MThings V0.8.6 Update Highlights

I. Multi-Instance Logic Control Views

• Support multiple logic control views running and managed simultaneously;

• Support importing, exporting, activating, and deactivating logic views;

• Support merging logic control components;

• Logic control integrated with project configuration;

• Support customizing the number of input/output ports for LUA components;

II. Network Database Storage

Added network database access capability, supporting unified configuration of connection parameters (host, port, database name, account, timeout, etc.), providing connection availability pre-check and test connection.

III. Default Proxy

To reduce connection failure probability in proxy environments and enhance network connectivity controllability, a "Default Proxy" switch has been added to network channel configuration, allowing control over whether to use system proxy strategies per link. Supports flexible selection of direct connection or proxy path in complex network environments (such as VPN/proxy coexistence).

IV. Software Tray

Added software tray resident capability, supporting minimization to tray and background operation. Supports tray menu operations (such as displaying main interface, exiting software, etc.) and close behavior control. Optimizes "accidental close" scenario experience, ensuring continuous operation of collection/communication tasks.

V. Optimized Database Operation Reliability and Performance

Optimized database connection pre-check and error handling, reducing invalid retries and stutters. Improved some SQL execution and data processing workflows, enhancing read-write efficiency and response speed. Strengthened stability and recoverability in abnormal scenarios. After optimization, database access is smoother, and overall system performance and stability are improved.

VI. Other Optimizations

• Added maximum and minimum value extension parameters to controls such as data labels and batch controls for validating and restricting the reasonable range of user input instructions;

• Added "confirmation prompt" parameter to controls such as switches for specifying whether to pop up a confirmation box for setting operations;

• Added change rate prompt information in real-time curve cursor view;

• Register partial bit data supports HEX display type;
