bq34z100-G1 v0.19 build 22

* Update units of AvailableEnergy and AveragePower to 10mWhr and 10mW
      respectively.

bq34z100-G1 v0.18 build 21

* Fixed underflow issue in Calc_LoadVolatage()
* Exposed FullChargeCapacity_CWH as SBS Register

bq34z100-G1 v0.16 build 17

* Fixed VOK not being set for dod valid for qmax condition

bq34z100-G1 v0.16 build 16

* Qmax is not allowed to udpate after charge in relax mode for NiMH, it's updated only after discharge
  in relax mode
* Fixed Relax Smooth Ok option bug, remcap/fcc would be smooth in relax when RelaxSmoothOk is enabled
  along with somoothing
* Fixed changing temperature affecting SOH calculation
* Fixed terminate charge for NiMH immidiately for DELTA_V option once pack voltage > Qual Voltage and
   delta time/delta voltage are set to 0
* Increased the lower range of Cell Term Min Value DF parameter setting
* Add seperate DF paramter for NiMH/LeadAcid 1st Qmax uddate, default is set to 50%

bq34z100-G1 v0.15 build 15

* Added support for bq34z110/bq34z120 hardware

Versioning

All releases have 3 segment versions, DEV number, Version number, and Build number. The DEV number is the base part, and remains same for all versions. The Version number change occurs for each new Rev. The Build number increments each time for a new release, and is counted separately in each individual DEV.

The TEST builds usually use “0” as the Version number, while the other two segments stick to the default rules.
