Blaise 5.14 - The December 2023 release

Version 5.14.1 (build 3642, dated December 13, 2023) has been released.
It can be found in the usual location on our ftp-server alongside a zip file that contains the StandAlone executables.

New features and changes for this build include a first version of the multimode dashboard, next to the old dashboard, which is still available. Manipula has many added settings and an improved performance in four areas. Performance has been enhanced in several other areas as well, e.g. for record reading using the IDataSet interface of the StatNeth.Blaise.API. This build also offers some CATI improvements, protocols to allow communication using REST instead of WCF, and a fallback mechanism for the data role, session role and audit trail role in the server manager.

Additionally, several methods and actions were added to the APIs. The Control Centre and Resource Editor also have added options and the Layout Language now allows specifying layout instructions for multiple layout sets at the same time. There were two changes to the Rules, regarding KEEP and Route Errors.
Furthermore, this release adds support for survey deployment to the Google Cloud platform as well as several other enhancements for Cloud. Regarding data storage, a Hospitial tool was added, so you can now check if a database is in good condition. Another tool that was added is the new Test Suite, which can be used to compare .bmix files, generate random data for a .bmix and start the WPF DEP on a specified ASK field with random prefilled data up to that point.

Some extra samples for CMA as well as several samples for new functionality have been added.
