COSMOS 5.18.0 Release

Multiple varible bit size items, command authority, chromeless mode, and more

Since the beginning, COSMOS has been able to handle a single variable sized item within packets. Now we can handle multiple! As long as each item has its own associated length field, you can have multiple variable sized items in the same packet. See the new VARIABLE_BIT_SIZE keyword for packet definitions.

In COSMOS Enterprise, you can now enable a new mode called Command Authority. In this mode, only one user at a time can command a given target. This can be helpful on multi-operator ops floors to prevent two operators from accidentally sending commands at the same time.

Sometimes you would like to open COSMOS up in an IFRAME or a browser tab, and not waste any space with the topbar, navbar, or footer. Well now you can! Just add ?chromeless=true to your urls to try it!
