OpenSCADA projects integration to the OpenSCADA core and UI.QTStarter

To unify and expand the functionality, and "openscada_start" script exploitation experience, the essence of the project was integrated into the OpenSCADA core and the module UI.QTStarter of the local graphical interfaces execution. Therefore, the OpenSCADA core, namely the primary "openscada" binary file, involves determining the configuration file, the data folder and the name by the specified project name and switching to that configuration. Creating the interface elements for selecting and creating new projects implements the UI.QTStarter local graphical interface module. Administrative functions of the project manager are moved to a separate command line script "openscada-proj" because of the specificity of these operations to the software platform, and therefore the need for a simple adaptation to this specificity.

The UI.QTStarter module also was significantly refactored and expanded for starting and collapsing to the system tray and for the custom control of the Look and Feels of the Qt interfaces.

OpenSCADA adaption and building for OpenWrt

OpenWrt ​is a highly extensible ​GNU/​Linux ​distribution for embedded devices ​(typically wireless routers). Unlike many other distributions for these routers, OpenWrt ​is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for your router. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a Linux kernel ​that's more recent than most other distributions.

In way of adaption to TELEOFIS RTU968 OpenSCADA was adapted also to build for the distribution OpenWrt and the renewal adaption for "C" library "uCLibC".
