NOTES
- the functions oapc_tcp_send() and oapc_tcp_recv() of liboapc have changed, PlugIns and other code that
make use of them have to be checked and changed: oapc_tcp_send() will cause compile errors that can be
found easily because a parameter was removed; calls to oapc_tc_recv() have to be ckecked manually, here
the return value has changed from bool to int so that the return value has to be compared with the
length of data to be loaded instead checking the result for TRUE or FALSE

NOTES:
- the Plug-In-interface has been changed, the value parameter in oapc_get_num_value() and
oapc_set_num_value() needs to be "double" now instead of "float"; custom external Plug-Ins
need to be changed and re-compiled
CHANGES
- bug fixed in conversion flow elements: only a HIGH signal is accepted as clock
- before a project is executed it is now precompiled to optimize execution time and resource
consumption
- listbox Plug-In extended by two character outputs for single/double clicked entries
- specification enhancement: execution time of single element limited to less than 50 msec
- new flow element: digital SR-Flip-Flop
- new flow elements for comparison of digital, numeric and character data
- new flow elements for numeric, digital, character and binary gate
- new flow plug-in: file and directory dialogue
- new flow elements: digital, numeric, character and binary shift register
- new flow elements: digital, numeric, character and binary NOP (no operation)
- flow management changed to run completely synchronous now
- bug in player fixed: flow timeout value is fully used now
- option introduced to allow loopbacks for mathematical and logic flow elements
- option "convert to dots" in Mixed2Char converter corrected
- read-only-functionality of text control corrected
- representation of flow connection lines in flow editor enhanced
- drawing and binary data handling bugs fixed in flow editor
- bug fixed in handling of binary data related to external plug-ins
- all Plug-Ins that use the serial interface now access the related functions of liboapc to
save resources
- support for functional macros implemented that encapsulate groups of elements and can be
added to a project directly from within the flow editor
- liboapc: common library introduced to provide a resource-saving set of standard
functionality
- new Plug-In XML-element
- bug fixed in duplicate-functionality of HMI elements
- flow editor enhanced: working space can be extended not only at the borders
- editors extended for easier creation of projects (repeat last created element)
- internal representation of numeric data changed to cover a much bigger range
- bug fixed in Num2Bits-converter
- bugs fixed in configuration dialogue of mathematical flow elements
- new Plug-Ins: Modbus TCP and RTU, LCDproc, EMail-Notifier, Panasonic Minas and
IMS MDrive Plus motion controllers
- bug fixed in Parallel Stepper Motor Driver
0.3-2BETA
- serious bug fixed related to application flows
- serious bug fixed related to execution of OpenDebugger and OpenPlayer
- data flow bugs fixed in Num2Char and Num2Digi converters
- new flow element type "Motion" introduced, Plug-In-constant OAPC_FLOWCAT_MOTION
- wrong scaling of flow element property dialoge corrected
0.3BETA
- standardized interface to other applications implemented and specified
- data type in Plug-In-function oapc_paint() changed from wxWindow to wxPanel
- XML structure extended by tag(s): fontbutton
- tag implemented for load/save buttons to define file extension filters
- numerical controls extended with inputs for dynamic minimum and maximum values
- toolbar in editor extended by buttons for editing and deleting HMI elements
- new program flow elements: gate for data forwarded on digital trigger signal
- new HMI plug in: ListBox
- new Flow plug in: Dialogue
- converter flow elements to and from CMD/calue pairs implemented
- new error codes OAPC_ERROR_RECV_DATA and OAPC_ERROR_SEND_DATA

has become obsolete for Plug-Ins
