Release Notes for Events2HVAC

Version 1.5.1.31 (09/18/2017)

If you are upgrading from v1.3.x or earlier versions, please review the system requirement changes section below.

.NET Framework 4.5.2 is the minimum required, but recommended version is 4.6.1 now since future versions will use this as a base framework version.
Makes sure you are not using SQL 2005 (v9.0.x) for the Events2HVAC database before you try to upgrade. The update scripts might fail with this version.
Make sure you make database backups as with any upgrade. If there is a problem during upgrade and you need to revert back to the previous version, you must have a database backup of the previous version.
If you want to take advantage of the Professional edition features (multiple event providers), you will need to upgrade your license to Professional.
Your existing license will work as a "standard" edition license.
Make sure you "Rediscover" your device interfaces if you are using any of the new actions in this release. Device Interface Manager - Rediscover Devices

Fix: Don’t re-schedule db maintenance, license check and daily reports if schedule window is missed.
Fix: A rare hash collision in equipment actions can cause a single action to be ignored during scheduling if a zone has more than one action defined.

Fix: Change error notification for SendExceptionSchedule action failures
Workaround: A "Buffer overflow" bug was found in JCI BACnet controllers (NCE, NAE) that prevented discovery of objects in controllers that had more than ~3700 points. BACnet explorer was modified to discover each object individually in this situation.
