	Since 2021 the Tango Controls collaboration has improved and optimised its efforts in many areas. Not only have Special Interest Group meetings (SIGs) been introduced to speed up the adoption of new technologies or improvements, the kernel has switched to a fixed six-month release cycle for quicker adoption of stable kernel versions by the community. CI/CD provides now early feedback on test failures and compatibility issues. Major code refactoring allowed for a much more efficient use of developer resources. Relevant bug fixes, improvements and new features are now adopted at a much higher rate than ever before. The community participation has also noticeably improved. The kernel switched to C++14 and the logging system is undergoing a major refactoring. Among many new features and tools is jupyTango, Jupyter Notebooks on Tango Controls steroids. PyTango is now easy to install via binary wheels, old Python versions are no longer supported, the build-system is switching to CMake, and releases are now made much closer to stable cppTango releases.

THMBCMO15	Conan for Building C++ Tango Devices at SOLEIL	1227
	P. Madela, G. Abeillé, Y.-M. Abiven, X. Elattaoui, J. Pham, F. Potier SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France
	At SOLEIL, our Tango devices are mainly developed in C++, with around 450 projects for building libraries and device servers for our accelerators and beamlines. We have a software factory that has enabled us to achieve continuous integration of our developments using Maven, which manages project dependencies. However, Maven is uncommon for C++. In addition, it has limitations that hinder us from supporting future platforms and new programming standards, leading us to replace it with Conan. Conan is a dependency and package manager for C and C++ that works on all platforms and integrates with various build systems. Its features are designed to enable modern continuous integration workflows with C++ and are an ideal alternative to Maven for our C++ build system. This transition is essential for the upgrade of SOLEIL (SOLEIL II), as we continue to develop new devices and update existing systems. We are confident that Conan will improve our development process and benefit our users. This paper will provide an overview of the integration process and describe the progress of deploying the new build system. We will share our insights and lessons learned throughout the transition process. SOLEIL II: Towards A Major Transformation of the Facility. Conan - C and C++ Open-Source Package Manager

THPDP007	Rolling Out a New Platform for Information System Architecture at SOLEIL	1301
	G. Abeillé, Y.-M. Abiven, B. Gagey SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France P. Grojean, F. Quillien, C. Rognon, V. Szyndler Emoxa, Boulogne-Billancourt, France
	SOLEIL Information System is a 20-year legacy with multiple software and IT solutions following constantly evolving business requirements. Lots of non-uniform and siloed information systems have been experienced increasing the IT complexity. The future of SOLEIL (SOLEIL II) will be based on a new architecture embracing native support for continuous digital transformation and will enhance user experience. Redesigning an information system given synchrotron-based science challenges requires a homogeneous and flexible approach. A new organizational setup is starting with the implementation of a transversal architectural committee. Its missions will be to set the foundation of architecture design principles and to foster all projects’ teams to apply them. The committee will support the building of architectural specifications and will drive all architecture gate reviews. Interoperability is a key pillar for SOLEIL II. Therefore, a synchronous and asynchronous inter-processes communications is being built as a platform to connect existing systems and future ones; it is based both on an event broker and an API manager. An implementation has been developed to interconnect our existing operational tools (CMMS* and our ITSM*** portal). Our current use case is a brand new application dedicated to samples’ lifecycle interconnected with various existing business applications. This paper will detail our holistic approach for addressing the future evolution of our information system, made mandatory given the new requirements from SOLEIL II. * SOLEIL II: Towards A Major Transformation of the Facility CMMS: Computerized Maintenance Management System * ITSM: Information Technology Service Management
