Raylux 1.0.9: Screens

This release fixes operator screens that stopped showing some of their values once a page carried a large number of live tags, and makes a newly uploaded image appear on open screens without reloading the browser. We recommend it for every gateway serving busy screens.

Screens

• Busy screens show every value again. A single browser tab could follow at most 256 tags. On a large page — a process overview with its side panels, say — anything past that limit showed a dash while the tag itself was reading perfectly well. The limit is now 5,000 per tab and can be changed in the gateway configuration without a restart.
• A screen asks for each tag once. When several parts of a page show the same tag, the screen now follows it once and shares the value, which cuts traffic between the browser and the gateway on dense pages.
• If the gateway ever does refuse a tag, you see it. The affected value is marked with the usual binding-error indicator instead of a silent dash, so it can no longer pass for a reading.
• A newly uploaded image appears on open screens straight away. Previously, uploading a logo or picture while a screen was open left a placeholder in its place until the browser was reloaded, even after refreshing the project. Replacing an image with a new version under the same name now shows the new version too.

Does this affect me?

• Your screens have many live values on one page, or several side panels — yes, install this release. If a value on a busy page has ever shown a dash while the tag read fine elsewhere, this is why.
• You add or change images in a project while operators are watching — yes. They will see the change without reloading.
• Everything else is unchanged. Your projects, tags, history, alarms and users are kept when you install over an earlier 1.0 release, and nothing needs to be reconfigured.

Installing

• Windows: Windows Server 2019 or later, or Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. The gateway installs as a Windows service and starts on boot. Installing over an earlier 1.0 release keeps your projects, tags, history and users. These downloads are not code-signed yet, so Windows will warn you the first time you run one.
• Linux: x86-64. Ubuntu 24.04 or later, Debian 13 or later, Fedora 39 or later, or RHEL, Rocky or Alma 10 or later. Install over an earlier package to upgrade; your data in /var/lib/raylux is kept. Studio and Lens are Windows-only; the gateway serves operator screens to any browser. The packages are not signed yet.
