You have probably already noticed the new and uniform<br></div><div>logos for the EtherLab software components. Now there is also a new<br></div><div>homepage: <a href="https://etherlab.org">https://etherlab.org</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Recently there have also been some major changes under as well as above<br></div><div>the hood.<br></div><div><br></div><div>PdCom [1], our library for process data communication has got a modern<br></div><div>C++ and Python interface, which has resulted in the main version 5. The<br></div><div>Python API provides a simple interface for connecting third-party<br></div><div>systems, automating processes and generating protocols. Encryption and<br></div><div>authentication are also now natively supported. We are currently busy<br></div><div>migrating the dependent libraries and applications to PdCom 5.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The Testmanager application was also enhanced with several<br></div><div>features, such as broadcasts, table widgets, encryption and<br></div><div>authorization, parameter sets and a revised dialog for variable<br></div><div>connections. Early adopters are welcome to try this package [3].<br></div><div><br></div><div>The Data Logging Service (DLS) has been given an HDF5 export option.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The general goal is to make all software components available in the<br></div><div>Open Build Service [2] for openSUSE, Debian, Raspbian Fedora and<br></div><div>Ubuntu. We are always busy on the side to support new versions of the<br></div><div>different distributions.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We will gradually introduce the new features on LinkedIn [4] as well.<br></div><div>You are welcome to follow us.<br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://gitlab.com/etherlab.org/pdcom">https://gitlab.com/etherlab.org/pdcom</a><br></div><div>[2] <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/science:EtherLab">https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/science:EtherLab</a><br></div><div>[3] <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/science:EtherLab/testmanager-ng-pdcom5">https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/science:EtherLab/testmanager-ng-pdcom5</a></div><div>[4] <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/igh-gmbh">https://www.linkedin.com/company/igh-gmbh</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><span><pre>-- <br></pre><div>Best regards,</div><div>Florian</div></span></div></body></html>
