Provides new easy to use multiway databinding between data, controls and objects.
- Added support for XML-RPC and JSON-RPC. Include kbmMWJSONRPCTransStream and/or kbmMWXMLRPCTransStream units
and select JSONRPC or XMLRPC as transport stream format in request/response transports.
- Updated TkbmMWONArray, added:
procedure MoveAppend(const AValue:TkbmMWONArray);
procedure MoveInsert(const AIndex:TkbmNativeInt; const AValue:TkbmMWONArray);
procedure CopyAppend(const AValue:TkbmMWONArray);
procedure CopyInsert(const AIndex:TkbmNativeInt; const AValue:TkbmMWONArray);

- Added function IkbmMWScheduledEvent.SyncQueued:IkbmMWScheduledEvent which works similar to Synchronized
except it will queue the operation and not block to prevent certain deadlock scenarios.
- Added IkbmMWScheduledEvent.AfterEnd and IkbmMWScheduledEvent.SynchronizedAfterEnd optional handlers
which will be called when the event has run and it is never to be run again (it is truely ending).
- Added IkbmMWScheduledEvent.Executed:boolean property that returns true if the event has been executed
at least once.
- Added properties OnAnonymousAfterEndProcedure:TkbmMWOnAnonymousScheduledProcedure and OnSimpleAnonymousAfterEndProcedure:TkbmMWOnSimpleAnonymousScheduledProcedure
to IkbmMWScheduledEvent. See AfterEnd explanation.
- Added property IkbmMWScheduledEvent.IsSynchronized which indicates if an event is running synchronized (or syncqueued).

Changes/minor additions
=======================
- Improved TkbmMWONNative.SetAsFmtString to correctly use AFormat.FormatSettings when handling decimal comma.
- Improved TkbmMWONArray.GetAsVariant and TkbmMWONObject.GetAsVariant to allow for returning embededded kbmMW supported object/record
as variant when needed for kbmMW SKUs supporting SmartService.
- Improved TkbmMWONArray.GetAsValue and TkbmMWONObject.GetAsVariant to allow for returning embededded kbmMW supported object/record
as TValue when needed for kbmMW SKUs supporting SmartService.
- Improved TkbmMWONArray.SetAsVariant and TkbmMWONObject.SetAsVariant to handle variant embededded kbmMW supported object/record
when needed for kbmMW SKUs supporting SmartService.
- Improved TkbmMWONArray.SetAsValue and TkbmMWONObject.SetAsValue to handle TValue embededded kbmMW supported object/record
when needed for kbmMW SKUs supporting SmartService.
- Improved TkbmMWONArray.Add(const AValues:array of variant) to handle variant embededded kbmMW supported object/record
when needed for kbmMW SKUs supporting SmartService.
- Updated class function TkbmMWProcess.ExecuteProcess to support optional TEncoding argument.
- Improved TkbmMWJSONStreamer to differenciate between number and integer, although JSON standard only knows about number.
It is of interest when converting object notation to other formats.
- Added optional argument const ABestMatch:boolean = false to TkbmMWRTTIKnownTypes.Get and GetClass functions.
If true and no known exact type is found, it will attempt to find usable parent type.
- Added optional const AWait:boolean = true argument to several TkbmMWScheduler.Unschedule and Clear methods.
- Updated kbmSQLite.pas adapter to respect default Journal mode and default page size.
- Improved updating SQLite journal mode and page size.
- Improved TkbmMWLinqStage.AsStrings to attempt better formatting of data.
- Improved REST transport stream format.
- Improved kbmMWCustomServerMessagingTransport.pas to allow encrypted subscription and unsubscription
message to be proxied without knowing key.
- Improved TkbmMWNullableReplacementVisualizer.
- Updated TkbmMWRESTAttribute, added Required property default false.
Indicates if an argument is required or not.
- Improved TkbmMWRTTI.GetQualifiedName to attempt to generate qualified names for non registered types too.
