Fixed
Fix subscription bookkeeping bug that lead to bad quality diagnostic tags.

Fixed an issue where alarm properties were not being logged to the journal during acknowledge events - most notably, the label property.

Fixed
Exception is now caught and logged gracefully during EAM upgrade of system with manually added pr_restype index.

Feature
Added the system.eam.runTask() scripting function.

Fixed
Fixed a rare issue where the driver would remain in an 'Idle' state.

Named Queries
Fixed
Fixed the formatting of a debugging message.
Tags
Fixed
Resolved an issue where system.tag.readAll() on individual bits inside of an array would falsely report NULL, instead of the value on the bits
Tags
Feature
Tag changes from scripts invoked by clients / designers are now audited.
Tags
Fixed
Fixed an issue where 'grandchild' or deeper UDTs would incorrectly export with their parent's overrides as their own, causing issues when re-imported.
