DNPScop Master 1.9 - last standalone release

This is the last standalone release of DNPScop Master. The standalone tools are frozen: new features are developed in SCADAScop, which contains this tool together with all the others (and adds HMI displays, a Watch window, windows on several monitors and the scopctl terminal client). The standalone tool stays available and keeps receiving fixes.

What's new

• Import to RTU in the Live Data Map: every received point (group, index) that the RTU's Points map does not have yet becomes a map row, named by the map's own rule (BI 100); addresses already in the map keep their names and scaling. The button is enabled only when there is something to import and asks for confirmation first.
• Tag column in the map tables (binary inputs, analog inputs, counters, outputs): a name per point, saved with the workspace. It is what SCADAScop's displays, scripts and Watch window bind to, so a workspace prepared here opens in SCADAScop with its tags in place.
• Fix: the About text printed %APPDATA% through a printf format (garbled on screen).

Compatibility

• Workspaces of every previous version open unchanged. The new blocks are written only when used, and an older version ignores them.
• Settings stay in %APPDATA%\CommunicationTools (Linux: ~/.config/CommunicationTools), as since the previous release.
