2023-10-04 - Version 2.2.1

Improvements:

  • General code enhancements

Bug fixes:

  • In some scenarios, the Device ID and firmware version information was lost at the time of route connection
  • The mode change of a CAN channel from standard CAN to CAN FD or vice versa within a PCAN-Gateway device was not reported to the connected PCAN participants on the PC side
  • The 'TCPDelay' parameter of a Virtual PCAN-Gateway route was applied upside down
  • The 'Join' operation in the Virtual PCAN-Gateway Configuration tool incorrectly configured the CAN channel of the opposing routes, preventing these routes from being connected

2023-07-12 - Version 2.2.0

Improvements:

  • It is now possible to bind Virtual PCAN-Gateway routes to a remote CAN channel, as an additional check to avoid connections to unwanted CAN channels
  • The registration process of PCAN-Gateways devices in the PCAN-LAN driver was improved

Bug fixes:

  • The sound for channel plug-in was being played twice in some scenarios
  • The route status displayed in the 'Edit Route' pane was not being updated, when this was changed via the pop-up menu or the Activate/Deactivate button
  • The hardware handle allocation process was faulty, causing PCAN-LAN/CAN channels to be mixed up
  • In some scenarios, trying to add a new route was failing because needed configuration controls were deactivated
  • When trying to edit an incoming route, the IP field was showing wrong values ins some scenarios

Changes:

  • The port 52957 is now reserved. It is not allowed anymore to use it for registering new routes
  • The behavior of the sound played when a PCAN-LAN channel is connected/disconnected was improved
  • There are new colored lamps that represent additional status indicators and help with troubleshooting communication problems:
    • A yellow/green lamp is now shown for inactive routes (they are connected but have their associated CAN channel deactivated)
    • A purple lamp is now shown for active routes when the PCAN-LAN driver is not loaded

2023-03-07 - Version 2.1.2

Bug fixes:

  • Text containing special characters retrieved via the JSON interface from remote devices was displayed incorrectly in the Configuration Tool

2022-12-07 - Version 2.1.1

Improvements:

  • Windows device connection sounds are now played when PCAN-LAN channels perform Plug-in/out events

Bug fixes:

  • The timestamp of incoming messages were synchronized with a start time of 0, so that they always seemed to be in the past. This prevented messages from being traced in tools like PCAN-View and PCAN-Explorer
  • The Virtual Gateway Configuration tool failed to show the status 'Handshake off' of routes with this configuration when retrieving information from scanned devices

2022-10-24 - Version 2.1.0

Improvements:

  • Time interval accuracy between incoming messages was improved
  • Additional general code enhancements

Bug fixes:

  • The support link “Control Panel App” was updated

2021-12-14 - Version 2.0.3

Improvements:

  • General code enhancements

Bug fixes:

  • In some scenarios, when an energy event occurred (power off of PCAN-Gateway/FD devices, sleep/hibernation of host PC), the Virtual PCAN-Gateway service was stopping the communication indefinitely
  • In some scenarios, when an energy event occurred (power off of PCAN-Gateway/FD devices, sleep/hibernation of host PC), the CPU load was being raised up to 100% and a service restart was needed
  • The Device ID retrieved from a gateway device was being parsed as signed integer instead of as unsigned integer
  • Configuration Tool: It was not possible to parse PCAN-Gateway/FD INI files with version v2 when doing Join operations
  • Configuration Tool: The application was crashing when using the JSON interface to get routes information from PCAN-Gateway FD devices

Changes:

  • Configuration Tool: Remote Virtual PCAN-Gateways are now ignored and not included in the list of results when scanning for PCAN-Gateway devices

2021-01-26 - Version 2.0.2

Bug fixes:

  • The “Join operation” in the Virtual PCAN-Gateway Configuration Tool was not working with INI files coming from PCAN Gateways FD devices
  • Changing the activation status of routes with direction device->PC on PCAN-Gateway devices erroneously caused the nominal bitrate on the PC side to be set to 0

2020-12-14 - Version 2.0.1

Bug fixes:

  • Typo in the user interface of the configuration tool corrected
  • The enabled/disabled commands of the popup menu for route activation, 'Switch ALL routes on' and 'Switch ALL routes off', showed wrong states
  • Fixed service crashes that occurred when connecting incoming routes more than once at the same time

2020-07-20 - Version 2.0.0

Improvements:

  • Routes can be now configured with any IP address. The strict relationship between defined routes and an explicit network adapter was removed
  • Virtual PCAN-Gateways (PC with PCAN-LAN driver) can now be found from other PCAN-Gateway devices, when performing a scan
  • The configuration tool can now scan for other devices of the Gateway family on a network
  • The configuration tool can now retrieve routing information of remote PCAN-Gateways using the JSON interface
  • It is now possible to perform a reset of CAN channels of PCAN-Gateway devices connected over PCAN-LAN (using PCAN software like PCAN-View, among others)
  • It is now possible to configure a Device-ID on PCAN-Gateway devices (a PCAN-Gateway with firmware 2.8.2 or greater is required)
  • The name of PCAN-Gateway devices connected to a Virtual PCAN-Gateway are now shown in the route list within the configuration tool, together with their IP addresses
  • Support for CAN FD communication added (a CAN FD capable PCAN-Gateway is required and PCAN-LAN driver version 4.2.1 or greater)
  • Multiple activation/deactivation/deletion of routes over the configuration tool is now possible
  • The amount of routes that can be registered using the configuration tool was increased to 64
  • General code enhancements

Bug fixes:

  • Routes were failing to reconnect after a WSAEINTR error
