Version History

Application Domain oriented Version Management

• Versioning of communication objects in a central repository with interface to MS Source-Safe.
• Vehicle projects, networks and signals can be modified and versioned independently.
• Simultaneous editing of different networks and vehicle projects by several users.
• The work of different users is coordinated by the version management functions.
• Version management functions: Add a new object to the repository, check-Out an existing ob-ject from the repository and perform changes to the object exclusively, release changes of a new object version with the Check-In operation, dismiss the changes with an Undo-Check-Out operation.

• Support of signal values for not-valid value and initial/default value.
• Support of FIBEX version 2.0.1.
• The values for user defined attributes of a set of objects can be reset to their default values by a single user operation.
• New column "Receiver" added to the list of network/cluster signals.
• The creation of an object can be canceled completely with the object dialog’s “Cancel” button.
• Dialogs fields to enter values in either decimal or hexadecimal format (signal raw values, mes-sage IDs, LIN slave nodes product IDs) indicate the current format. A light green background indicates hexadecimal format, a dark yellow background indicates decimal format.
