Hello Community,

where can I find the list of known bugs for the latest release of ThingWorx?

In one community post I found a reference about a bug about TW 6.5 + Connection Server and I'd like to know more about it.

Thanks in advance,

Giuliano

Hi Giuliano,

They don't share this info , I've already asked for it, and they don't really have plans to share this kind of info, they are too much used to be a big company and a closed development environment...

Best Regards,

Carles.

Giuliano, ThingWorx keeps lists of Release Notes within our Help Center for service packs and major releases: http://support.ptc.com/cs/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_6.5_hc/ A list of all current bugs with a version is not something that we provide, but our Tech Support team creates Knowledge Base Articles on known / existing bugs and updates them accordingly when they are fixed. These articles will also provide a work-around for the bug when applicable. If you have access to our Knowledge Base and have come across a bug, you can search for an article relating to this. Worst case you will not find anything and can consult the community or open a Tech Support case relating to the bug in question. Hope this helps! Meghan

Just a quick note/ addition to Meghan's post - the release notes are available in all Help Centers under the "Welcome To ThingWorx" section.

In the DOC, when you expand the first chapter "Welcome to ThingWorx", you can see all the release notes

Hi All,

Giuliano was asking for bug lists, not for release notes It's totally a different thing.

Event the release notes often do not include changes. For example in 6.x, you can no longer create multiple subscriptions to the same Event within a template stack. In 5.x you could have a thing subscribed to AnyDataChange on the Thing, another on the ThingTemplate and yet more on any ThingShapes inherited at any level. This was previously possible, and I consider it to be a pretty big change and it's not documented anywhere.

Also, how security is inherited has changed over the versions and was not documented. Some of these I called them on and turned out to be bugs.

Regardless, I would suggest that you maintaining your own bug list and then also, sadly, when a new version comes out, proceed with extreme caution on a separate server and test the hell out of your application before releasing to production.
