v4.0.35

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Added

• Memory management documentation introduced.
• Integration tests for communication in the stop/shutdown/abort handlers.

Changed

• When building the SIL Kit documentation, the sphinx build command is no longer called in a pipenv.

Fixed

• Ensured that calling ISystemController::AbortSimulation() does not lead to the system controller
  terminating prior to other participants receiving its abort message.
• Ensure that userContext field for external CanFrameTransmitEvents is allways null.
• Fixed warning in VS2017 (x86) build

v4.0.34

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Changed

• Behavior change of ParticipantState::Error
  • Old: Several situations could lead to an ParticipantState::Error before the user called
    StartLifecycle()
    • Reception of an invalid WorkflowConfiguration
    • Remote participant disconnected
    • Reception of AbortSimulation
  • New: ParticipantState::Error should only be reached after StartLifecycle() was called
    • Reception of a WorkflowConfiguration is not validated before StartLifecycle()
    • A disconnected remote participant is only transitioned to ParticipantState::Error if he had
      a started Lifecycle
    • Reaction on SystemCommang::AbortSimulation is deferred before StartLifecycle() (see below)
• Behavior change of SystemCommand::AbortSimulation
  • Old: Reception of AbortSimulation before StartLifecycle() led to ParticipantState::Error
  • New: Reception of AbortSimulation before StartLifecycle() is firstly ignored. A later call
    to StartLifecycle() then directly leads to an abort (transition to
    ParticipantState::Aborting, calling the AbortHandler)
• clang presets in CMakePresets.json now have the clang version in their names
• Added an internal barrier between ParticipantState::Shutdown and setting the final state
  promise. This ensures that the participant state updates are all transmitted while shutting down.
• Revised log messages when shutting down / disconnecting participants
  • Graceful, participant has lifecycle: "Participant <participantName> has disconnected after
    gracefully shutting down",
  • Not graceful, participant has lifecycle: "Participant <participantName> has disconnected
    without gracefully shutting down."
  • Registry shutdown: "Connection to SIL Kit Registry was lost - no new participant connections can
    be established."
  • Participant without lifecycle: "Participant <participantName> has disconnected."

Fixed

• Made simulation time stop for all coordinated participants when one coordinated participant
  disconnects ungracefully

v4.0.33

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Added

• New experimental extension of the LIN API that allows a user to send frame headers and respond to
  them without setting up a static configuration beforehand.
• Added link to FMU importer in Readme.md

Changed

• Restructured the documentation to have separate sections for overview. It is now divided into an
  overall introduction, a developer guide, and a user guide.
• Removed internal use of exceptions for failing connections to the registry if another connection
  mechanism succeeded.

Fixed

• Fixed missing entry of RegistryAsFallbackProxy in YAML schema.

v4.0.32

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

This is a Quality Assured Release.

Fixed

• Ensure that the registry rejects a connecting participant if a participant with the same name is
  already connected.

v4.0.31

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Added

• Improved Lifecycle and TimeSyncService features:
  • Full support for Operation Mode Autonomous with TimeSyncService including hopping onto / leaving
    a running simulation
  • Abort simulation in case Coordinated participants want to join a running simulation
  • Abort simulation in case an Autonomous with TimeSyncService sees an incompatible participant

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in internal barriers where in-between connecting participants could break the
  communicaiton guarantees
• Fixed transition when aborting from ErrorState, now the state changes to Shutdown like all
  aborting paths (formery the transition was to ShuttingDown)
• Internal fixes for thread-safety
• Fixed that the SimTask cannot be triggered again after calling ILifecycleService::Stop() in the
  SimTask

Changed

• CreateLifecycleService with OperationMode::Invalid now throws a ConfigurationError
• Improved documentation on how to run demos in asynchronous mode

v4.0.30

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Added

• Added optional timeout mechanism to RPC service.

Fixed

• Fix builds with CMake versions before 3.19
• Fixed crash in SilKitRpcDemo when run with <config> Client --async without a server.

Changed

• SIL Kit Demos (Can, Ethernet, Rpc, Lin, and PubSub) with --async now use an autonomous
  lifecycle.
• Refactored documentation for participant configurations: The intent was made clearer, noting that
  it is an optional feature.

v4.0.29

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Fixed

• Registry: Set windows service state to stopped on error

v4.0.28

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Added

• Added documentation for Data Serialization/Deserialization (SerDes) API

Fixed

• Fixed inconsistencies in API documentation
• Fixed starting the registry without the --registry-configuration parameter

v4.0.27

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Changed

• Added detection of simulation start and end for the dashboard.
  • The simulation id initialization is deferred until the first dashboard relevant event happens.
  • A simulation is considered as ended, when the last participant disconnects.

Added

• SIL Kit Registry (sil-kit-registry(.exe))
  • Support for overriding command line settings via a YAML configuration file

v4.0.26

Refer to the Changelog for details.
The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Added

• Introducing an internal communication barrier between participant states. This happens in the
  transition from the states ServicesCreated to CommunicationInitializing and from Stopped to
  ShuttingDown. It leads to extended communication guarantees in the CommunicationReadyHandler,
  primarily for participants that use the autonomous lifecycle (see the documentation for details).

Fixed

• Corrected spelling mistakes in the documentation
• The dashboard is disabled for cross-builds to QNX, to avoid build errors
