Eclipse BaSyx 0.2.2 (Python)

- AAS meta model implementation

    - Native Python classes for simple creation and manipulation of AAS data in Python

    - fully compliant with Details of the Asset Administration Shell (Part 1) 2.0.1; Python classes closely resemble meta model classes in terms of class names, attributes and constructor arguments

        - Exceptions: No "Security" implementation, no HasDataSpecification support

    - collection of example objects for testing custom applications

    - functionality for resolving AAS Reference objects to AAS model elements from different sources

    - "Backend" system for synchronizing AAS model elements' data with external data sources

        - additional attribute to specify data source of individual AAS objects

        - unified interface for synchronizing AAS objects recursively with the respective data source

        - interface for implementing support for custom data source types

        - CouchDB backend for storing and synchronizing AAS objects with an Apache CouchDB

    - fully typed Python code, using Python 3.5 type annotations, compatible with recent MyPy versions

- AAS data serialization and deserialization

    - XML

    - JSON

    - AASX packages (Open Package Conventions)

    - fully compliant with Details of the Asset Administration Shell (Part 1) 2.0.1; tested and mostly compatible with AASX Package Explorer

- documentation and usage example (tutorial) scripts

- compliance checking command-line tool `aas_compliance_check`

    - check AAS XML, JSON and AASX files for syntactical and semantic standard-compliance

    - create standard-compliant sample XML, JSON and AASX files for testing a custom deserialization implementation

    - compare two XML, JSON or AASX files for equivalent contents
