Deployment of the application in Docker containers for Linux or Windows WSL
New system services for data requests, structural data calculation, data limitation and transformation.
Revision and standardisation of the user interface. List view with custom columns and export functions.
New allocation object: Machines & Systems
Allocation objects (cost centres, energy use, machines and systems)

The calculated allocations are now stored as (licence-free) metering points.
The system service calculates daily values for each assigned measured variable.
A pie chart is generated automatically and displayed on the properties page of the allocation object.

New tag system for labelling and filtering objects.
New workflow for importing market prices

Inflows and outflows in the balancing group Sankey diagram are shown as links.
Zoom function implemented.

User roles can be copied and their location and/or medium can be adjusted directly.
With mobile meter reading, images can be attached and viewed during meter reading verification.

The images can be saved at the metering point.
A measure can be created directly during meter reading events.

Device-specific documentation (e.g. for multimess D9-PQ) is now stored at the metering point.
New online help system with full-text search.

Upgrade notes for upgrading from version 5.1 to 5.x

When upgrading from a 5.1 system to later versions, please note the following:

	System requirements: Please note the hardware and software requirements.
	The “CSV Import – Multiple Metering Points in One File” workflow is not yet available; it will be released with the first service update.
	In version 5.1, the Excel WCF service – and therefore the Excel add-in – was able, among other things, to retrieve and display live data from Busmaster via visual energy. This feature is no longer supported. The WCF service now only allows database data to be retrieved from visual energy.
	The Busmaster file import workflow no longer exists. Files (EN 50160 reports) are now imported automatically and are immediately available in the metering point.
	The maintenance service must be reconfigured and now uses the mail server configured in the visual energy system configuration. In version 5.1, this was a separate configuration option. There was also an option here called “KBR SMTP server”. For security reasons, this option will no longer be supported in future.
	The Excel WCF service will be available via the following URLs in future: /Api/DataAccess.svc (SOAP) Api/DataAccess.svc/json (WEB/REST)
	For compatibility reasons, the previous URLs (/api/Services/ExcelWcfService.svc) can still be used in version 5.2. However, they are considered obsolete and will be removed in a future version.
	Direct reading and writing to the file system requires an explicit SMB share. Previously, some workflows (e.g. CSV export) could read files from the file system or write files to it. These must be updated once.
