powerGate v25

v25.0.9

05-12-2024

Fixed

  • Updated Licensing to version: 18.4.7.
    This resolves issues with failing command-line activations, the no longer working “powerGate Information” shortcut, and rare ERP connection errors when trying to display possible license notifications.

  • Updated powerEvents to version: .
    This solves issues with automatically reloaded changes in ERP integration scripts that were saved while modal dialogs are open, such as Error Message Boxes, Connection Error Dialogs, the BOM Window or Inspector dialogs.

  • Issues related to Auto-Importing the powerGate module in PowerShell on environments where the module was never explicitly imported before and on environments where it was imported and used before.

v25.0.5

10-10-2024

Features

  • Updated Licensing to version: 18.4.2.
    The product can now be easily activated on new environments via a single customer key - together with all other coolOrange products in your subscription.

  • Added support for .NET 8 applications, enabling ERP integrations from .NET (core) applications like Inventor 2025 and cmdlets in PowerShell 7

General

  • Added support for Vault and Inventor 2025

  • The Windows Start Menu now contains the coolOrange-wide Licence Manager instead of the powerGate License Information shortcut

  • Shared third-party Libraries (e.g. log4net, PostSharp Diagostics and Infragistics) are no longer installed into the GAC but are now merged to avoid conflicts with other products and plugins

  • Introduced a new product icon that’s simpler and easy to recognize within our product portfolio

  • Changed color for WARN log messages in Console to make them easier to read

  • Updated minimum required .NET Framework version to 4.7.2

Possible Breaking Changes with Inventor 2025

Generally, no breaking changes are expected with upgrades from previous versions.

However, for powerEvents based ERP integrations, adjustments may be necessary in rare cases to ensure compatibility with PowerShell 7.
