[Мария Фоканова]

The group policy tools updated:
* GPUI editor;
* gpupdate application module;
* GPResult application results display tool.

Policy version support added: editing a policy changes its version now; 
gpupdate checks the version and downloads only the changed policies.

Policy (GPT) version support is added to the group policy application 
tool in ALT distributions: editing a policy values results in policy 
version change.
Extended actions in the console: the key with auto-completion --force 
forcibly loads policies (GPT) from the controller.

Support Preferences and all GPO system objects related to the system are 
stored in the dconf database. The order of applying of gpupdate 
mechanisms is changed - Software Management is applied in the final stage.

Fixed Policy value processing, Shortcut policies setup, KDE policies 
applying mechanism, windows network directories assignment.

Samba 4.20.4 support for the graphics editor GPUI 0.2.55 added. Policy 
version (GPO) support added: editing a policy changes its version now. 
Logging system added.

The GPO version changes after launching GPUI and as well as editing GP, 
which allows gpupdate to apply the correct version of the Group Policy 
object. GPT.INI file processing plugin added (for Script policies). 
Fixed URL list-based policies applied to the Windows client. Group 
Policy editing checkout, especially Software Management, File Copying 
mechanism, Installing and Uninstalling Applications are adjusted. 
Interface interaction, including Firefox setting options, is improved.

The new GPResult analytics tool as part of Group Policy is created to 
display an applied Group Policy list. GPResult uses applied Group Policy 
data from dconf database after gpupdate utility running. The tool 
provides data for the user in the current session on this machine.

Version 0.0.2 displays the list of User and System Preferences without 
configured settings added to the output (a dash in the Value column).
