend; the value displayed is configurable per symbol; tag enumerations can be overridden on a per-instance basis.
• Operator range-validation warning — when an operator enters a value outside a tag’s configured min/max range, a clear warning is shown before the value is applied.
• Display Connectors restored — full clipboard, undo, and delete; endpoints snap to connectable shapes and auto-finalize; endpoint thumbs under the SelectionTool.
• Trend Annotations — operators place timestamped, commented markers directly on Trend Chart pens, shared with anyone reviewing the same time range.
• Trend Chart improvements — legends with position, move, context menu, and a HasLegend property, plus consistent WPF/HTML5 behavior for async loads, quality-gap rendering, persisted pen units, and printed-report symbols.
• Visual Query Editor — drag tables, joins, columns, and filters in the Datasets page with full Designer theming.
• Dozens of Display fixes — configurable TTextBlock MaxLength, image-flip and polyline-rotation fixes, faster Display open, pinch-to-zoom on mobile browsers, and improved symbol size and aspect-ratio handling.

OPC UA

• Structured-data support for CODESYS and WAGO — OPC UA devices that expose UDT tags as ExtensionObject — including CODESYS and WAGO PLCs — now decode all struct members correctly at runtime, including nested structures.
• Nested struct browsing in Data Explorer — the OPC UA Data Explorer now drills into nested struct hierarchies, making it straightforward to inspect and map deeply nested UDT members.
• Tag import, certificate, and address-space reliability — tag import handles connection failures and legacy configurations without crashing; custom certificate trust no longer re-prompts on subsequent connections; node identifiers containing commas are preserved correctly.

Import Wizards — GIS, CAD, and JSON

• GIS and CAD tag importers — GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML/KMZ, DXF, and DWG, with a GIS/CAD Display Generator that turns import sources into native Display geometry. See AutoCAD / GIS Tag Importer.
• JSON Import / Export — a re-platformed round-trip handles nested UserTypes and inheritance; a new opt-in Mirror Sync mode makes JSON exports a viable Git source of truth; large multi-file imports complete in seconds.

Enterprise IT, Security, and Deployment

• OIDC / OAuth2 Single Sign-On — identity-provider integration for Keycloak, Auth0, Microsoft Entra ID, and login.gov, with standards-based JWT validation and an SSO sign-in button on the client logon surface.
• Kubernetes-grade health endpoints — /health and /ready on TServer and TWebServices. See the IT Deployment Runbook.
• SolutionCenter API v1.0 — a management-plane REST API (Solutions, Files, License, Machine, Server) with JWT/OIDC auth and an OpenAPI 3.0 spec. See SolutionCenter API Reference.
• Runtime REST API v1.0 — a data-plane REST API for live tag values, alarm state, and historian queries. See Runtime API Reference.
• Tatsoft.FrameworX PowerShell module v1.0.0 — scripted enterprise deployment wrapping the installer, services CLI, and SolutionCenter API.
• UpgradeSolution.exe — a command-line upgrader for legacy 10.1.4 solutions with named backups and failure-safety.
• Security hardening — AutoLogOff duration, TPasswordBox and SecuritySecrets fixes, SQL-injection validation, hardened electronic-signature dialogs, and an opt-in parameterized-query prefix for Dataset authors.

Platform — .NET 10, HTML5, and Mobile

• Runtime on .NET 10 (LTS) — the first release where runtime executables, Web Contents, and Designer Web ship on .NET 10; Designer remains on .NET Framework 4.8. Absorbed at no charge for every 10.x customer.
• Configurable runtime log rotation — log file size limits and daily-archive retention are now configurable per runtime process, supporting long-running unattended deployments.
• HTML5 Web Client — DataGrid column persistence, mobile-browser loading, pinch-to-zoom, DateTimePicker and TrendChart fixes, and a new HTTP image-serving endpoint for embedded viewers.
• Mobile — first iOS Camera integration (QR/barcode scanning and photo capture) for the Mobile FX Client; PDF viewer renders correctly on mobile.
• Stability — connection-stability improvements, Solution Merging reliability, runtime health endpoint with execution profile, and broader unattended-service robustness.

