New release candidate with updates and new features (Please read the change log carefully!)

- Change Log -

0.5.9 RC2 (04/29/2015) Build # 738
-------------------------------------------
Logger

• Changed the way the Logger definition update or protocol change is handled

0.5.9 RC1 (04/21/2015) Build # 736
-------------------------------------------

[1] The settings XML file can be stored in the RomRaider directory as an alternate location. This allows multiple customized installations (using the ZIP version) to exist each with their own unique settings.

Editor

• Implement a global endian attribute in ECU definitions <memmodel endian=xxx> overriding table specific endian settings
• Rename SSM menu item as the Test App is no longer SSM specific
• Allow user to specific read block size in Editor Test App
• Fix for RomTree expand/collapse issue
• Fix for reversed min/max table colours
• Fix for table 3D view min/max ranges
• Changed Settings file search order for better portability, starting directory is searched before user's home
• Added a missing ECU definition file Dialog to warn user to correct
• Added a catch-all exception notification branch
• Fix for category node open issue, Double click on node causes the node to open and then close
• Changed code to use true Linear Interpolation rather than even cell distance distribution
• Added warning log when a static table contains a storageType != 0.
• Added ability to parse and save the static table data if the storageType != 0.

Logger

• Requires Logger definition version 305 or higher be set before upgrading
• Add -logger.touch to make the Logger UI more 'touch' friendly
• BMW DS2 protocol implementation for MS41, MS42 and MS43 DME (requires Logger definition version 305 or higher)
• Implement DS2 Learning (Adaptation) Table Values read functionality
• Added DS2 adaptation reset tool
• Group individual DS2 ECU queries into a single memory read start address and length query
• Add APSX D1|D2 Wideband O2 Externals Plugin
• Added support for the ECOTRONS ALM wideband O2 controller
• Allow setting event mode or polled mode in the lm2_mts.plugin Properties file
• Implement endian processing in the data converter defined in logger definition
• Update Logger definition DTD for new elements of DS2 protocol
• Added new protocol selection menu populated with all the protocols defined in the Logger definition file
• Add protocol to query status message display
• Add support to use Linux Openport 2.0 library if available
• Add serial databit and parity configuration setting items
• Added a new BitWise Logger converter to process bits in query results, see Java source file for usage details com/romraider/util/BitWise.java

Operational Notes

• Since RomRaider relies on various externally provided classes and vendor libraries, the 64bit Java VM is not supported. The RomRaider installer and Editor will issue warnings if a 64bit Java VM is detected and advise the user to uninstall it and install the 32bit Java VM. The Logger will warn and exit. It is unlikely that 64bit Java VM will even be supported as all external classes and vendor libraries must be compiled for native 64bit operation.
• To log External sensors only, un-select both the ECU and TCU checkbox on the Logger menu bar. Then switch to the Externals tab and check the items to be logged. The log Externals only setting is not retained between logging sessions.
• The use of ISO15765 requires a J2534 compliant cable. Since the J2534 specification only defines Windows 32bit systems as a valid platform, Linux systems are not officially supported. An alpha J2534 Openport 2.0 driver is available here.

A note about External plugins: The native Innovate MTS (DLL) driver checks each COM port on the computer to determine if any Innovate devices are connected. This action can slow the Logger's startup when the plugin is loaded. If you do not need the support of the Innovate MTS (LM-2), I suggest moving that plugin item out of the RomRaider\plugins directory to stop it from loading. Actually this can be done for any External plugin that you don't use in your setup.

Great work, Dale, thanks!

Not just me you know ...

Indeed - well, let me extend the thanks to the entire distributed / Github dev team

Awesome! I have been waiting for the touchscreen stuff. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this project!

Nice work guys..

Bumped to 0.5.9 RC2 to handle Logger definition file update or protocol changes better.

Your welcome!

might be a silly question, but I see no difference for touch interface - how do enable that?

Also, I can't connect to the car - I get an error to hit the restart button to initialise with the ecu...

0.5.8 RC1 still works flawlessly, however.

The Logger must be started with the Touch option. Check your Start menu.

If you have problems you need to send the rr_system.log file so we can see what's going on.

You also need to use the latest logger defs with the new version, see the release notes.

Thanks!

Didn't go via start menu as I use shortcuts normally with the touch screen and hadn't used the laptop in ages.

Missed the bit about new defs and as I use customised ones for wideband + merpmod I will have to spend some time updating them.

Just make new shortcuts of course.
The official logger defs include all the MerpMod ROMs.
