Release Notes

Highlights and upgrade notes for the current release.

v2.0.3

Focus: value-table editing, signal data types, DBC file fidelity, and translation reliability.

Highlights

  • Manage shared VAL_TABLE_ catalogs and assign them to signals from the Editor.
  • Set signals to Integer, Float32, or Float64 using Vector SIG_VALTYPE_ without changing their bit length or signedness.
  • Preserve source encoding and line endings when saving DBC files for better Vector CANdb++ compatibility.
  • Translate DBC text between German and English with improved identifier and relationship handling.
  • Persist edited DBC attributes and remove stale related records when messages, signals, or nodes are deleted.
  • Keep View, Edit, Compare, and Log Analyzer state when switching tabs.

Upgrade notes

  • Windows uses the packaged NSIS installer; Linux uses the package for the target distribution.
  • Translation models are installed separately from Translate > Models and are not bundled with the installer.
  • Review translated or edited DBC files in Compare before saving.
