		+
		+	== Version History ==
		+
		+	v2.1 (by Dybal)
		+	* Fixes bug parsing the missionVariable when it holds an empty string.
		+	* Defines scriptInfo.towbar_max_salvage_price for Shield Cycler and Shield Cycler Manual Configurator Standard and Advanced.
		+
		+	v2.0 (by Dybal)
		+	* Adds functions for other OXPs to award and remove Shield Cycler equipments to NPC ships.
		+	* Higher level function to be used by other OXPs to adjust shields through Shield Cycler.
		+	* Feeds Shield Capacitors energy into the shields before adjusting if they are installed and charged for both player's ship and NPCs.
		+	* Most functions for other OXPs are NPC-ready and should be called with the ship's script as context for NPCs.
		+	* EQ_SC_SHIELD_CYCLER_INTERNAL and EQ_SC_MANUAL_CONFIGURATOR_INTERNAL are not used anymore (but kept for backwards compatibility), the ship keeps the versioned EQ_SHIELD_CYCLER_<version> and EQ_SC_MANUAL_CONFIGURATOR_<version> equipments that are sold at Ship Outfitting (F3).
		+	* The installed equipments are the "source of truth" and the settings object will be adjusted to reflect them; for player's ship, that happens at every launch, for NPCs only when the _sc_award_equipment, _se_equipment_setup or _sc_retrieve_devices are called.
		+	* Doesn't refund the Shield Cycler equipment value when the player buys a new ship: if the old ship was part of the payment, the equipment value (EQ_SC_SHIELD_CYCLER_<version> and EQ_SC_MANUAL_CONFIGURATOR_<version> keep their acquisition price, while EQ_SC_<equipment>_INTERNAL had 1Cr for price) was factored in the old ship's resale value; if not part of the payment, the ship was stored in Hyperspace Hangar with the Shield Cycler equipment installed.
		+	* Energy cost is now proportional to the energy actually transferred between shields instead of a flat-fee for energy transfer range (that was prohibitive for the small transfers that occur after a little while in combat).
		+	* _sc_store_devices (used by Ship Storage Helper OXP) doesn't remove the Shield Cycler devices from the ship.
		+	* _sc_retrieve_devices (used by Ship Storage Helper OXP) is now functional, the bugs have been squashed.
		+	* Major code re-factoring and many small bug fixes.
		+	* Should still be backwards compatible, i.e., a savefile of a player ship with Shield Cycler v2.0 should still work with Shield Cycler Next 1.12.
		+	* Changes from OXPConfig to Library, drops use of Cabal Common Library.
		+	* Can be promoted from development to production version.
		+
		+	v1.12.1
		+	* upon repair, equipment wasn't removed which made consecutive repairs impossible
		+	* transfer needed in aft & forward setting was calulated wrong, this could sometimes result in unwanted free shield strength out of nowhere.
		+	* With capacitors and shieldcycler both active, there were some weird effects.
		+	* Although codewise they don't clash, i've changed the code so that SC will only cycle AFTER relevant capacitors are emptied.
		+
		+	v1.12
		+	* new stable version
		+	* small fixes
		+
		+	v1.11.3
		+	* Upon buying a new ship, shield cycler devices were not removed anymore, corrected.
		+	* small fixes
		+
		+	v1.11.2
		+	* Cabal Common Library and OxpConfig are now required dependencies
		+	* new external methods _sc_store_devices & _sc_retrieve_devices : allows Ship Storage Helper to store/retrieve ships with SC devices installed correctly
		+
		+	v1.11.1
		+	* bugfix in shipLaunchedEscapePod
		+	* implemented 1.82 functionality
		+	* Minimum Oolite version is now 1.81
		+
		+	v1.11
		+	* switch from unbreakable equipment to loss of functionality when damaged; used schema :
		+	:every direct hit will reduce functionality by 10% , but it won't go below 40% functionality
		+	:since the presence / absence of shield booster and mil shields already influences SC performance, there is no additonal functionality loss when they are damaged
		+	* new repair option when docked (F3 screen)
		+	:repair price :
		+	::calculate total price of all installed SC devices
		+	::multiply by .5
		+	::multiply with (100 -functionality)/100
		+
		+	v1.10.2
		+	* oxpcSettings : switched from Notify to DynamicNotify
		+	* conflicts with ShieldCycler 1.0 oxz
		+	* released as oxz
		+
		+	v1.10.1
		+	* small bugfixes
		+
		+	v1.10
		+	* Major rewrite: code split over many (currently 9) script files instead of 2 to improve maintainability / flexibility.
