ACS and ACS/FSA

• Apollo SDK v.2 ACS/FSA. You can now check active zones within a group as well as the group’s masking level. Digital lock simulation mode is now supported for readers. The AIO-168 panel’s inputs can now be masked. Minor bugs fixed.
• Castle/Sphinx ACS. Improved the algorithm for recording credentials into controllers. The dynamic recording of users, access levels and/or time zones means that changes applly only to the controller containing  altered credentials. This speeds up the procedure significantly. Other minor bugs have also been fixed.
