Build 16.0.32

1. A problem with programs started by a serial or zwave receptions has 
   been resolved. While the programs were correctly started by their defined
   triggers, if the program contained the Test element with the "was started by"
   option, that test wouldn't operate correctly.

2. When modifying an alert using client-serve, any existing alert counts
   would not be preserved and set to zero. Now corrected.

3. A problem with the PowerTrack graph creation was resolved. Sometimes
   the bar charts would show incorrect data, or their creation would
   cause HCA to terminate.

4. A problem with selecting a text display in the left pane and the right
   pane not updating has been resolved.

5. If the schedule, as displayed in the left pane, is sorted by time
   and a modification of a schedule entry is made, it is was incorrectly sorted
   by device and not time after the modification. Now corrected to stay in
   the sort selection order.

6. In the Alert Manager, if the settings for an alert were modified in a 
   way that would change the current color for that alert, the Alert Manager
   wasn't updated. Now is.

7. The _IsOn, IsOff, and _IsDim expression functions when querying the state
   of a controller button (for example, _IsOn("Kitchen - Motion:2") in some
   cases would produce an incorrect result. Now corrected.


Build 16.0.31

1. A problem with retrieving status for the Global Cache relays and digital
   inputs was resolved.

2. A problem that could result in a voice assistant discovery not finding
   any devices was resolved. If you have this problem, contact technical support
   for more information.

3. These dialogs were modified to allow for easier selection of objects with 
   very long names.
   - Expression builder argument select
   - Change icon element properties
   - Tile editor, tile properties

4. Various program element properties dialogs were allowing the element
   properties to be set incorrectly without showing an error. Now resolved.

5. The Alert Manager configuration now has an option to create a handler
   program for the alert. This program is pre-configured with the appropriate
   parameters for the data supplied when the program is started.
 
6. The program elements: Stop, Blink, and Camera could display the incorrect
   device/program when the properties of the element was opened for modification.
   Now corrected.

7. The TEST element for "Is Suspended" showed the old "suspend kinds" even though
   those options were not used. Now removed.
   
8. The Phillips Hue connector would give an "odd" error message after using the
   "Find" button. Now resolved.

9. Added "Test Evaluate" buttons to Compute and Compute-Test visual programmer
   properties dialogs. Also, when in the debugger, a right-click menu "Evaluate"
   choice on these elements. These can help in getting complex expressions correct.

10. When querying the state of a GlobalCache (GC)input or relay, any program with
    a trigger on reception of a GC status report would be started. This was 
    different behavior from other protocols where only an unsolicited status
    report would trigger the program. Now changed to match other protocols.

11. When enabling the "Program operates as a device" option, some of the settings
    for "auto off" where incorrectly initialized. Now are.

12. When modifying the logs used for operations ("Tools" ribbon category, 
    "Log" Panel, "Log Usage" button) it wouldn’t in all cases put in effect
    the changes made. Now does.

13. Auto-Off logging wouldn't work unless it was directed to logs 2 or 3. Now 
    works with Log1 as well.

14. Added a new option to the PING programmer element. The IP address can
    now be determined from an expression that evaluates to a string of the form
    "a.b.c.d".

15. Added option on GlobalCache IR interface configuration. The new option is:

    [  ] Attempt to keep a full time connection instead of connecting as
         needed. Enable if using digital inputs as program triggers

    If HCA receives a "disconnect" message it notes it, and within a minute
    attempts to reconnect.

16. Added improved support for icon packages in the online library. Can now handle
    icons imported into multiple themes.

17. Changed the program notes viewer to automatically scroll to show the new
    notes added.

Build 16.0.30

1. A problem was resolved that could result in an abnormal termination of
   HCA when processing a class program when the class program doesn't complete
   its actions within the time limit for its execution.

2. A change was made to allow for serial and IP interfaces to have a reception
   delimiter of "None". If it is configured like that, then the message received
   from a single read is used to trigger programs and satisfy outstanding read
   requests. If the message is long and is split across multiple reads, then the
   program will have to reassemble it based upon its understanding of the data.

3. The Port I/O trigger offers to assign the reception text to a variable. This
   still operates as before but now in addition, the reception text is passed as
   the 1st argument to the started program.

4. Changed the library browser to show the version of packages previously
   imported from the library and to mark which ones need to be updated.

5. A bug in the "Special start" feature of HCA was corrected. If you start
   "HCA" while holding down the SHIFT key, it is supposed to start without
   autoloading your file and connecting to interfaces. Unfortunately,
   HCA would crash instead. Now fixed.

6. It was not possible to use User Class devices that were sensors - devices
   that don't have a load - in a Test element. Now is.

7. A problem with not being able to create state change triggers naming a
   user class device that's doesn't control a load - a sensor device - was
   resolved.

8. If a program was marked as "Operate like a device" and it was controlled
   ON or OFF from a client, the server would crash. Now fixed.

9. When importing a package from the library and upgrading an existing
   program in the package, any tags defined on the newer version program
   are now copied to the existing program if they don't already exist.

