Diana Budding Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Updated serial communication plug-in is prepared for notarization by Apple. Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands, January 16, 2019–Troi today announced the immediate availability of Troi Serial Plug-in 5.6 for FileMaker Pro 17. Peter Baanen, company president, states: “It is almost 20 years ago that we released the first Troi Serial Plug-in (for FileMaker Pro 4!). It is with regret that we now have say goodbye to the 32-bit code on macOS. But we are also exited to move forward into a 64-bit only world, enabling more future enhancements.” What is Troi Serial Plug-in? Troi Serial Plug-in gives FileMaker Pro easy and powerful access to external devices with a serial interface: read from and write to the (virtual) serial ports of the computer directly from FileMaker Pro without the need of a separate application native FileMaker script triggering, to get incoming data into the database “Suspend/Resume Serial Port” script step to temporarily suspend the incoming data stream and resume it when you are interested in the data “Wait for Match” function to wait for a specific text before triggering the possibility to open an unlimited number of serial ports and to trigger different scripts for different ports What is new in version 5.6? Troi Serial Plug-in 5.6 has the following changes: IMPORTANT (macOS only) The minimum supported FileMaker version is now FileMaker Pro 14. Also the minimum supported Mac OS version is now OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). You can keep using version 5.5 for older versions of FileMaker Pro or Mac OS X. (macOS) Prepared the plug-in for notarization: the plug-in can now be added to a runtime, to create a hardened FileMaker runtime app which can be notarized by Apple. Notarization gives users more confidence as the runtime has been checked by Apple for malicious components. (macOS) The plug-in no longer has the 32-bit code included.
