v2.29.0 (10-06-2026)

• Improved: Degraded mode now distinguishes between "TIA Portal not installed" and "TIA Portal installed but Openness API not enabled", providing tailored setup instructions for each case
• Improved: Degraded mode detects and displays the installed TIA Portal version (e.g. V19) even when Openness is missing
• Improved: TiaCommander Manager GUI now launches normally when TIA Portal is not installed (previously blocked with an error dialog), allowing license registration before TIA Portal setup
• Improved: Restart instructions in degraded mode guide users to use Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Task Manager for a clean restart
• Added: Telemetry now tracks degraded mode sessions with reason codes for better install-experience analytics
