2020-05-30 RELEASE

FILES:
GXT5-MCU-V180-DSP-V150(5-10K)(HV,I).bin

1. Changed the user setting and factory default value of [Guaranteed Shutdown] to "disabled" to reflect the use-case of the majority of customers. 
2. Changed the user setting and factory default value of [Battery Periodic Test] to "enabled" to allow automatic battery self checks.  The default interval for battery self checks is 8 weeks, but this can be changed in the settings menu.
3. Improved the behavior of [Any Mode Shutdown] by checking the state of the dry contacts during power up after a utility outage and return.  If the contacts are cleared during the outage, the UPS will now power back on automatically when the utility returns.
4. Improved the complete local UPS shutdown procedure by adding step-by-step instructions to the LCD when a full shutdown is initiated.

7. Improved the responsiveness of the status updates reported through the USB HID / Windows OS.
8. Added ability to switch the temperature readings from C to F.
9. Added Italian language to the LCD.
10. Changed the name of the setting [Battery Replacement Time] to [Battery Last Replaced] and updated the default time from 2017-12-14:00:00:00 to the date/time of production.
11. Corrected the issue where "unavailable" was being displayed in the [Battery Temperature] field in the RDU101 web interface.
12. Added legacy GXT4 datapoints to the RDU101 interface: BatteryCharger, BatteryFloatVoltage,  DeviceManufactureDate.  (RDU101 FW v1.4 required.)