		+	* objects are used to share information between scripts where possible
		+	* oxp disables itself if savegame to old or to new.
		+	* start/stop functionality changed
		+	* new option through oxpconfig to disable entire oxp (the options for pilots to disable Shield Cycler were limited and dependant on having certain equipment).
		+	* use JSON for missionvariables
		+	* add functionality for npc ships to use shield cycler (npc ships wanting to use this will need a custom ship script to give them shield functionality, an alternative would be to adjust customshields oxp to use this new functionality)
		+	* display device versions & damage level on F5+F5 screen (damage level won't change until 1.11.0 )
		+	* power loss for changing configuration was 2 * (nr_of_energybanks + 1) , this led to a ship with 8 banks loosing almost an entire bank of energy after just 3 changes. new formula : nr_of_energybanks + 5
		+	* added shipLaunchedEscapePod event
		+
		+	v1.0
		+	* added code to test for savegames created with 1.10+ (JSON)
		+	* minor fix in equipment.plist
		+	* license changed to CC-by-SA 4
		+	* released as oxz & oxp
		+
		+	v0.31
		+	* new function : b-key sets shieldcycler back to whatever the launch setting is
		+	* optimizied & simplified code
		+	* updated CCL / OxpConfig requirements
		+	* added manifest.plist to oxp
		+	* requires Oolite 1.80
		+
		+	v0.30.3
		+	* adjusted to work with CCL 1.6 & OxpConfig 2.0.12
		+
		+	v0.30.2
		+	* small fixes
		+	* updated to check for recent cabal_common & oxpconfig versions
		+	* auto-sell cycler devices when player buys a new ship
		+
		+	v0.30.1
		+	* bugfixes
		+	* encountered problems related to different JS execution contexts for equipment event handlers, shipscript event handlers and worldscript event handlers, rewrite has as side-benefit that the code no longer uses global vars ( except missionvars) .
		+	* added sc_stop & sc-start functions so other oxps can stop/start cycler functionality
		+	* more in-script documentation
		+
		+	v0.21.2
		+	* added configurable options - requires Cabal Common Library 1.4.1 (or later) and OxpConfig2 2.03 (or later)
		+	* If CCL / OxpConfig2 are not present or to old, everything works but there will be no configure options
		+	* cleaned up/ optimised code
		+
		+	0.20.1
		+	* cycling to forward when forward shield was at full strength used energy, corrected.
		+
		+	v0.20
		+	* brought back disabled setting (was removed in 0.14 )
		+	* shipLaunchedFromStation didn't check if player has a shield cycler, fixed
		+	* Equipment names changed to EQ_SC_AAAAAA scheme
		+	* variables now all start with sc_
		+	* both automatic and manual versions are now available, see above for details
		+	* halved power needed for switching configuration, as old number meant 4 switches would drain a complete energybank
		+	* preparations to use OxpConfig for changing settings in later version
		+
		+
		+	v0.14
		+	* Basic Shield cycler made incompatible with Shield Booster and Mil. Shields
		+	* Standard Shield cycler incompatible with Mil. Shields
		+	* cycling the configuration now subtracts 4 * # of energy banks from ship energy.
		+	* adjusting also uses shield energy, but the amount is now fixed and related to the transferred amount of shield energy.
		+
		+
		+	v0.13
		+	* created basic, standard & advanced version incl. sell option.
		+	* cycling / adjusting uses ship energy
		+	* added EQ_Shield_Equalizer as incompatible equipment
		+	* clean / optimize code
		+
		+	v0.12
		+	* first public version with 1 device
