- Added ability to specify approval file. Useful if several tests should all produce the same results. As an example I added this feature for blue because I wanted to support long and short cli options. -l and --list should both produce the samething. I didn't want to have to maintain separate approval files for each test and run the risk that perhaps they would diverge and I wouldn't notice.
- Also added a decorator to allow for combining a folder and shared approval files.

- Added a new Namer, Namer with Folder, to put approved files into a separate folder. You can set it in the Options Class. By default it puts the approval files (*.recieved.* and *.approved.*) into an Approvals subdirectory. You can optionally specify any relative path. The path is relative to the path of the test VI. Currently does not suport absolute paths. I may add that in the future if there is demand.

- Added a Default Diff Reporter built in LabVIEW supplied by Anton Sundqvist - thank you Anton! This means that you no longer need to install WInMerge or Beyond Compare to view the diffs. I still recommend BeyondCompare though since it is a very nice tool.
- Added code to the reporter interface to check if in Unattended Mode and report nothing in that case, since presumably that means you are running as part of CI pipeline and you don't want to hang the machine.

- Added individual verifies for extension to pallettes under an advanced subpallette. This is in addition to the existing New Verify ... Merge VIs. I added so that now you can drop them individually or using Quick Drop.

2 Minor Dev Improvements

Improvements came from a merge request from Anton Sundqvist

- Updated dependencies to include JSONtext and JSONtext Opbject Serialization.
- Add a Custom Diff Tool Option. Only works in Windows. Set an environment variable named LV_APPROVALS_CUSTOM_DIFFTOOL. An example value for Notepad++ would be:
notepad++ -pluginMessage=compare "%RECEIVED%" "%APPROVED%"
The %APPROVED% and %RECEIVED% get replaced with the path to the recieved and approved files.
With this, one can now use any 3rd party difftool on Windows that is callable from the command line.
