Release Version: 6.7.1046.0
Release Date: 6/27/2019
- Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise are now included in the list of supported operating systems.
Server Runtime
- The Secure Installation Guide has been updated to reflect best practices for restricting access to KEPServer using Active Directory authorization. The Secure Deployment Guide is available at https://www.kepware.com/support/resource-library/. Specific information on restricting access can be found in section 5 of the guide, titled “Post Installation”. Additional information can be found in the help documentation provided with the product in the section titled Application Data.
Server Configuration
- Event Log default column width has been changed to better support HiDPI displays.
- Fixed several abbreviation and truncation issues for ongoing multilingual support.
- Detail View enhancement: “Jump To”
- A user can now start typing the item name they wish to navigate to within the detail view, and the server will select that item’s location.
- This functionality models Windows Explorer when attempting to find a file in long list of files.
- If no item begins with the characters being typed the system will play a default notification sound.
- Changes have been made to alert users to potential security concerns. Several warning dialogs have been added when configuration changes are made that would result in a decreased security posture.
All Drivers
- Fixed a memory management routine that could cause heap corruptions.
- Resolved a heap corruption that could crash the runtime for certain drivers. The issue was discovered in a project using the Modbus Ethernet driver.
- Fixed an issue that could affect serial drivers when using Ethernet Encapsulation where drivers could fail the first transmit (TX) if the device reset (RST) the connection. Ethernet Encapsulation will now attempt to reconnect before failing the TX.
OPC UA Configuration Manager
- Added a new OPC UA Security Policy (Basic256Sha256) available for server endpoint configurations.
- Updated the default Security Policy to use most secure (Basic256Sha256) and to use the message mode of “Sign and Encrypt”.
- Updated the UI to show Security Policies that are deprecated (Basic128Rsa15, Basic256, None).
- Updated instance certificate signature algorithm to use sha256RSA for new self-signed certificates.
- Changed the instance certificate expiration from ten (10) years to three (3) years.
- Added a pop-up message to warn users when trusting certificates using an unsecure signature algorithm.
Release Version: 6.7.1046.0
Release Date: 6/27/2019
- Resolved an issue introduced in the 6.5.829.0 release where the driver could stop processing new read requests on existing devices and show the channel level _PendingReads tag as stuck. This usually happened following EFM read attempts that were interleaved with real time reads.
- Corrected an issue introduced in the 6.6.348.0 release where the driver could endlessly retry if receiving responses (noise) but with no valid data from the device.
- Enhanced the driver to support an older version of firmware for liquid meters, which corresponds to ABB extradata.ini revision #52.
Release Version: 6.7.1046.0
Release Date: 6/27/2019
- Fixed an issue with reading arrays from Guardlogix L43S Controllers.
Release Version: 6.7.1046.0
Release Date: 6/27/2019

Release Version: 6.7.1046.0
Release Date: 6/27/2019
- Enhanced API to include configuration of the DataLogger Advanced Plug-in. This allows third-party applications to make RESTful calls into KEPServerEX to configure DataLogger.
- A new parameter has been added to the ProjectSave service that allows for specifying a password to be used to encrypt the project file. Filenames using the extension "sopf" will be saved as encrypted project files, using the password specified in the new parameter. Previously the project file encryption was supported using the project properties "encrypt" and "password". Customers who have written programs interacting with the Config API using these properties to encrypt project files will need to update their programs to use the new ProjectSave interface.
- The Configuration API now supports the ability to access and modify User Manager settings. Authorized users are now able to create, modify and disable users, groups and passwords from the Configuration API.
- A new admin endpoint is available for modifying server properties. The endpoint “.../config/v1/admin” provides access to settings for Event Log, OPC Diagnostics, and Configuration API.
- Added the ability to create nested tags in a tag group.
