Installer

ODBC Server

Views

Administrator

Service was not updating firewall exception rule program path when upgrading from previous version
Removed unsupported certificate Find options
Receiver: Status Page row detail showing error message causing grid to scroll instead of wrapping text
Historian: Dataset Rename function sometimes threw an error
Views: Model editor showed asset type repeated on branch when model edited
Calculations: Status menu did not update when you drill into a specific calculation group
SQL Collector: Modified MS SQL credentials were not used until service was restarted

Axiom

DateTimePicker control was sized too big and height could not be reduced
Changes to a control name were not always persisting which may have affected scripting
Changing a trends Display Name property was not being honored
Spark Charts did not honor a 0 when used for either the min or max scale value
An application loaded with a 'timeend' URL parameter would cause TrendGraph controls to not respond to any time range actions
TextBox control moving and resizing with the mouse in designer was not working correctly
Desktop application Print sometimes cut off the bottom of the graph area
Control not updating when applying new AggregateStartTime if the SourceTag and Aggregate properties matched another control
ValueBoxes and Gauges were not populating data within automated reports
Removing a trend in TrendGraph that has other trends' scales/bands linked to it caused the linked trends to disappear
Many errors written to Message log when there was an error in the expression syntax of a calculated trend
Linked trend scales were not properly merging the scale ranges of all linked trends
Trend scales could occasionally get into state of constantly auto-scaling between 2 different scale ranges
Were not able to browse application or chart files when the user did not have permission to read a sub-folder
Report database was not updating correctly for scheduled reports from a pre-20.2 version of Axiom resulting in the service not starting

Calculations

The last calculation on status screen could be hidden when there was a scrollbar
Error evaluating an expression when dividing by a tag with data type of "byte"
Was occasionally not detecting new asset instances
Asset based calculations could stop passing data to the Sender service even though the calculation was still evaluating
Some calculation status information could be incorrect in the user interface
Rollup function was very inefficient in live mode

Collectors

Logger: Updates with a 'Bad' quality and value of 'VT_EMPTY' are now logged as 'NoData' instead of logging the bad quality

Historian

Receiver and Administrator could not connect to Historian if the machine name exceeded 15 characters

Installer

Receiver

Prevent exceptions in message log related to logging a message in the message log

Sender

Tags of sync error messages logged unnecessarily because of race condition when adding new tags and sending data
Prevent exceptions in message log related to logging a message in the message log