Reports, Scripts, and Toolkit

• Reports — Save as PDF / XPS / HTML on .NET 10 deployments, a new Alarm Linear Gauge, correct Trend Chart rendering in printed reports, and Report Server startup resilience.
• Scripts — bundled libraries for OAuth2 SMTP (Gmail, Microsoft 365), namespace and Script-Class compile fixes, the TK toolkit reorganized into sub-namespaces (existing TK.X scripts keep working), and new helpers including TK.ApplyImageBytesToShape and @Server.Retentive.Snapshot().

Devices and Protocols

• OPC UA — Full ExtensionObject structured-data decoding for CODESYS and WAGO, nested struct browsing, address-space comma preservation, certificate improvements, and tag-import resilience.
• ControlLogix — byte-swap correctness, reliable large imports, Program-scope tag communication, and L5K import.
• Siemens — clarified S7 STRING length handling, automatic legacy address migration, and a consistent XML importer.
• MQTT — TLS 1.1/1.2 connection, Sparkplug B publish-by-name, and shared-dialog certificate upload.
• Other drivers — PEER Protocol / Microlok II, DNP3, SLC/PLC5, PI, BACnet, TwinCAT, Modbus, and ValueSimulator fixes, with case-insensitive driver lookup and tripwire diagnostics.
• Runtime, Historian, and Alarms — connection-stability and redundancy fixes, with the AssetTree path preserved when enabling Historian, Alarm, or Device on nested tags.

Solution Development and DevOps

• Multi-Language UI — Solution Center and Designer localization with Claude-powered .mui translation tooling.
• Within-major compatibility — every 10.1.x solution opens and runs on 10.1.5 without migration; Solution Center multi-version routing handles mixed installs.
• ConsoleMCP workspaces — file-based JSON workspaces with renames, clean-snapshot imports, and headless TServer launches for CI sandboxes.
• DesignerMCP authoring loop — canvas selection plus flip/rotate verbs, ui_action v1.1, a context_menu verb, and more reliable JSON-RPC streaming.
• RuntimeMCP — pre-auth binding introspection and TagProvider runtime state for AI-driven runtime exploration.
• WebData module — REST (all verbs), GraphQL, and MCP-client access from inside the runtime, with a WebData Tools tab in Data Explorer.

Designer

This release closes more than one hundred Designer usability and reliability items — including a Check for Latest Update surface and new About page, DataGrid edit-buffer safety, tag-rename reference repair, Cross Reference navigation, EngWrapper API enumeration support, and many crash, popup, and exception fixes.

Documentation

New pages on docs.tatsoft.com: IT Deployment Runbook, AI Tutor hub, Industrial Ontology Integration, AutoCAD / GIS Tag Importer, Local AI - First Install Walkthrough, MongoDB and QuestDB connector references, Knowledge Graph Control Reference, SolutionCenter API Reference, Runtime API Reference, Tatsoft.FrameworX PowerShell Module Reference, and the Predefined Script Tasks — Client Lifecycle Matrix.

Breaking Changes and Deprecations

• TRadialGauge supersedes three legacy circular gauges. The legacy controls remain available for existing solutions — no migration required.
• Knowledge Graph control rename — the preview-period TOntologyChart is now TKnowledgeGraph, with no back-compatibility alias. Released GA solutions are unaffected.
• Script TK toolkit is reorganized into sub-namespaces; existing TK.X scripts continue to work.

Lifecycle and Support

FrameworX 10.1 Update 5c ships on 2026-06-22 with the platform’s standard within-major-version 100% compatibility commitment — every 10.1.x solution opens and runs without migration or rework.

Update 5c is a free upgrade for every FrameworX 10.x customer. Tatsoft absorbs the runtime transition from .NET 8 to .NET 10 (LTS) so every deployment lands on a Microsoft-supported runtime at the same time, without a budget conversation.

The full lifecycle policy, version support phases, and end-of-support dates for older FrameworX and FactoryStudio versions are documented on the Product Lifecycle and End of Support page.
