Cppcheck Premium 24.2.0 released

We are happy to announce the release of Cppcheck Premium 24.2.0!

This update addresses numerous false positives and a crash related to non-existent source files in project files. It fixes issues with running the premium addon in the GUI and ensures all relevant style checkers are run for MISRA/CERT/AUTOSAR compliance. The GUI now supports generating compliance reports for CERT C, CERT C++, and MISRA C++, including "unmapped" warnings/errors. There's improved validation of command-line arguments and handling of the `--premium=safety` option. MISRA C checking has been enhanced for multiple rules, and two missing checkers for MISRA C++ 2008 have been implemented. The update, based on Cppcheck 2.13.3, also significantly speeds up MISRA C checking.
