This discussion was created from the release v2.8.0_pre.

[fabiodurao]

Congratulations to the entire Scada-LTS development team; this release will certainly be a milestone in the project's history. I know there's sometimes a distance between the community and the developers, but I can speak on behalf of the majority of Scada-LTS users in Brazil (about 500 integrators) that we were very eager for this release with all its new features, and we were delighted to see the notification of the new release on Friday.

If I may, I'd like to ask a question and two requests. If this is version v2.8.0_pre, I imagine it's not yet the final version v2.8.0. What's missing for this release?

I'd like to request the creation of the installer for Windows and Linux.

[Limraj]

Hi @fabiodurao,
Thank you for your kind words. We also plan to make XSS fixes and improve the performance of the point search component, for example, with chart image component on graphical view, but this component is used in many other places, in other graphical components for which points are set (where you set multiple or one point), two such components are in point properties, in pointlinks, in meta data points, in Set Point type handlers, in publishers and in other places (scripts, reports).

We will reduce this wait time from over a minute to seconds for a 10,000-point configuration, for image chart component: https://github.com/SCADA-LTS/Scada-LTS/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20milestone%3A2.8.1

1. CVE-2021-26829 Mitigation Guidance [System settings] #3197 CVE-2021-26829 Mitigation Guidance (progress)
2. Hide user information in DWR #3178 Hide user information in DWR (complete)
3. Updated REST API with incoming data for XSS protection #3174 Updated REST API with incoming data for XSS protection (complete)
4. Fixed escaping fields #3167 Fixed escaping fields (progress)
5. Very slow editing of graphical chart #2779 Very slow editing of graphical chart (progress)

We also recommend a gradual rollout to integrators, starting with the one with the lowest risk. If, after using this version for a while, everything is fine, then gradually migrate to the others.

I will definitely prepare installer versions for 2.8.1. (This is the improved version 2.8.0)

Best regards.

[fabiodurao]

I'm testing this version and I'll take the opportunity to make some observations for you all; if they are bugs, perhaps they will be resolved in the next version. Firstly, I'm using a virtualized Windows Server 2022 with the language set to Portuguese (related to the UTF8 problem). Since SLTS 2.8 doesn't yet have an installer, I installed version 2.7.8.1, stopped Tomcat, deleted the Scada.war file and the Scada-LTS folder, and using the DBMS, I deleted the existing database, created a new one, placed the 2.8 .war file there, and started it. In each message, I will report something I found.

1. Now the stylesheet is working better in terms of scrolling, but apparently CSS doesn't accept some things like RGB transparency; perhaps it doesn't accept CSS3 yet:

This is possible:
color: #848484;

But this is not possible:
color: #848484ff;

I also tried using an external font and it also came up as invalid:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans:wght@400;700&display=swap");

Hi @fabiodurao,

1. We have CSS file validation. We're using a CSS3-compliant validator here, but the color code you're trying to set isn't compliant with that standard. If you want transparency, you can use opacity, or other color definition: rgba (example rgba(255, 99, 71, 0.5) the fourth parameter is transparency) or hsla: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors.asp

2. However, an external source might be blocked by the CSP: You need to add allow address to this definition (In System Settings):

Added font-src https://fonts.gstatic.com 'self':

{
  "Content-Security-Policy": "default-src 'self';style-src 'unsafe-inline' 'self';script-src 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' 'self';img-src data: 'self';frame-src 'self';object-src 'none';base-uri 'self';font-src https://fonts.gstatic.com 'self'"
}

And correct url font, select variant font from:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans:wght@400;700&display=swap

Example:

@font-face {
  font-family: myFont;
  src: url("https://fonts.gstatic.com/l/font?kit=o-0mIpQlx3QUlC5A4PNB6Ryti20_6n1iPHjcz6L1SoM-jCpoiyD9A-9a6VTYyWtZ3rI&skey=2b960fe17823056f&v=v42");
}

#top-description {
    font-family: myFont;
    color: rgba(255, 99, 71, 0.5) !important;
    font-size: 2em !important;
    display: inline-block !important;
    line-height: 1 !important;
}

It is worth remembering that the definition of what we want to use in CSS should be before use.

