new property ”passwordMode” for: Numeric Input, Numeric Output, Text Input, Text Output

OI fw 1.12 Release Build Jan 19 2023

Database sources: Up to 1.11 oib databases were rather component based – user selected component and then had to enter all db connection settings (db name, db table or sql query, etc.). Since 1.11 oib databases are more data oriented – user first defines and manages all database sources in new dialog from menu Tools → Database Collection. Afterwards those db sources can be assigned to the components. Also one db source can be used by multiple components.

Config Screen - Store Configuration Permanently: displays green OK message if save was successful, or red message if failed. One reason why store configuration might fail is if internal compact flash is mounted as read-only because FAT file system is corrupted.
Config Screen - Hardware Configuration - Storage: displays information if disk is mounted as read-only. All disks should be normally mounted as read-write. Read-only indicates that there is probably some trouble with file system.
External script components: added debug logging, see [[external_script_component&#debugging]]
External script components: bugfixes

Linux BUGFIX: component was sometimes placed on the screen with wrong position after screen load
application load: if component position is 0,0 (top left corner) and its size is 1x1 pixels (component could be set this way in the past because of previous bug) then the component is resized to 30x30 pixels (position is kept 0,0) so user can see it and place it to correct position on the screen or remove it.
BUGFIX: fixed saving of script directory if application contains any HTTP/Shell script component
OI Linux distribution:
lighttpd: reconfigured to send error log and access log to system log so it is properly limited and rotated

Ad-hoc wifi timeout period setting button is not enabled on Ad-Hoc Wireless Setup dialog.(OS, 11/13/2012)
OI 1.9 Build Nov 13 2012
User may set timeout period for Ad-hoc network on Wireless Setup dialog. It provides a multistate push button with states Disabled and 1 through 8 hours. We can label this as “Ad-hoc Network Automatic Timeout”.
The default timeout period for Ad-hoc network is set to be 4 hours to be consistent with the remote support timeout scheme. This value is set when user first change the Ad-hoc network state from None to Wireless - Wlan0.
To start the timer (in case the timer timed out, to restart the timer) and activate the Ad-hoc network, a user must press Apply on the Network configuration dialog.
There should be a movable banner indicating the remaining time when the Ad-hoc network automatic disable timer is enabled and Ad-hoc network is active. When the timer is up, the wireless interface is shut down and banner removed from the screen.
The new static message below the WEP setting field should now read “Note: Entered settings will take effect when the Apply button is pressed in the Network Configuration dialog. This also restarts the Ad-hoc network automatic disable timer.”
When the timer is enabled, the Ad-hoc network is by default shut down when OI or the HMI is restarted.
When the timer is disabled, there would be no banner indicating the Ad-hoc network is active. The interface becomes active when the settings are applied at the Network Configurations dialog. The interface remains active even after OI restart or HMI reboot. To disable the Ad-hoc network explicitly, change the Ad-hoc network state from Wireless - Wlan0 to None. (Don, 10/26/2012)

User Management dialog, change the title “Serial RF ID Reader” to “RFID Reader”. Change messages referencing “serial port” to simply “port”. E.g. currently, we have message such as “Not connected... Cannot open serial port USB_CDC_ACM1”, instead, change it to simply “Cannot open port …”.
Network Configuration dialog window size needs to be slightly bigger by default to display all available tabs at once.
