Hi Cesar, well I guess we’ll leave them both in for now and not do any renaming ... the main difference, I guess is also the different default optimizer.
You can currently run the S7 with the new optimizer, but you have to explicitly tell it to do so, and the S7-Light will use the new optimizer and you can make it use the old one, via config option. We should probably let both run for a while and I’ll inspect if I am seeing improvements with the full version. Right now I am hesitant to drop the s7-light as it was such a hastle to get things runnig smoothly. Chris Von: Cesar Garcia <cesar.gar...@ceos.com.ve> Datum: Donnerstag, 22.

Hi Chris, I've already tested the S7 versions and fixed a bug it was experiencing. I've compared both drivers (S7 and S7-light) and the failure rate is currently the same. Identifying the bug is quite difficult in both cases due to their architecture and the randomness of the occurrence. I can tell you that the bug is outside the S7Mux, so the problem isn't with the driver's pub/sub capabilities. In my particular use case, a name change would affect computers that are currently running 24/7 at a high transfer rate, so I'm very attentive to the details. There are many hours of testing, and more to go, so I need to focus on one problem, not two.
