Translating language using rlIniFile i18n added.
04-May-2009: pvbrowser 4.3.8 Clicking on SVG objects now sends the correct BoundsOnElement for complex objects also (SVG objects can now produce clicked events). This is due to a bug fix in Qt 4.5. The fix is in effect on windows and linux systems that already use Qt 4.5 (The mac version will be updated soon). Help Files for the Qt Creator IDE are available under Download->Additional.
23-Mar-2009: Now binary packages are also available for Debian/Ubuntu (not only openSUSE/Fedora/Mandrake).
Search for "pvbrowser" at openSUSE Buildservice .
17-Mar-2009: User "rkl099" from our forum contributed an implementation of the
DCON protocol

rlSiemensTcp now checks if you tried to access non existant DB objects (Thanks to patch from Victor Centelles).
QInputDialog fixed to support UTF8 also.
You can allocate additional widgets after the widgets that are designed graphically by setting "p->num_additional_widgets = number;" before constructing your mask. Thus you can construct additional widgets also by algorithm.
15-Dec-2008: pvbrowser-4.3.4 some new functions for OpenGL support.
11-Nov-2008: IPv6 now supported.
03-Oct-2008: published pvbrower-4.3.1 fixing issues since july 2008.

running a pvserver and data acquisition on a ICP DAS Lincon 8000 series ARM based system.
12-Feb-2008: Thanks to Kurt Braun we now support Allen Bradley PLC's Ethernet/IP with the use of
TuxEIP .
pvbrowser now also supports tabbed browsing. That is, you can connect to many pvservers at the same time
using 1 tab for each pvserver. Attention: When testing tabbed browsing we detected a problem within the
pvserver library. Because the pvserver can be multi threaded critical sections must be locked/unlocked.
It turned out that memory free() isn't thread save and must be also handled as a critical section.
This problem is now fixed within the library. Thus you need to recompile your pvserver in order
to take advantage of this fix.
29-Jan-2008: updated documentation.
04-Jan-2008: Added support for Python programming within pvserver. Added import/export for Qt Designer ui-files.
09-Dec-2007: Fixed some minor issues. We wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.

Since our port of the Qt2 Series to OpenVMS has not been integrated by Trolltech, only pvserver development is supported under OpenVMS.
Otherwise on OpenVMS we would have no QTable, Qwt, OpenGL and VTK available.
08-Mar-2006: License clearyfied.
Trying to found a joined venture. More is following.
Packages updated.
pvserver development is easier on Linux (Qt Designer Version 3). On Windows install MS VisualC++ 6.0 or higher.
OpenGL and VTK have to be fixed on Linux. Windows OK.
19-Feb-2006: Added Sourceforge-Link to topic->home
16-Jan-2006: DSL Problem in our Hometown
04-Dec-2005: Branched a commercial version of pvbrowser.
Best regards:
Sebastian Lehrig,
Finkenstr. 3,
D-57368 Lennestadt-Saalhausen
14-Nov-2005: New Subversion. pvbrowser can be compiled using GCC4. New functions: pvMysqldump()
pvCSVcreate()
pvCSVdump()
pvCSV()
27-Aug-2005: Preview of pvbrowser with Qt4.0.1 .
QWT is currently commented out.
Qt4 must be improved before release.
22-Aug-2005: New subversion 2.8.2 of pvbrowser.
Extended generator ui2pvc (Assignment of physical values from within Qt Designer).
Extended pvbuilder.
Extended online help system.
18-Aug-2005: We really tried to provide Netscape Plugins of pvbrowser for Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera.
For this we used the classes provided by Qt. The result is very disappointing. The plugin is very very slow.
And furthermore it has different quality in the different browsers and under Linux and Windows.
In contrast the kpart for konqueror runs practiacally as good as the standalone pvbrowser.
Thus we will not propagate browser plugins.
06-Aug-2005: New version 2.8 of pvbrowser.
pvbrowser provides a kpart for integration into konqueror or firefox now.
Layout Management is now implemented. Input Layout in Qt Designer. Code will be generated by ui2pvc.
Soap XML file, containing widget information can be generated by ui2pvc.
02-Jul-2005: ui2pvc will optionally generate a soap xml file.
Using the information in the xml file, you can generate the code for data acquisition.
This can be used to create pvservers without manual programming.
02-Jul-2005: Integration of Hilscher Profibus cards is delayed, because Hilscher currently does not provide support for PCMCIA Profibus cards.
We first will have to extend the Hilscher driver.
26-Mar-2005: Today I made a fix in rlSiemensTCP. "Merker" and "Datenbaustein" had been
exchanged. Please load rllib from our download page.
19-Mar-2005: Today we have tested Siemens S7-300 PLC. Now Siemens S7-200, S7-300 and S7-400 are tested.
Please load rllib from our download page.
09-Mar-2005: Today I received a PROFIBUS-DP/FMS-Master card + PROFIBUS-DP-Slave Testboard. I will be busy for a while.
08-Mar-2005: Data Acquisition now integrated in pvbuilder.
06-Mar-2005: External plot tools like
gnuplot or ploticus
may be used in pvbrowser. These tools will produce temporary files. For these temporary files you may use p->file_prefix
so that file names become unique. The temporary files starting with p->file_prefix will be automatically deleted when
the user disconnects. Start the plot tool from pvserver using system(). The result of the plot tools will be a bitmap file.
Use pvDownloadFileAs() and pvSetImage() to
bind these bitmap files into your visualization.
Example.
06-Mar-2005: Users of rllib reported that rlSiemensTCP works with S7-400 and corresponding VIPA PLC's.
You have to configure fetch/write on your PLC. S7-200 has been tested before. S7-300 is not tested jet.
06-Mar-2005: pvbrowser now has a new application "pvbuilder". Using "pvbuilder" you can create and maintain pvserver projects.
Simply choose "File->new visualization" to create a new project. When Qt Designer pops up, create a new dialog with all your widgets.
After this you can run your pvserver the first time.
It is also possible to define PLC access from "pvbuilder".
06-Mar-2005: Forum closed because of destructive elements in the internet.
