- new options on command line available for caQtDM: -cs for specifiying default plugin to be used, -options for passing options (key, value pairs) to plugins - use now the QStringlList editor in Designer for semicolumn separated strings - mobile handling of config files slightly modified - adjustment of fonts for android modified / apply button of caapplynumeric is now resizable - resizing was perturbed by a resize forced by incoming channel data. - the vertical label has now an alignment property - cacartesianplot was not always well triggered when a trigger channel was specified, now corrected - camimebutton added in order to start applications defined through the file extension - cawavetable can now adapt its rows and columns automatically when zero is specified. - an enum can be display in calineedit as number when enumeric is specified as format (otherwise as string in all cases) - a multistring widget has been added to display waveforms with chars and strings (in case of chars a \n will make a new line) - initialisation of the first stripplot values with nan instead of zero. Value zero was confusing. - added the possibility to clear the messages through the file menu - in case of -attach with a huge macro, the shared memory was designed too small. now 2 kBytes can be transferred - camultilinestring has been implemented in order to mainly display char waveforms where carriage returns (ascii code 13) will produce a new line - cameter was not updating its label for Qt5; this has been corrected - some possible buffer overrun conditions corrected - one can choose now the number of divisions for x on castripplot - tooltip for properties are now present in psi patched version of Qt4.8.2 and for Qt5.6.0 and higher - tooltip for caQtDM objects will integrate the tooltip given by the designer - signal emit of cacalc has now also its integer and double value (this way you can for example switch the tabwidget pages with a cacalc that is updated by a soft/real channel) - pep emulation has been updated by cosylab - some slots have been added in order to link signals and slots in designer - QStackedWidget will also optimize its io for visible/hidden tabs - color handling for calineedit has been slightly changed in order to be able to get white on red in case of a major alarm (wanted for pep handling) - cartesianplots have now a group property in order to be able to align the horizontal scale (vertical label rectangle gets same width) - when a pep file and an ui file were displayed by caQtDM, some resize problems and a problem with capolyline was detected; is now solved - cainclude can handle now multiple instances of the same file in column, row or rowcolumn mode and use for each instance another macro

- caQtDM has now a controlsystem plugin structure. CS can be added by writing a plugin (see demo plugin) that will automatically be loaded. By specifying the plugin in front - of the pv name (i.e epics3://somepv) that plugin will then be used. - fixed a small problem while writing a string to epics (could crash) - the build files have been simplified - edl2ui enhanced (by Lucas Carvalho) - several warnings (mainly on mac osx) solved - capolyline was not resizing correctly, this has been now corrected - a string containing a semicolumn was only displayed up to the semicolumn, this is corrected now. - cacamera and cascan2d got display of selected values and readback values with different representations and may therefore write values to the CS - soft variable bug corrected (was not always found when wrting) - catextentry got input dialogs (filedialog in case of strings, otherwise simple dialog) - activ widgets were always brought in front. Now you can choose if you let the designer define the layer - QTextBrowser can be used with macro substitution. The file that will be read in, will be watched for changes and will automatically be reloaded - a vertical label has been implemented

- caQtDM will now also download from http when CAQTDM_URL_DISPLAY_PATH is defined - When starting with the option -httpconfig you will get the configuration screen in order to use network files as in mobile apps. - macros can now also be read when specifying -macrodefs filename - caMessageButton can be disabled/enabled by a second channel - configdialog for http configuration slightly changed - Zai added some edl objects - added cabytecontroller,for reading and setting individual bits - camenu: prevented scrolling of menu with mouse scroll while it interferes with scrollareas - changed default direction of caByte in parser.c in order to be compatible with MEDM - softpv name can now contain a macro - added calc string to info window - severity of a char/string record was not considered and is corrected, Char waveforms longer as 1024 were not displayed in calineedit and is corrected. - softpv's in include file enabled - more colortables for caCamera, caScan2D, caWaterfallPlot - caScan2D added - added a clock allowing to display normal time or reception time of a process variable; alarm handling can be enabled to colorize the clock - added a new dial - problem with soft pv corrected - QTextBrowser can be used with macros in order to dynamically load files for display them in this textbrowser - modified the configdialog for ios and android - prevent caQtDM from crashing when maxvalue and minvalue have the same value. - for some images, the last row was missing and is corrected now

- many changes involving android - many changes for iphone, epics can now also reconnect after being suspended - calineedit a bit more performant - on ipad/iphone files were aways downloaded, this has been optimized - graphic plugings were missing on osx/ios, has been corrected - prevented crash on exit - cacamera can be displayed without toolbuttons and will be zoomed in ints container - cascriptbutton has now the possibility of a macro in its parameter - truncate in calineedit is now implemented