And now what you wanted to achieve is working.

Best regards.

Hi @fabiodurao,
Thanks for your tests and information. If anything else comes up, feel free to report it. Now you have confirmed that the CSS validator and CSP security work.

Best regards.

[fabiodurao]

Thanks, this worked fine

[fabiodurao]

In the watchlist, the folders are no longer in alphabetical order, it seems to me that they are in order of creation.

[Limraj]

Hi @fabiodurao,
It's probably always worked this way. We're talking about sorting folders here, not points, sorting points should be fine.

[fabiodurao]

You're right, I tested it on version 2.7.8 and the alphabetical order doesn't exist. It would be nice to have alphabetical order by default in the watch list folders, but if they solve the problem I reported in the hierarchy, about being able to move the folders to the root directory, it would be possible to manually reorder the folders and organize them better.

[fabiodurao]

The new function of moving several datapoints at a time in the hierarchy was fantastic, I just had two difficulties:

1. During the organization process, I ended up moving one folder into another by mistake, I was no longer able to move it back to the root. To get around it, I created a new folder at the root and moved the datapoints to it, and then deleted the folder that was in the wrong place;
2. Some datasources were duplicated and the datapoints ended up being organized within the same folder as the source datasource, when I created the new folder, there were cases where it was too low, outside of what was visible on the page, and I was unable to drag the components down into the new folder, what was expected is that when pulling the mouse down, the screen would scroll down by itself following the mouse or something similar, but I had to create a folder within the current folder, move it there and then move this folder to the destination folder, then move the datapoints to the destination folder and finally delete this folder used to move everything.

[fabiodurao]

I also had a lot of problems with accents and special characters, in the image, the datapoint had the original name of "Nível do Decantador", in other parts the name appears correctly, but it is impossible to search for datapoint names. In this case, I removed all the accents and special characters, because it was very disruptive, but reading in Portuguese is impaired.

[fabiodurao]

I found a bug in the meta datapoints. It seems to be related to refresh and caching.

When I click to edit a datapoint, it loads correctly in the edit window, I can change and save it. When I click to edit a second datapoint, the edit window/form loads correctly, except for the context datapoints, and if I try to save, it gives an error referencing the "Var" (alias) of the datapoint saying it's duplicated.

The workaround I found was: after editing and saving the datapoint, I press F5 (refresh) and then edit the second datapoint. This way it works normally, but it took me a while to understand. I believe this is a critical bug.

Steps:

1. Edit the first datapoint

2. Click to edit the second datapoint. It should have other datapoints in the context, but they are not the same.

3. Press F5 and edit this datapoint again. You can see that now it shows the correct context datapoint, and I can edit and save it.

[fabiodurao]

These datapoints are Modbus TCP, I'm communicating with modems, and I had a problem this morning. I've already identified the problem and will fix it, but I was surprised that SCADA-LTS doesn't show alarms next to the datapoints in the watch list and in the graphical representation.

[Limraj]

Hi @fabiodurao,
This could happen after the Data Source is properly initialized. I have a potential cause for this, and it will be fixed. Will you be able to reproduce this issue later to test it using Docker?

Best regards.

[Limraj]

Hi @fabiodurao,
To confirm the problem, it would be helpful if you provided the following information:

1. Was the problem related to a single point, not the entire Data Source? What was the problem?
2. Can you show the Data Source configuration (a screenshot would be fine), mainly the update periods parameter, and the alarm configuration in the data source?
3. Can you show the point configuration?
4. If the problem was related to a given data source, if we have an alarm configured, then an event would be generated in the context of the Data Source, so it won't be visible to the point.

Best regards.
