Version 2.2.0 comes with a lot of new features and got some <br />good enhancements under the surface.<br /><br />The new key features are:<br />- support for Mitsubishi MELSFOT IEC files<br />- the function block call model converter<br /><br />Next the support for infoteam&rsquo;s OpenPCS has started. First files<br />of OpenPCS will be accepted as plain text POUs. Later seperated<br />entries in the file open and save dialogs will be added. The sources <br />are very clean, so there is only something to do regarding the file<br />extension management in PLCEdit. <br /><br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Dev Report No. 10</title><dc:creator>PLCEdit.org</dc:creator><category>PLCEdit News</category><dc:date>2009-12-18T17:39:19+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/aecf102f9bd4e05a904306e7ba81e5f8-30.php#unique-entry-id-30</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/aecf102f9bd4e05a904306e7ba81e5f8-30.php#unique-entry-id-30</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I know, I said we will see a new version until end of October. Now we&rsquo;ve <br />mid of December. I&rsquo;m sorry but I had a joyous occasion in private. <br />And next I&rsquo;ve  found some problems in using the beediff source for the file <br />differencing function. I think I have to rewrite a lot of routines to hold the <br />promise &bdquo;never create any registry entries&ldquo; and to make the differencing<br />really work. <br /><br />So, for the moment I&rsquo;ve canceled the file differencing function and will only <br />have a look to the function block call conversion functionality and the new<br />Mitsubishi Melsoft support. <br />Hopefully I&rsquo;m able to release version 2.2.0 during the next week or better<br />before the new year is there...]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Dev Report No. 9</title><dc:creator>PLCEdit.org</dc:creator><category>PLCEdit News</category><dc:date>2009-10-04T17:15:00+02:00</dc:date><link>http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/5bd9830bd937127a90cdf5c22fda2a11-28.php#unique-entry-id-28</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/5bd9830bd937127a90cdf5c22fda2a11-28.php#unique-entry-id-28</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The release v2.1.2 is nearly two and a half month old and during the last<br />time PLCEdit got some changes according to the announced ToDo list.<br />But the work would take a few month in addition if we want to leave the <br />list unchanged. The current feature improvements have reached a status<br />which allows a speedy release. So, what are the selected features?<br /><br /><strong>- file comparision and differencing utility:</strong><br />&nbsp; a dialog window which shows two POUs side by side with in<br />&nbsp; color highlighted differences; implemented as context menu<br />&nbsp; of each page; comes with optional file open dialog<br /><strong>- function block call conversion: </strong><br />&nbsp; enhanced POU compatibility by converting function block calls <br />&nbsp; into the appointed IDE call model; can be used as setting for <br />&nbsp; the file save routines and as option for the batch processing<br /><strong>- support for Mitsubishi MELSOFT: </strong><br />&nbsp; support for .asc export files; supported CONFIGURATION files/sections<br /><strong><em>- updates:</em></strong><br />&nbsp; enhanced support of TYPE definitions; <br />&nbsp; FUNCTION dialog with user defined data types<br /><br />The upcomming release will not yet include the PLCOpen XML support.<br />The implementation takes to much time and would delay the release <br />until 2010. <br />For now there must be some points fixed regarding the file diff utility. <br />So, I hope we have 2.2.0 ready this month.<br /><br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Dev Report No. 8</title><dc:creator>PLCEdit.org</dc:creator><category>PLCEdit News</category><dc:date>2009-08-17T06:00:00+02:00</dc:date><link>http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/4a8212589c33cd8d79f6010a98c6dc29-27.php#unique-entry-id-27</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/4a8212589c33cd8d79f6010a98c6dc29-27.php#unique-entry-id-27</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I think it is once again the time to give a report about the development <br />status of PLCEdit. Now we have version 2.1.x and I think PLCEdit is a<br />well featured editor. But the development remains fully active to fit the <br />requirements of the daily work.<br /><br />Regarding to the latest ToDo list I&rsquo;ve started to include a file differencing<br />dialog. Therefore I&rsquo;ve added code from <a href="http://www.beesoft.org/index.php?id=beediff" rel="external">beediff</a>, a Qt based opensource <br />project. Thanks to Piotr Pszczolkowski! A first quick and dirty setup works <br />pretty cool. <br /><br />I&rsquo;ve also started to include a functionblock call convert function which will <br />be part of the batch routine and file ave routine as well. It should help to <br />make POU ouputs more compatible to the appointed IDE. I think it will be <br />a lot of work and maybe some conversions will not supported.<br /><br />Both features will be part of the next release. If you have some other ideas, <br />something new ore any regarding the new features please let me know.<br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Release v2.1.2</title><dc:creator>PLCEdit.org</dc:creator><category>Announcements</category><dc:date>2009-07-27T20:02:00+02:00</dc:date><link>http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/1405169b4d0d5d97b229f4cbc4e1d99a-25.php#unique-entry-id-25</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/1405169b4d0d5d97b229f4cbc4e1d99a-25.php#unique-entry-id-25</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[22 Days later - the second update for version 2.1 is out - v2.1.2.<br />This time I tried to clean the code base of PLCEdit and to include<br />smart enhancement - a unsaved file notification.

