the library.
- Fix incorrectly calculated PResTimeOut value.
- Fix incorrectly calculated number of days in configuration date (0x1F26).
- Fix MN mapping generation of non existing mapping indices.
- Bound the limit of number of cross-traffic channels for a CN to the feature 
'SPDORPDOChannels' value.
- Fix application-crash for configurations with large process-images.
- Fix handling MN PDO generation for non supported data types.
- Fix objects with defaultValue not equal actualValue are not exported.
- Validate non-hex actualValues according to their high/lowLimit.
- Avoid renaming of project file names.
- Fix Non-Unique channel names in xap.xml.

--------------------------------------------------------
              BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
--------------------------------------------------------
- The API is not backward compatible to older versions of openCONFIGURATOR.
- The projects created with v1.4.0 cannot be opened by older version of 
openCONFIGURATOR.

--------------------------------------------------------
                 LIBRARY UPGRADES
--------------------------------------------------------
- Upgrade the linked TCL library version to 8.6.x on Windows and Ubuntu 
14.04 32 and 64 bit platforms.
- Upgrade libxml2 and tablelist packages to the latest stable version.
- Add Boost v1.54.0 library dependency.

------------------------------------------------------------
              KNOWN ISSUES and WORK AROUND
------------------------------------------------------------
- Currently projects created with earlier versions of openCONFIGURATOR are not supported.
- In Windows only 32 bit is supported, install only Tcl/Tk 32 bit version
- The PDO mapping table does not auto calculate datasize for the complex datatypes.
   Workaround:
   1) Set Auto Generate to 'No'.
   2) Set the datasize in the mapping entry.
   3) Set Auto Generate back to 'Yes'
- MN PRes and PReq cannot be configured for simultaneous reception by a CN.
- Skipping of offset is not allowed for PDO mapping.
   Workaround:
    1) Set Auto Generate to 'No'.
    2) Create the CN and MN mapping with the required values.
    3) Build the project to generate the CDC.
