As promised, Ignition 8.1.17 is now arriving at the station, bringing with it several major updates and improvements that you surely do not want to miss. In the blog post for our last release, 8.1.16, we dropped hints regarding several major improvements to the Tag Editor in the Ignition designer.

As the morning dew settles and the sun peaks over the horizon, a faint sound can be heard rumbling in the distance. As the sound grows louder, emerging over the ridge, the release train roars into view, firing on all cylinders and bringing with it some exciting new features. Once at the station, Ignition 8.1.10 delivers several new Perspective features, an update to OPC UA and the Vision Module, and other enhancements that will definitely improve your Ignition experience.
Ignition 8.1.8: Visualization Updates, Expression Language, OPC UA, Docker and Much More Arnell Ignacio Wed, 08/04/2021 - 13:03
Moving at a steady pace, the release train has been on the go since Ignition 8.0 was introduced to the world. With all the far reaches the train has traveled, occasionally it needs to come in for maintenance and get a tune-up. Ignition 8.1.8 brings some maintenance updates and "fit and polish" to Ignition, helping to improve stability, quality-of-life, and workflow. Many of the updates in 8.1.8 range widely, touching upon visualization, expressions, and OPC UA, just to name a few.
