#8: Topology Changes
====================

Topology Changes
****************

With Karabo 2.9.0, the ``Topology Tabs`` in the ``Navigation Panels`` are
adjusted for an improved usability.

The ``System Topology`` gets significant changes. The main changes are:

* Classes will not immediately show if there is no device
* It is not possible anymore to instantiate from the ``System Topology``
* Classes can be selected, but the class description (schema) cannot be configured

   System Topology with the Hierarchy: Host - Server - Class - Device

The ``Device Topology`` is adjusted regarding the names. Instead of
*Domain - Type - Member* it will show in the future the full **control name**
with **Domain - Type - Name**.
