We are happy to announce that we are formally releasing support for Schneider Control Expert!  We currently support the .STU, .ZEF and .XEF filetypes.  This includes rendering the project tree, and graphical rendering for both Ladder and Structured Text.  All other project items are displayed in XML format, with changes highlighted.

In addition, Rung Commenting support for Schneider Control Expert is also available, which allows users to comment on both Ladder and Structured text during the Pull Request review process.

See our documentation for more information.

Rung commenting for both Codesys and Beckhoff TwinCAT3 has been released!

Supporting both Ladder and Structured text, this feature improves the Code Review process by allowing you to provide comments and feedback directly on the rungs during the Pull Request process.

Find out more about Rung Commenting in our documentation for both Codesys and Beckhoff TwinCAT3, as well as by watching the video below!

We're excited to announce the release of Repository webhooks for Copia! (webhooks are also available at the Org level)  Webhooks provide a way for Copia to send real-time notifications to your team through you favorite communication tool, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack or Discord. This means that you'll never miss an important update from your Copia repo again.

In addition, webhooks can support tools like Zapier, which allow you to create actions, and link Copia to other systems you may be using.

We have added a new section to the documentation called "Integrations", which provides step-by-step instructions for configuring webhooks for the following:

• Slack
• Microsoft Teams
• Zapier
• Discord
• Jira*

(NOTE: Jira is a more advanced integration, using both 3rd party tools and webhooks supporting links to things like Commits, Branches & Pull Requests)

✖ In addition, there is a generic "Copia" webhook that can be used to configure webhooks for any other system that may support them.

In those cases where you may be storing projects with Source Protected content, Copia will default to flagging this content as "different", as we cannot determine if something has changed or not.  You now have the option to "ignore" these sections in this case, by toggling the new "Ignore Source Protected" switch found in the View Options menu for the navigation pane.

Want to see what has been happening in your repository?

Copia now has a Repo Activity page to help you stay up-to-date on your repository activity. This page shows you a summary of the recent activity in your repositories, including the number of commits, issues, and pull requests. You can also see a list of the most active contributors. 

Also, we have added a new Repo Management section in our documentation with more information on working with your repositories!

We're excited to announce a new feature in the Copia Desktop app: the ability to amend commits!

This new feature allows you to make changes to your most recent commit, and is especially useful when you need to update your commit message, or forgot to include a file prior to pushing your changes. To use it, simply right-click on the most recent commit and select the Amend Commit option.  More information about this feature can be found in the documentation.

We hope you find this new feature helpful! If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know.

We are very excited to share that we now formally support the CODESYS .project file format for displaying project data and differences! 🎉 We have also expanded our support for CODESYS 3.5, now including SP14-18.  More information can be found in the documentation about this new feature.

(NOTE: At this time, this is only supported for CODESYS, and not 3rd party vendors that use the CODESYS software)

We’re pleased to announce that Copia now supports display and differences of Siemens Step7 TIA Portal Project and Global Libraries!  In addition, we have enabled auto-archive support for Global Libraries, so that you can continue to make changes in the native formats, and Copia will automatically archive/extract the library files to/from .zal## format to decrease storage space and improve data transfer times.

For more information, refer to the documentation about this new feature further supporting the Siemens Step7 TIA Portal software!

We have added some new options for you to reach us with your Feature Requests and Bug Reports!  For those that prefer a more traditional communication, you can now use email to send feedback to either feature@copia.io or bug@copia.io.  They are also available to quickly access on our Chat bubble, as seen below.

In both cases, you should receive a reply with a request ID that you can use for future follow-up and tracking.

Keep the feedback coming, it is what makes our product better!

Our team has been working on upgrades and enhancements to our SSO offering.  We are proud to announce that Copia now supports the following new SSO features:

• Support and setup guides for over 20 OIDC and SAML Identity Providers including Shibboleth, Okta, OneLogin, Google, and many more.
