This release reflects the following Specifications:
FCG TS62769 Revision 1.3
New features or components in this release:
FDI Device Package IDE 1.5.1 contains critical updates to the HART Standard DD Library which is imported by developers into their *.fm8 EDD projects.

Important updates in this release include:
- HART Sample Package was updated to use latest HART Standard DDs (v2022.1)
- Package Signatures must be sha256 encryption
- HART Tokenizer extended to support INIT/EXIT ACTIONs in MENUs
- DeviceInfo bugs resolved
- Built-in execution bugs resolved in Device Model Services and EDD Engine
