 Add-ons:
  - Added support for xDriverRestartDevice call
+ - Added feature to tell if the remote device has a permanent 
+   connection, that does not drop connection on resets
+   For this feature you need to set define HIL_MARSHALLER_PERMANENT_CONNECTION
 
 Bug fixes:
  - Added CRC checking for usChecksum in the netXTransport header
