Timers and Schedulers are new entity types. Previous to this release, Timers and Schedulers were added as Thing Templates.
Several usability enhancements have been added to Composer:â—¦ The Open Projects tab was added. Entities are grouped by the Project they belong to and by entity type.
â—¦ Tabs are created for each entity that you create or interact with.
◦ All grids in Composer are re-sizable, just drag the column or rows to the desired size.
When exporting entities via Source Control, sensitive information such as password hashes or Application Key IDs associated with the entity are not exported. Importing the Source Control export back into the system will cause the loss of any sensitive information associated with the entity.
Changes to property definitions (add, update, and delete) now take effect immediately. Prior to 8.5, if you added a property to an entity other than a Thing, such as a Thing Template, all Things related to that Thing Template had to be restarted. Things collected and stored all property definitions and their values. As of 8.5, property definitions are no longer stored at the Thing level; ThingWorx now follows the inheritance tree and retrieves the data from where it is stored.
