In order to best support our customers and ensure LabVIEW compatibility, VIPM supports new versions of LabVIEW as they are released. There are many instances where older versions of VIPM do not work well with newer versions of LabVIEW, due to changes in where/how LabVIEW and its files get installed.
  • Improved Malleable VI Support - improvements to building and installing packages that use and call Malleable VIs (*.vim files).
  • Installer Improvements - using new code signing certificate uses signature timestamp for better installation experience.

Known Issues

  • 13790: VI Package Builder - This issue affects package building of classes. The issue appears to be isolated to VIPM. It's possible to build a package where members of a friend class cannot access members of a community scoped class. This occurs if you set a password on the community scoped class in the VIPM source files settings page.
