v5.9.0

OpenC3 COSMOS 5.9.0 - Modern, Production Ready, Command and Control

Welcome to OpenC3 COSMOS 5.9.0!

Autonomic is out of Beta!

Autonomic, our built-in automation tool, is out of beta! Autonomic provides an easy user driven mechanism for defining triggers and reactions. You can easily design a lights out system to handle different events and automatically send a command or run a script in response. For example, whenever a specific telemetry point gets above a certain value, run a script.

Tool Generators - Vue, Angular, React, and Svelte

Our openc3cli generator now supports generating tools across four different frontend frameworks. We have tool templates available for Vue, Angular, React, and Svelte.

Playwright tests are now bundled in the main cosmos repo

This change couples the playwright tests to specific versions and makes going back and testing a version much easier.

New build_command API

A new build_command API has been added that provides a mechanism to have COSMOS build the binary version of a command for you from a script. You can then use this binary data to build command tables or for other purposes.

Enabled Redis IO Threading

We have enabled Redis IO threading in the Redis configuration files. This should provide up to a 2x performance boost for Redis (and COSMOS).

Other Improvements

1. Added a NotFound component to show on unknown tool routes
2. Updated load/save configurations between tools to be consistent
3. Limits Monitor tabs removed and now everything is on a single page
4. Show spinner while file open dialog is loading
5. Log messages severity levels mapped to AstroUI levels
6. Various UI improvements

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed code not being instrumented properly in scripts with multiple function definitions and multiline strings
2. Fix TlmGrapher graphs after changing the end_time
3. Fix limits_bar widget when yellow limit equaled red limit
4. ScriptRunner buttons are now disabled until the script is fully started
5. Tlm Screens now better handle errors and show if a screen is broken
