Release Notes
Release V3.0.0 (New Major Release !!)
===============
Boost (C++ Libraries) boost::process V1 has been deprecated so this updates to use V2 (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_87_0/doc/html/boost_process/v2.html)
The ability to use the "cmd" of Start Call.vi has been removed in-line with the boost::process API changes. However, this library now includes a "Lookup Executable Path.vi" which will find the full path of an executable from the system's PATH with just the executable's name to allow for similar behavior if required.
The On-Exit event now includes any data from the Standard Output and Standard Error pipes that had not yet regex-matched and been generated as Std-Out/Std-Err events.
Configuration has been simplified to a cluster to avoid custom configuration classes being required.
The conversion on Windows platforms from UTF-16 can now be specified to be either UTF-8 or the ACP or OEM code page character encoding.
NI-Linux RT deployment has been simplified to copying a single .so file (this can be achieved from the LabVIEW Project with a source-distribution build under the RT-Target).
