MATLAB Connector (MLC) Improvements

Tool Improvements:

• Added support for Visual Studio 2017 & 2019 to build scripts. 
  
• Added support for up-to-date CMake version with architecture flag support to build scripts. 
  
• Added support for build folders on different drives to build scripts. 
  
• Added option to change the “Default Signal Port Type” for new signals. 
  
• Signal generator generates additional name and data-type information for each signal. This can be used for debugging/logging purposes. 
  
• Model & Signal generator now supports namespaces and using parameters. This provides more flexibility for application development. 
  
• Fixed error for Input-Panel signals when using “Auto” port type before setting a data-type for the signal. 
  

Templates:

• Application templates will initialize the display with the size specified inside that asset file instead of a hard coded value. 
  
• Improved continuous invalidation implementation (reduces messages sent). 
  
• Default-Construction-Kit Template has its “Default Signal Port Type” set to “Auto”. 
  
• Default-Construction-Kit Template now includes a “MLC-Event Action Behavior”which can be used in conjunction with
• Controls/Behaviors to receive react to control events in MATLAB. 
  
• Templates now generate Model into the “MLC” namespace. 
  
• Various code cleanups. 
  

Documentation:

• Updated “Prerequisites” and “Compiler Setup” chapters. 
  
• Added “Debugging” chapter. 
  
• Added “MLC-Event Action Behavior” chapter.
