Beta Release for 0.9.8.4

Small updates from 0.9.8.3 to fix an issue with aux pin assignments for probing as well as an update to the W5500 driver to improve performance when no SD card is inserted.

Beta Release for 0.9.8.3

Includes revisions to the probing plugin that changes to an edge detection while in motion. Note that motion protection is DISABLED by default and must now be enabled by setting the appropriate configuration flag.

Beta Release for Ethernet and SD card support. Includes updates to probing plugin and HY spindle support to fix issues identified during testing. Thanks to everyone that took the time to try out the new features.

This release includes the latest updates to GRBLHAL to support macro calls, subroutines, conditional gcode exectution and looping. As well it has the new W5500 Ethernet driver and the SD card interface enabled to support the eFlexiNET ethernet module for FlexiHAL.

Builds with PRB (as well as PrintNC builds) in the title also have the Probe Protection plugin enabled:
https://github.com/Expatria-Technologies/grblhal_probe_plugin

Builds with EMB in the title have the embroidery plugin from TerjIO enabled:
https://github.com/grblHAL/Plugin_embroidery/

The PRINTNC builds have the probe plugin SAFETY_DOOR and RGB functionality enabled. Please not that the RGB plugin has been updated so that the claimed pins count up from the first available, previously they counted down from the last and this does not work well with the updates to the FlexiHAL map to enable additional aux pins as they are available. Use the $pins MDI command to see which pins have been claimed. You can check exactly how the builds are configured in platformio.ini.

Also note that the exact firmware version and build can now be read from the console:

These builds have the ESTOP signal enabled (it is connected to the HALT input). You MUST invert this signal to match the RESET signal in the $14 control signal settings. After ESTOP is asserted you must reset and unlock the machine to continue. $484 is now available that allows you to change this behaviour.

Flexi-HAL Prebuilt Firmware 0.9.3

Unchanged from 0.9.2 except that the PI UART is disabled by default to improve EMI resistance when the header is unused.

Flexi-HAL Prebuilt Firmware 0.9.2

Updated to latest core version:
https://github.com/Expatria-Technologies/core/blob/b627c9b2e3c7d1f3284e91d78da3ff457c53090d/changelog.md

Fixed keypad issue with unlock function on Jog2k. FN-START to unlock from error or alarm state.
Fixed keypad issue 2.
Added G4P0 defaults to macros to address Keypad issue 3.

Flexi-HAL Prebuilt Firmware 0.9.1

Build optimized for Flexi-HAL controller. Includes RGB and Interactive_Jog plugins. Three different axis configurations are provided.
