Fixes the CreateObject service list-of-initial-values encoding and decoding by refactoring the data structure to be similar to WriteProperty. The implementation changes from using a linked list of property values to using a flat buffer approach with delayed decoding.
Changes:
* Refactored BACNET_CREATE_OBJECT_DATA structure to use an application_data buffer instead of a linked list for initial values
* Added a new create_object_process() and create_object_initializer_list_process() functions to centralize object creation logic and error reporting
* Updated all device implementations to use the new centralized creation functions
* Enhanced the create-object example application to support command-line specification of initial property values
* Added comprehensive test coverage for the new encoding/decoding and processing functions
* Fixed BACnet file object path name unintended path traversals by optionally restricting path name content with BACNET_FILE_PATH_RESTRICTED define.
* Added POSIX file path name checking for AtomicReadFile and AtomicWriteFile example applications. Prohibits use of relative and absolute file paths when BACNET_FILE_PATH_RESTRICTED is non-zero.
* Fixed tokenizer_string() off-by-one buffer overflow when processing string literals longer than the buffer limit.
* Fixed ubasic potential string buffer overflows by using snprintf instead of sprintf.
* Fixed ubasic label strings to use UBASIC_LABEL_LEN_MAX as buffer limit.
* Fixed ubasic string variables to initialize with zeros.
* Fixed compile errors when UBASIC_DEBUG_STRINGVARIABLES is defined.
* Added ubasic string variables user accessor API and unit testing for ubasic string variables.
* Fixed tokenizer_label() off-by-one buffer overflow when processing string literals longer than the buffer limit.
* Fixed lighting-output object blink warn to honor blink-warn-enable.
* Fixed the blink warn logic for a non-zero percent value blink inhibit.
* Fixed the warn relinquish to actually relinquish.
* Refactored BACnetShedLevel encoding, decoding, and printing into separate file. Added unit testing.
* Added API to load control object for shed-level, start-time, duty-window, full-duty-baseline, and enable.
* Fixed bacapp sprintf for shed level and host-n-port found in scan build.
* Updated documentation for encode functions to accurately describe return values (0 on error instead of BACNET_STATUS_ERROR)
* Expanded property support, removed INPUT object types, added fallback encoding for non-coerced data types, and updated error handling in ReadProperty of present-value to check for 0 instead of BACNET_STATUS_ERROR.
* Expanded the validation tests and increased test code coverage.
* Fixed the loop object empty reference property by initializing to self. When configured for self, the manipulated property value will update the controlled variable value for simulation.
* Changed min/max output and update-interval defaults.
Added segmentation support for server devices for some services. Configure BACNET_SEGMENTATION_ENABLED=1 to include in the library, and adjust BACNET_MAX_SEGMENTS_ACCEPTED for maximum number of segments.
* Refactored the BACnet/SC datalink initialization order by moving certificate file checks and hub connection registration to occur after datalink initialization
* Replaced stdlib rand() with platform-specific cryptographically secure random functions (RtlGenRandom for Windows, getrandom for Linux, arc4random_buf for BSD) to generate UUID and VMAC addresses, preventing duplicates that broke connections
* Enabled conditional debug output in BACnet/SC components when BUILD=debug is specified
* Added a new getter API function Timer_State_Change_Value_Get() to the timer object that returns state-change values by copying them to a caller-provided buffer, providing a safer alternative to the existing Timer_State_Change_Value() function which returns a direct pointer to internal data.
* Added ListElement service callback for storing data.
* Added Audit Log and Time Value objects to basic device.
* Added Audit Log object to Makefile and CMake builds.
* Added basic timer object, internal state machine, and unit tests
* Added BACnetTimerStateChangeValue encode, decode, parse, print, and diff with unit tests
* Changed handler of add/remove list element to check if the property is a BACnetLIST
* Added BACnetLIST utility for handling WriteProperty to a list.
* Fixed outlier ReadProperty object handlers to return zero when the RP parameter is NULL.
* Added Device_Object_Functions_Find() API to enable override of basic object API function.
* Added Device_Object_Functions() API to return basic object API table of functions for all objects.
* Fixed units property declaration in basic Analog Input header file to be uint16_t instead of uint8_t.
* Added range checking of units property in example objects WriteProperty handler.
* Converted device object test to use common read-write property test. Extended the basic BACnet device object example API.
* Created BACnet/IP and COV test mocks to enable device object testing with less dependencies.
* Fixed the lighting command RAMP TO ramp rate to always clamp within 0.1 and 100.0 to avoid endless rate of 0.0.
* Fixed the use of default fade, ramp, or step when those optional parameters are missing from lighting command.
