simCore::TimeStamp::strftime() is a new function that prints the time stamp using strftime() format string syntax.
simCore::TimeStamp::strptime() is a new function that generically parses a string into a time stamp, similar to the C strptime() function.
simCore::isAngleBetween() is a new method that determines whether an angle falls between a specified angle and sweep.
simCore::replaceExtension() is a new function that replaces the extension on an input filename.
simData:: DataStoreHelpers::setName() is a new function to set the name of an entity.

simData::MemoryCommandSlice::update() now correctly handles commands inserted before the current time.
