Config Persistence
Platform Core
Fixed
Added a `getStartupState` to the `ConfigurationManager` which can be used to retrieve different Gateway startup states.
Platform Core
Fixed
Fixed an issue where some API routes would allow projects to be created with 'overlapping' names that differed only by name. This is not allowed to account for case-insensitive filesystems.
Platform Core
Fixed
Improved validation of the gateway/system name across the platform. Where possible, invalid gateway names (those containing a | character) will be rejected outright, or if necessary escaped to an underscore. Other characters including non-ASCII Unicode and emoji are supported but may cause minor rendering issues in other areas.
Databases
Platform Core
Fixed
JDBC Drivers now prevent classname collisions when creating new JDBC Drivers to prevent load failures in the underlying subsystem.
Designer
Swing
Fixed
Fixed a problem where when "Set XML From Clipboard" is used on Templates, it renders the Template unable to be opened.
Drivers
Comms
Fixed
Changed default max gap size to -1.
Comms
Fixed
Fixed a bug that caused timestamps received from OPC UA servers with a value of `1601-01-01T00:00:00.000Z` to be treated as if they were valid instead of null.
Comms
Fixed
Fixed a ByteBuf reference counting leak in TCP/UDP drivers.
Comms
Fixed
Fixed an issue where a gateway crash could occur when reading or writing to a PLC tag with arbitrary quotes in the item path after browsing an array on the PLC that contained the same tag.
EAM & Redundancy
Gateway Network
Fixed
EAM remote upgrade task alternate URL function now uses gateway's installed certificates to download from SSL URLs
Gateway Network
Fixed
Fixed an issue where redundant network connections would result in the Diagnostics page reporting the wrong number of Remote Gateways.

Gateway Network
Fixed
Fixed issue where Python dictionaries and lists could not be sent from a Designer or Vision client to a remote gateway via the gateway network.
Gateway Network
Fixed
Updated EAM Send Stats default interval to 45 seconds
Gateway Network
Changed
The gateway network now uses its own thread pool to process incoming messages. This will eliminate the issue of the gateway UI becoming unresponsive when handling a large volume of gateway network requests. Note: any users that use a large hub-and-spoke gateway network system may need to tweak the new Data Channel Thread Pool Max Size on the hub gateway's General Gateway Network Settings page, especially if they have increased the "gateway.maxThreads" setting in gateway.xml in the past.
