Model RealTime 10.x 2018.40

The Model RealTime development team is happy to announce that Model RealTime 10.3 now is recommended for production use. Model RealTime 10.3 should be installed on Eclipse Photon (4.8) and you should use the latest version which is Model RealTime 10.3 2018.40. If you prefer to instead use version 10.2 for Eclipse Oxygen the latest version is Model RealTime 10.2 2018.40. Going forward we plan to do all development for 10.3, and only deliver updates of Model RealTime 10.2 if critical problems are found.

Here are some of the highlights of the 2018.40 releases (references to the What's New in Model RealTime 10.3 in brackets):

• You can now search for trace events in a captured trace by means of the Find command (Ctrl + F) in the trace editor.
• The TargetRTS now contains an encoder class (RTJsonEncoding) which can convert a data value or a message into a JSON representation. This can for example be useful if you need to send some data from your application to a web server which expects JSON formatted messages. [page 13]
• The TargetRTS now contains an implementation of a dynamic string buffer (RTDynamicStringOutBuffer) which can be used when encoding to avoid hardcoding the size of the encoding buffer. [page 13]
• New prebuilt libraries for 64-bit Linux built with the latest versions of gcc 4.x and gcc 7.x are now included in the Model RealTime installation. [page 12]
