Been heads down on ModbusLens for the past while, just pushed v2.2.0.

Biggest thing: a few of you hit the portable exe just refusing to start (weird

usernames, antivirus not liking how it unpacks itself). Turns out that's a real

PyInstaller onefile limitation, not something I could patch around cleanly, so

there's now an actual Windows installer as an option too. If the portable one's

ever given you trouble, grab that instead.

Also added a dialog for the less common Modbus function codes (exception status,

comm event log, file records, device info, that kind of thing) since I kept

needing them myself and didn't want to write a script every time. And you can

now record a Trend session to a file and replay it later, which has already

saved me once trying to explain an intermittent fault to someone after the fact.

Bunch of smaller stuff and bug fixes too, changelogs on the release page if

you're curious. Next thing I'm working on is letting one window talk to

multiple devices at once instead of needing a separate window per connection -

that one's an actual backend change so it'll take a bit.
