Version	DD Services Kit Enhancements
Release 5.2.1 - July 2012	Add full support for TEMPLATE to TOK/DDS 5.2.1 as per IEC 61804-3 w/ old binary format fixed error decoding expanded attributes able to read long definition in symbol file
Release 5.2.0 - December 2010	Unicode enhancements for multi-language support Source updated to be compliant to Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) 9 added callback to have dd services notify dds client application of the file DDS actually loaded enhanced API for host to easily find blocks that have conditional items corrected calculation when counting number-of-points in waveform no longer defaults menu style if none defined corrected heap allocaion size when deleting comm_value list corrected errors related to graph cycle time now compliant with MSVC 9.0 editorial in FD-110 created a new section of FD-116 describing the method interpreter interface method_error_upcall() now provides context information method_error_upcall() now invoked by all error() methods cleaned up subheap size allocation in app_sup\rmalloc.c corrected buffer over-read fixed bug in out-of-memory check fixed bugs in get_adt_dd_device_id() and get_adt_dd_handle() method interpreter enhanced to allow such syntax: e.g. display_message("The Resource Block is in Auto.\n", 0, 0, 0) fixed memory leaks in resolve_ref() DDS now indicates binary is UTF-8 enhanced API for host to easily find blocks that have conditional items fixed error with reading grid when validity is defined fixed memory leak for conditional graph cycle-time
Release 5.1.2 - March 2009	integrated view of devices through DD Menus backwards compatible with all existing DD implementations cross block referencing new built-ins for device level menus UTF-8 encoding support enhanced support for grid interface updated for list.ELEMENT[i] reference corrected Japanese-SI unit suppression flag code as per FF-900/901 Updated FD-112 (and regenerated Table of Contents) & updated source code comments as per new List2 builtins corrected parameter types for delayfor2 builtin corrected parameter types for select_from_menu2 builtin corrected bltin_format_string2 to use app_info correctly fixed edit_local_value2 builtin added parameter cache function for long strings memset moved; it was overwriting the val.s.len field corrected bltin_format_string2 to handle '%' fixed uninitialized variable 'days' increased buffer size for strings support for LISTS block attribute (FF-900 FS 5.1) corrected ddl_do_eval_expr() when sending list.rec.elem call to return proper value added support for CYCLE_TIME to FLAT_GRAPH
