Safari (1): Apple's Safari browser by default
disables Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) which can be used by
EEvision for an alternative way of license checking, based on
https://io.concept.de. To enable CORS, you must first enable the developer menu from
Preferences/Advanced, and then select “Disable Cross-Origin
Restrictions” from the develop menu.
Safari (2): With our Cache-Control
“must-revalidate”, Apple's Safari browser does not cache the
big WASM file and therefore may be slower on reload.
IE11 (3): Microsoft's IE 11 has a
“compatibility view” that is not supported. If needed, uncheck
it under ⚙/Compatibility View settings/Display intranet sites in
Compatibility View.
IE11 (4): Microsoft's IE 11 does not support
the EEvision plugins
docgen and endcircuit.
FF86 (5): Firefox has a caching bug in
its "go to History state" function. However the back button always works
(and caching does usually not apply on larger Apps).
How to create an EDB
Figure 1 shows various ways to collect the connectivity data and store it into an EDB file. This is (a) the CreatorAPI for the supported computer languages (as listed in the edbcreate header) and (b) the converter tools: kbl2edb, excel2edb and edml2edb.
The EDB can store multiple languages and can store the so-called 150% data model (including components and connectivity for different variations, controlled by modules). If so, EEvision should be started with URL parameters that control the filtering of that additional information.
