BaSyx / Releases and Features

Existing Releases

Java Release 1.5.0

Features:

• RBAC can now be configured based on submodel SemanticId
• Reworks MongoDB backend implementation to be stateless, thus enabling better scaling
• Adds compatibility for inconsistently specified dataTypes (allows upercase)
• Adds ConnectedEntity for working with remote Entity SMEs
• Adds support for implementing further EmbeddedDataSpecification

Bugfixes:

• Fixes empty assets in AAS when deserializing from XML/AASX
• Fixes RBAC configuration file not being read from file system
• Adds missing ValueType "decimal"
• Fixes File SubmodelElement's files sometimes not being served
• Fixes order of calls to AAS Server & AAS Registry in case of AAS/Submodel deletion to ensure consistent state in registry
• Fixes collisions in case of loading multiple AASX that included files with same file name
• Fixes AASX upload ignoring files included in AASX
• Fixes submodel elements being duplicated in MongoDB when being created in an SMC

Miscellaneous:

• Renames "registry.host" entry of AAS Server configuration to "aas.externalurl" to highlight its intention and avoid confusion. "registry.host" still works to ensure backward compatibility.

Java Release 1.4.0

Features:

• AAS/Submodels added to the AAS Server are now automatically registered with the Registry, if configured
• File SubmodelElements now support upload/download of files by a dedicated HTTP/REST API
  • Upload via HTTP/POST [1] (path-to-file-submodelelement/File/upload)
  • Download via HTTP/GET [1] (path-to-file-submodelelement/File)
  • Supported for both InMemory and MongoDB backend
• If a file is uploaded to a File SubmodelElement, the value of the File SubmodelElement is automatically adapted
• The ConnectedAASManager now tries all endpoints and takes the first working one
  • This is particulary useful in reverse-proxy scenarios where only certain endpoints may be valid depending on the context

Bugfixes:

• Fixes bug where aasx file unpacking could fail
• Fixes scenarios where an mqtt client was not shut down correctly
• Fixes signals like SIGTERM not being correctly propagated to the Docker components
  • Shutting down an AAS Server gracefully now unregisters every contained AAS/Submodel, if a registry is configured

Java Release 1.3.1

• Fixes OperationVariable's internal representation of SMC & Entity
• Adds missing date valuetype
• Adds missing Wget installation to components' Dockerfiles for Health Checks
• Fixes MongoDBSubmodelAPI value retrieval bug
• Fixes delegated operation handling in MongoDBSubmodelAPI
• Removes _id entry from aas/sm where not already removed for MongoDB
• Enables auto reconnect for mqtt connection
• Fixes missing mapping of mqtt client environment variable
• Adds missing default config for mqtt to docker images

Java Release 1.3

• Hierarchical MQTT Topics for AASServer and AASRegistry with flexible Identifier encoding
  • Base64URL encoding
  • URL encoding
• Property Delegation
• Adds MongoDB backend for tagged directory
• Each component now provides a health endpoint