10. Now possible to add an email element to a program if email sending
    has not yet been configured. Makes it easier to create library 
    packages that use email sending. When executing an email element
    without messaging being configured, a program error happens.

11. Added to the Daily Report more info about any Alerts. Previously only
    the Alert log was shown and only those alerts since the last daily report.
    Now the non-zero alert counters and alert devices are shown.

12. Added to the daily report the next scheduled events of the current
    schedule. This can be configured in the daily report setup.

13. The _AddressForDevice didn't return a correct result for Samsung
    Smart Things sensors. Now does.

14. When importing a class, any global variables used by the class programs
    and exist in the design prior to importing do not have their values
    updated. But any notes about the variable are now imported.

15. Several changes to the program notes viewer.
    - Its minimum size is now smaller

    - On the system menu (click on the icon at the left end of the title bar)
      are checkmark enabled options for the date-time prefixes on each line.
      These options once set stay in effect.

    - You can now select more than one line in the display and use the Copy
      button to copy to the clipboard

    - The viewer window is now a window separate from the main HCA window, It
      can now be open on the desktop when the main HCA window isn't. Added
      a maximize and minimize buttons. 

16. The program notes window if open when using the program debugger didn't
    update as the program current element changed by stepping or running until
    a breakpoint. Now it updates to reflect the current element's notes.
 
Build 16.0.28

1. Added additional info to the connected clients list shown by the server.

2. Fixed a small bug in the UI of the Thermostat-Test element when testing the
   current temperature.

3. The function _AlertClear wasn't operating correctly. Now is.

4. A problem with the server could result in its inability to attach or communicate
   with any clients. When in this situation using the "Connected Clients" menu pick 
   in the server menu would result in Windows showing "Not responding".

   There was no trigger or action that can be specified that would cause this
   as it was a problem in interaction between multiple tasks in the server
   implementation. Now resolved.

5. There were some circumstances where the "Allow program to run with some program
   elements not connected" option was enabled and the program would remain
   marked as "Not ready to start". Now corrected.

6. Several problems with the new "disconnect inactive clients" client-server
   option have been resolved.

7. If the "auto reconnect on disconnect option" (HCA Options, Client-Server tab)
   was enabled, but the "Connect to the server at startup" option (HCA Options,
   Startup tab) was not enabled, and connection was made via the "Connect to
   Server option" in the application menu, then if there was a disconnect
   it wouldn't auto reconnect. Now resolved.
   
8. The Check-Icon element when the "Return icon to HCA Control" didn't clear any
   icon annotation (text written over the icon make by the _IconChangeEx Compute 
   function). Now does.

9. Changes in handling of the _IconChangeEx function for code 1. New doc:

   _IconChangeEx ("name", code, [arg3], [arg4], [arg5])

   Change the displayed icon for a device, program, group, or display. The 1st argument
   is the object whose icon is modified. The 2nd argument is a code.

   code=0 - Returns the icon to HCA control and resets the icon, icon representation,
            label, and annotation text

   code=1 - Changes the icon
   arg3: Icon name
   arg4: <Optional>Icon representation (0=On, 1=Off, 2=Dim)

   If the option 4th argument is present that sets the representation of the icon as
     specified. The state of the object doesn't change the icon representation.

   If the optional 4th argument is omitted, then while the icon image is changed, the
     state of the object controls the representation of the icon.

   code=2 - Changes the label text below the icon
   arg3: Label text

   code=3 - Change the text to the right of the icon if a theme with that feature is in use
   arg3: Text

   code=4 - Displays text over the icon ("annotation")
   arg3: Text (limited to 48 characters)
   arg4: <optional>Text size in points. If omitted uses 18
   arg5: <optional>RGB of the text color. If omitted uses black (Hint: Use _RGB function)

10. In client-server mode, making changes to the "inbound notification manager" could
    have the changes not show up until the client was disconnected and then reconnected.
    Now resolved.

11. When the HCA Cloud connects to the server to retrieve information on behalf of a 
    voice assistant (Alexa or Google Assistant), now only a limited amount of information
    is returned. This improves the speed of voice enabled object discovery.

12. Added new Compute element function:
    _HCAVersionGE (majorVersion, [minorVersion], [build#])

    Generates a yes/no value based upon the version of HCA running the program and the
    supplied arguments.   

    Example, assume that the current HCA version that is running the program is 16.0.28

    _HCAVersionGE(16) -> Yes
    _HCAVersionGE(17) -> No
    _HCAVersionGE(16, 0) -> Yes
    _HCAVersionGE(16, 1) -> No
    _HCAVersionGE(16, 0, 28) -> Yes
    _HCAVersionGE(16, 0, 29) -> No
    _HCAVersionGE(16, 1, 30) -> No

13. Added new Compute element function to delete a file
    _FileDelete ("file path")


Build 16.0.25

1. Initial release of version 16. See major release notes for changes from V15.
