Changes that May Require Project Changes

• None

Improvements to the SHIPTide experience

• Fixed two memory leaks that grew Windows memory usage dramatically over time, slowed the system down, and eventually ground your SHIPTide session to a halt
• Gradients were being rendered backwards in SHIPTide (SHIPEngine was correct); fixed
• Occasionally during reboots/restarts of the connected SIM, SHIPTide's connection manager would cause a SHIPTide crash; fixed
• SIM template (the configuration of the hardware reflected in the GUI Reference Manuals) fixes:
  • Several templates were not reflecting the actual number of UARTs available
  • Removed SIM102 & SIM205 templates since these platforms are not supported in SHIPv5
  • CAN removed from all templates since we do not support protocols directly over CAN
• Initial support for the new "Raw" protocol was implemented in addition to Modbus; do not use this feature yet -- it is for lead customer testing and likely will have issues
• Placeholder for the upcoming SHIPBridge Data Service protocol; do not use this feature yet
