Released (on behalf of AFi)

Changed restrictions underList of unsupported and restricted elements

• added section BINARY_LIBRARIES ... END_BINARY_LIBRARIES (when creating custom libraries with user blocks)

• changed the information on vendor blocks (to be used, if the system integrator has approved their usage) to external libraries for the vendor blocks (to be used and integrated, if the system integrator has approved the usage of such libraries)
