The telecommand messages have been extended to include both the overall verification status (mandatory) and the optional OPS (relative and absolute) fields.The overall status is indicated by colour coding the verification columns in the client display.
The TC History page definition has been extended to require definition of the verification stage columns. An example display definition is included in the release.
The TC History page definition also allows the specification of which OPS field to display in the OPS column. This is done via the element >ShowRelativeOpsValue> element.

Version 3.2.1 (12 May 2021, Technical Note: HA.EPS.ORSF.RN.027)

The Server GUI now includes a tree node to show the current connections from Gateway and other Server instances (for reception of TMProp monitoring updates). The display includes the largest received message size and other statistics.

Version 3.2.0 (16 March 2021, Technical Note: HA.EPS.ORSF.RN.026)

User groups have now been replaced with roles. A role defines the access rights of users who have the role to each type of data (TM, TC, on-board events, fixed and variable packets) for a particular entity.
The four new display types have been updated to only show data for which the user is authorised, as defined in the SRD. If the user does not have access to a packet or packet parameter, then this is clearly indicated in red coloured text, but no actual data is shown to the user. This is valid also for snapshots and data copied to the clipboard.
The frame counter field of the TC History display can be configured to show the value in hex format. This is the default if no formatting is specified.
Tool tips have been added to most of the column headers of the new display types. When the user hovers over them, they are presented with a popup text window describing the column values.

Version 3.1.0 (28 August 2020, Technical Note: HA.EPS.ORSF.RN.025)

The client/server interface has been expanded to allow the client to request and receive the Fixed/Variable packets.
Two new display types have been added to the client to display Fixed and Variable Packets.

Version 3.0.0 (20 September 2019, Technical Note: HA.EPS.ORSF.RN.024)

A new TC/Events Source Simulator has been implemented. This simulates the new XML messaging interface used to receive TC/Events data from the EPS-SG MCS.
Old code which was only needed to support the EPOCH commercial interface for obtaining TM from the EPS MCS has been removed.
Two new display types have been added to the client to display TC History and On-board events respectively.
The Visio-based mimics editor has been replaced with a standalone mimics editor which has no dependency on commercial software products.
An archive file dump utility has been developed which allows the content of a binary archive file to be dumped to text. This is useful for debugging purposes.

Version 2.12.4 (26 April 2016, Technical Note: HA.EPS.ORSF.RN.023)

Anomanly fix: Units not displayed in ANDs generated with the New Page Editor. Now, when defined in the DB, the units of the paremeter are correctly displayed in the ANDs created with the editor.
Anomaly fix: The new format "General" introduced in the previous version is now also available in the Mimics Editor.
Anomaly fix: With this new version, no error messages when closing the TMPropagator client are displayed. In the previous version, under certain circumstances an exception was raised.
Stale parameters are no longer added to the local line plot caches when received during a playback. This prevents the parameter history apparently changing when viewing the parameter in a line plot.
