Fixed Issues

• The field <objType> in the MOS XML returned by the /mosxml data element endpoint is now set to STILL. This is in accordance to the MOS protocol (PDS-540).

• Support for control object with custom-name containers (PDS-625). Note that this requires the use of Viz Engine 5.0.1 (VIZPL-1707) and Preview Server 4.6.0 (FS-480) to be fully functional.

• Fixed PDS from stop sending STOMP messages (PDS-618 & PDS-629).

• When using the PD S endpoint /model/{ID}/{concept}/{variant}, the model returned contains the specified concept and variant, this means that the Avid Command plugin will generate Pilot elements based on the External ID with the correct concept and variant (PDS-522).

Known Issues

• There has been reports of the PDS returning the wrong number of data elements or templates, which indicates that the local indexing cache can be out of sync (PDS-623).

New Features

• Added logging for DELETE and PUT (modification) requests for data elements. It will log the IP address, proxy IPs and the operation done (PDS-598).

• Added support for channels and categories in the VDF (PDS-600).

• TLS 1.2 is supported by Pilot Data Server (PDS-595).

Fixed Issues

• Resolved the issue where the material would not get updated when switching between scenes (VPE-4462).

• Fixed an issue where a concept deleted in Template Wizard would still show up in Pilot Edge (PDS-606).

• Reinstalling and changing the PDS installer with new settings for proxy (base URL specifically), will open the correct webpage at the end of the installation (PDS-601).

• Fixed issue when saving/reloading/replacing a template, the scenedata was duplicated unnecessarily (PDS-616).

• Fixed issue when installing PDS, the thumbnail generator config was not being updated with the correct database connection settings (PDS-602).
