In the 'PLC developer', a Python file can now be selected as a start
project on the Revolution Pi. This is transferred to the Revolution
Pi via the new XML-RPC function 'set_plcprogram'. This version is
available from 'revpipyload' 0.11.0.
This behavior is now similar to common file browsers, in which
further elements are selected by holding a button, but a new
selection begins with a simple click.
It could be selected between Python 2 and Python 3. Since Python 2 has
not been in support since 31.12.2019, it is now time to set the version
firmly to Python 3.
If the application is built with the Target app*, all license
information of the packages used is collected. These can now be
viewed in the GUI in the help menu.
Expunging all occurrences of inappropriate language of the query and
response paradigm of PLC communications. We are familiar with the Modbus
terminology and support this change.

An adapted version already exists for the server side. Since the server
side cannot be updated immediately, there is still a translation
function in this project to maintain compatibility.
The creation of folders was not clear and a bug could rename wrong
elements, which the user does not select.
Now connections and folders are handled in separat ways and the user can
add a new folder by pressing a button.
The fist connection uses the configured timeout of the revpi settings
object.
While the first connection, the user will see a connecting dialog, to
show we are alive and are working. The old behavior was a freezing UI.
Most events of the buttons was on pressed, which should not be used. Now
the debugcontrol buttons has a repeating pressed event, if you hold the
button, it will read the IOs every 200 ms. The shortcuts F4, F5, F6 to
read/write IOs are now application wide.
Start a complete new setting file with right naming. Import all old
saved connections from old settings file. Revolution Pi saved settings
are now in an own class with all properties and default values. All
modules are using this new setting class, which support the save
function.
