There are very few functional changes in this release but there are multiple on going "under the hood" changes that will impact future releases and create a better application development and integration environment. I've also been improving the online documentation and added community catalogs.

Release notes for Versions 1.7:

Highlights:

• Converted the Create App tool from Java to Ruby. A COSMOS screen is used for the GUI and it's much cleaner.
• Performed a preliminary integration of CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) COSMOS and FSW components. Still needs to be fully tested. Thanks to Visiona for supplying the COMSOS CFDP engine!
• Added Limit Checker app table generation tools that are included in LC's lib directory but they have not been fully integrated. Still need to work out some cmd/tlm defnition details. Thanks to Bruce Savadkin for providing a python version of the tools!

OSK roadmap...

• Replace the 'hello world' sample app template with a template that matches the example in the cFE App Developers Guide.
• Improve documentation: Complete User's Guide. Add task oriented documentation and self-guided training modules with exercises.
• Complete CFDP testing and use as the primary file transfer protocol.
• Integrate cFE 6.6 when it's available and start to improve the unit test infrastructure. cFE 6.6 still has some known unit test deficiencies.
