Dear Customer,

a new maintenance release of TTworkbench, version 1.1.6, is now available for download.
This release brings the support of the latest TTCN-3 standard version 3.4.1, many feature improvements, as well as new plugins for HTTP, TLS, and XSD.

Please Note:

TTworkbench 1.1.6 is not compatible with current versions of our TTsuite and TTplugin product line. While TTplugin updates are available on our download and update site, you will get informed separately when the respective TTsuite product update is available.

For custom-built logging implementations: Due to the adaptation of the new TCI standard version 3.4.1, the existing method tliSetVerdict() in interface TciTLProvided321TT has been deprecated. A new, similar method with an additional parameter 'reason' of type String was added. The old method is still called, so that only one of the two methods needs to be implemented, the other one must remain empty.

With the last TTworkbench release in June, the logging interface TciTLProvided was deprecated. It was replaced by the new standard compliant interface TciTLProvided321TT. Support for the interface TciTLProvided and all deprecated logging methods will be discontinued with December 2008 release.
