The following features are no longer supported at this release:

The original flash-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Alarms & Alarm Generators

There is a set of templates (Layout Templates, Styles, Palettes) provided with every release which needs to be imported during the install/update process. These files should be loaded as part of any fresh install, and they will create a new set of objects on each load. These objects can then be referenced, modified and moved from instance to instance like any user-configured objects.

...

phixflow-datasource.xml

PhixFlow now determines the database dialect automatically - it is no longer necessary to specify the dialect in the phixflow-datasource.xml file.

Info

If upgrading an existing instance, we recommend that you configure this file by copying the template from the release package rather than copying the equivalent file from a previous release.

SQL Server

The PhixFlow install package now correctly includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of sqljdbc_auth.dll. One or other of these files is required to configure PhixFlow to use SQL Server integrated authentication.

...

The user can now delete pipes from the Stream EditorDetails' s list of inputs

Streams
