Extended continuous mode

The continuous mode of equipment phases has been extended. In the project settings, you
decide whether you want to use continuous mode or extended continuous mode. So far,
equipment phases were automatically completed at the end of the batch in continuous mode
and the unit was released.
In extended continuous mode, the equipment phases can still be allocated to other batches
after the unit was completed and released. The equipment phases keep their "RUN" status.

Specification of order quantity in BatchCC and OS Controls

The values of the scheduled and actual order quantity or batch quantity are already displayed
in the property dialogs of the order in BatchCC and OS Control.
As of this version, this important information is also displayed in dialogs, reports, overview lists
and with access via API. To do so, a process parameter configured in basic engineering is
referenced within a master recipe. This process value is displayed for completed batches,
"Completed", "Stopped" or "Aborted" status, and it is used as basis for totals calculations in
order folders. Totals calculations only make sense if they refer to a uniform quantity unit. If the
quantity units are not uniform, the term <not unique> shows up for the unit of measure in dialogs
with information on quantity units.