And so there is an option<br />in the preferences to disable such bitchily nags ;)<br />The asterisk in the file list and on the tabs is maybe more useful.<br /><br />I&rsquo;ve also fixed some issues regarding the recent files list and the<br />print output.

Further I had included<br />a few ideas and feature requestst.  In total, this represents a new version. :)<br /><br />The Import/Export routines were revised to be more faster and better in file <br />processing. Especially CoDeSys users will be happy about this update, because <br />comments at the declaration section will now accpeted at this position.<br />A default POU extension for new files can be selected at the preferences dialog.<br />Next the jumping of the pages element is solved. If Qt4.5.x is used the tab bar<br />looks a litle bit more professional (close Button in every tab, movable tabs).<br />But on Mac OS X the metal tool bar gets lost because this option is switched off<br />by using Qt 4.5, to prevent a fixed minimum size of 1000px for the main window.<br />The function block call dialog has now an option to include existing comments <br />of the block I/Os into the call model. This was a very good feature suggestion. <br />It helps a lot for source documentation.<br />I hate replace all functions, but yo&rsquo;ve annoyed me enough at this point and now<br />here it is. It starts at the current position in the active window. At the end of the<br />window it tells you that it is ready to do it on the opposite window, but waits <br />until you hit the button again.<br />At least I&rsquo;ve prepared the support for TYPE definitions. It is experimental and<br />works for CoDeSys export files only.<br /><br />And what will be next?<br /><u>Here is the new todo list:</u><br />- enhancement of the batch processing + including a CAL-converter <br />- PLCopen support<br />- enhancement of the TYPE defintion support<br />- file comparison and differencing utility<br /><br />The CAL-convert function could help to make POUs more compatible to other<br />IDEs. It would be a great upgrade for the batch routine.<br />Maybe the adaption of an existing opensource file diff project could be done<br /> without too much work. At least file diff tools are very useful for professional <br />work. For now have a look at this <a href="http://www.thefreecountry.com/programming/filecomparison.shtml" rel="external" title="file diff utilities">page</a>.<br />The PLCopen support is a nice to have but it would fit well the basic idea of <br />PLCEdit - to be the missing link between the PLC IDEs.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Release v2.0.4</title><dc:creator>PLCEdit.org</dc:creator><category>Announcements</category><dc:date>2009-05-16T11:45:00+02:00</dc:date><link>http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/f57d5e81f29664a42f5ed02dd8496490-21.php#unique-entry-id-21</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/f57d5e81f29664a42f5ed02dd8496490-21.php#unique-entry-id-21</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Version 2.0.4 is released.

PLCEdit has reached the same amount <br />of functionality as v0.9.9 with the old development toolkit. <br />Some new features are also included. The handling of <br />CoDeSys v2.3.x .EXP files was improved - I think it was <br />a knock-out criterion for this version.<br /><br />What's left or missing in this version? <br />The crc checksum support for Sucosoft POU files gives me<br />a headache. I don&rsquo;t know if it will be done for version 2.0.<br /><br />Next, I have some ideas about translating the Moeller function <br />block calls into CoDeSys (and other distributions) compliant <br />calls. A menu to include/call function blocks wich are opened<br />in PLCEdit is one of my favorites. At least it would be nice to<br />have a file comparison function.<br />I think this are good milestones for version 2.1 and up.<br /><br /><u>The actual todo list:</u><br />- fixing some minor bugs, wich are still hiding]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>v2.0b Dev Report No. 6</title><dc:creator>PLCEdit.org</dc:creator><category>PLCEdit News</category><dc:date>2008-12-10T20:15:58+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/c66d4ed6cbe780290679490517a776a3-11.php#unique-entry-id-11</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.plcedit.org/blog/files/c66d4ed6cbe780290679490517a776a3-11.php#unique-entry-id-11</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[A lot of work was done.
