Pathfinder Core PRO 2.0 brings together everything from the pre-2.0 beta work and 1.10, a new web interface, a new panel designer and Logic Flows editor, and Key9 licensing. This page summarizes the changes; each item links to the manual section that covers it.
Licensing
Key9 licensing replaces the previous license keys. Licenses are activated against the Telos license server, with offline activation for hardware units and custom license servers. A license health monitor warns by email before features expire or when the server cannot be reached. See System.
To move from 1.x, update to 1.10.12 or later, add the Key9 license there, then install 2.0. From 2.1, installing an update also needs a current support agreement (SLA).
The Web Interface
A new dark design, with the navigation bar grouped into Automation, Devices, Messaging, Routing and Audio, and System. See Overview.
Dialogs and messages appear in the page, editors open over their lists, and lists gain multi-select toolbars.
A System Status dashboard with startup state, trends, network, services, banks, time and licensing at a glance.
UI Options to color the banner and name the browser tab, so systems are easy to tell apart.
Automation
Logic Flows editor redrawn: a canvas with an Inspector, undo and redo, live activity, search, snap and auto-arrange, shared links between views, and saved positions. New Use FIFO Queue, Delay bypass values, and recursion detection on panel bindings. See Logic Flows.
Panel Designer replaced: undo and autosave, alignment and size matching, layers, pages as tabs, a bindings drawer, aliases, custom themes, latching buttons and new components. Panels saved in 2.0 cannot be opened by 1.x. See User Panels.
Block Execution stops parts of the event system from running, for maintenance or testing. See Block Execution.
Memory Slots: a new Array type, numeric operations (Round, Multiply, Divide and others), editing values from the list, and SetTimeStampPlus. See Memory Slots.
Scenes: read-only and authoritative scenes, disabled items and item mutability. See Scenes.
Property Groups: disabled groups and items, Force Sync Retry, and object-based property groups. See Property Groups.
Timers: an Event Timezone for Day of Week and Date/Time timers. See Timers.
Devices and Routing
Rest API devices support Basic, Bearer/JWT (static or fetched from an authentication URL), API key and Digest authentication. SCTE-35 readers pass cue messages to Logic Flows. Telos Pulsar units are recognized. See Devices.
The virtual GPIO node can advertise itself on a floating IP for devices that only find GPIO through Livewire advertisement.
Routers: clone virtual and SAP property routers, split audio across several Axia audio routers by IP range, lock or unlock a whole router, PulseOnMount and ExecutePattern on SAP property routers. See Routers.
Device Emulators: TCP clients can check for a success reply and reconnect, and a Probel General Router Silence type reports silence. See Device Emulators.
Audio Alarms: system-wide silence and clipping thresholds, with per-IO overrides. See Audio Alarms.
Vmix Control redrawn with touch-safe faders, fade times, meters and a connection indicator. Inputs can take the engine's internal sources (programs, record, phone, aux sends) as well as external Livewire sources. See Vmix Control.
System and Security
Users and Security Groups: rights are set on security groups, which also map LDAP and Active Directory groups directly. Emergency Access lets chosen users log in when LDAP is down. See Users.
Clusters: each node is shown as a card marking the node that runs the event system; Override Primary chooses that node; and a backup node without its own license inherits its primary's Key9 license. See Clusters.
Container: Pathfinder Core PRO can run as a Docker container on a Linux host. See Container.
Backups: retention policies, global exclusions and automatic scheduled backups, and selective restore. See System.
Static routes, SupportLink, grouped Advanced Options, and NetTools (ping, netstat, nslookup, traceroute, telnet) in the web interface.
Log tools: search across every log, summaries, a timeline around any moment, saved searches with new-match counts, support bundles, and benign marks for expected warnings. See Logs.
