Cluster Fixes

[Fix: 13] Cluster building fix for element names
[Fix: 14] Fix for extraction of cluster elements by name

Scalar to String + fixes

Release Notes:

• [Feature #6] KVP Parser now uses openScalar methods for string conversions, and cluster/array are now streamlined
• [Feature #8] KVP Parser and KVP to Strict Variant have been replaced by methods enforcing Dot notation for decimals, leaving a copy of existing methods intact for backward compatibility
• [Feature #9] OpenScalar library includes Scalar to String and String to Scalar for all floating types
• [Feature #10] Added a Get System Decimal Separator method
• [Fix #11] Cluster maps correctly when comparing directly with cluster from unnamed elements

Three-way conversion (Variant, Tree, Key-Value pairs)

[Fix: 2] KVP Parser now uses a smarter String to Path conversion which support NI-LVConfig/OpenG/OpenSerializer encoding

• Tree to Variant or KVP
• KVP to Variant or Tree
• TypeDescriptor from Variant

[OpenStringFormatter]

• New OpenStringFormatter class to expose a formatter class (Variant to String)
• StringFormatter with label + support timestamp

[Misc]

• Diverse Flattened String in-line handling

Community Release

Changed to 0-clause BSD license for deployment on VIPM Community Network

Undefined Array Types

1.2.2.8

KVP for Arrays

KVP Parser array element types-- check if compatible even if not identical.

Event Reference Class Types

Added support to return the Event reference types (class of event) for Event Registration Refnums

• support for Controls, Panes, Splitters, VI References and Application References.

Support for List Element Names and Unnamed Cluster KVP

• Added support in KVP Parser for casting unnamed clusters to a typed cluster as a whole (instead of broken down into all subparts)
• Added support for "List Element Names" for Event Registration Refnum

Enum support in Key-Value Pair parser

Adding support for enums (U8, U16 and U32) for key-value pair recognition and replacement into any prototype.
