Hi IoT Edge developers,

 

As IoT Edge runtime version 1.1.0 was declared as first long term servicing (LTS) release,  we are happy to announce our respective IoT Edge developer tools now support the runtime version 1.1 to help develop, simulate, debug and test.

 

Following tools now support IoT Edge runtime version 1.1.0:

 

 

For Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio, we have added menu for the user to select the default IoT Edge Runtime version (1.0 or 1.1) in deployment manifest template. The selection will also invoke the corresponding runtime version in simulator.

The default runtime version for all the tools are 1.1.0.

 

[Visual Studio Code]

In command palette (F1 key), we have added the following command for user to select the default IoT Edge runtime version. The changes are reflected in image URL for system modules described in deployment.template.json in your solution.
