- GLOB_ISSUE_SCHEME
- GLOB_CHANGE_SCHEME
- LAYOUT_REVISION_HISTORY
- LAYOUT_CHANGE_HISTORY
- LAYOUT_CURRENTREVISION_OPEN
Door/Window/Wall end elements:
the following global variable was extended in its dimension:

New commands
Forward migration script:
- STORED_PAR_VALUE
This command is a new form of DELETED_PAR_VALUE. Both can be used to get the value of a parameter in a migrated object,
the difference is only in the circumstances: STORED_PAR_VALUE should be used with parameters present in both old and new object,
while DELETED_PAR_VALUE should refer to a parameter which got deleted between the 2 versions of the object, therefore only available in the old object.
