Version differences: R1.03 → R1.05

What changed between CI Server R1.03.00 (what this repo was first written for; frozen on branch r1.03, tag r1.03-final) and R1.05.00 (current target of main). Each skill and manual summary is moved to R1.05 one at a time; this file is where to look for the changes in the meantime.

Sources: the revision tables at the end of each R1.05 manual (editions dated Feb. 2026; R1.04 editions Jan. 2025) and a read-only comparison of the installed files on the R1.03 development machine and the R1.05 test server (2026-10-08). Status: from docs plus verified file lists; behaviour is not yet re-tested.

1. Installation and files (verified, 2026-10-08)

	R1.03 (development machine)	R1.05 (test server)
Version string	CI Server R1.03.00 (r10200M)	CI Server R1.05.00 (r11609M)
Program root (TLS_ROOT_PATH)	C:\Program Files (x86)\Yokogawa\CIServer	C:\Yokogawa\CIServer
Data root (TLS_ALLUSERS_PATH)	C:\Users\Public\Yokogawa\tls	C:\Yokogawa\CIServer\tls (same folder as the program)
Manuals	C:\Users\Public\Yokogawa\tls\doc\EN	C:\Yokogawa\CIServer\tls\doc\EN
tls_versions.lst	all lines R1.03.00	112 lines R1.05.00, jython-full R1.04.00

The install paths may be a choice made at install time, not a product change. Always read the TLS_* environment variables (set TLS) rather than assuming a path. Skills still show the R1.03 paths until they are re-checked.

Installed files that are new or gone (only names that matter for engineering are listed):

Area	New in R1.05	Gone since R1.03

The R1.03 development machine also had eqpcieng*, opxcieng* and adtlogci.sup files that were added there for the sample project CI-Eng-Sample; they are not part of the product.

2. Manuals (from docs)

All 39 manuals were reissued (Feb. 2026). One manual is new. Most of them only added contact information. The table lists the ones with real changes after R1.03, with the sections named in the R1.04 and R1.05 revision tables.

Revision table lists only contact information: C20, C30, E10, E30, J20, J40, L10, L15, L20, L25, L30, L35, L36, L40, P10, P11, P20, P30, R20, R40. The revision tables do not list every R1.04 edit, so each of these was also compared word by word with its R1.03 edition (tools/manual_diff.py, 2026-10-08). Result:

Manual	Unlisted changes found by the text diff
E10 Excel Add-in	Item search: new description of the Item Filter / Description Filter boxes and wildcards (* default; both filters combine with AND); a CI Portal SSL note moved
E30 Alarm System Performance Analysis	KPI grid: the KPI charts now have labels (In Time, Too Late, Not Ackn, Nuisance)
L30 BUS Service	durwfp return value reworded (1 = process attached/running, 0 = otherwise); same meaning
P11 Java class language	§10.2 methods reworded; same meaning
P20 RQL	Footer <position> sentence split in two; same meaning
L40, R20, R40, C30, L35, J40	Spacing, punctuation, titles only
C20, J20, L10, L15, L20, L25, L36, P10, P30	None

Skills based only on these manuals still need a quick re-test on R1.05 (installed files may differ), but their content is expected to hold. The E10 and E30 changes go into the reporting and alarm-management re-checks.

Method for every manual re-check: do not rely on the revision table or the release notes. Run python tools/manual_diff.py <R1.03 doc\EN> <R1.05 doc\EN> <IM> and review every change, including those made in R1.04.

3. Re-check plan

Order (biggest change first), tracked in progress.md under R1.05 re-check:

1. system-check (paths, version string): done in the baseline.
2. installation-security, data-access, equipment: real manual changes. Re-checked read-only 2026-10-08 (ISS-076–090). IM 36K10L45 section numbers moved by one chapter from ch. 4 on (new ch. 4 REST API).
3. New pyTOOLS manual (P40) and the REST API.
4. graphics, history-management, portal-setup, system-management.
5. All other skills: re-test the task files on R1.05, no manual change expected.

The R1.05 test server is shared with other projects. Re-checks there are read-only unless the user approves a change; see "Test system" in progress.md.
