v1.19.0

What's Changed

We have a host of new features and a few bug fixes in this new version. One feature to note is the addition of the PyDMNTTable Widget to display and write to an epics NTTable. The update also adds the ability of pass a sub-field of an epics NTTable with the p4p plugin through to pydm widgets. The other big feature of note is an improvement in load time for any displays that use the same UI files repeatedly. For example a display using a template repeater should see improvement in load time now.
