5.10.00 Nov 10 2019

        New stuff
        =========
        - Huge amount of improvements to kbmMW SmartBind including
           See features explained in blog posts at components4developers.blog
           Data generators
           Listview VCL and FMX support
           Binding used string based settings.
           AutoBind which locates properties or methods which has the attribute kbmMW_AutoBind. The attribute can be either a string based binding or
           refer to a method which will be called during autobinding to setup all the required bindings for that particular instance.
           Binding to data proxies for clear model/view separation.
           Binding images/graphics
           Break values (grouping header) support (currently ListView)
           Binding kbmMWDateTime and kbmMWNullable
           Saving and loading binding definitions to/from object notation formats like XML, YAML, JSON etc.
           Horizontalscroll, verticalscroll and cell based grid binding.
        - Added kbmMWSmartEvent.pas. kbmMW SmartEvent is an advanced pub/sub based event mechanism to replace regular Onxxxx event handlers,
          making it much easier to separate concerns in an application. See videos and blogposts.
        - Added new TkbmMWConcatStream in kbmMWGlobal.pas. It allows multiple streams to seem as one when reading,
          without reallocating memory.
        - Added TkbmMWBoyerMoore class, containing multiple ways to search for sub data in data very quickly to kbmMWGlobal.
        - Added kbmMWSockClient.pas for a skeleton for an easy to use async client request/response setup. Currently in experimental phase.
        - Added support for REST to native TCP Transport.
