minisphere 3.1.2

minisphere 3.1.2 is a backwards-compatible update for minisphere 3.1. This update fixes a deadlock issue when running against Allegro 5.0, which is an issue on Linux, as well as a bug which could have prevented .s2gm-based games from running.

Changes in This Version

• Fixes an issue where sounds were reinitialized whenever a script called
  Sound#play() (including the first time), potentially triggering a deadlock
  bug in Allegro 5.0. This affects Linux only, as Allegro 5.2 is used on
  Windows.
• Fixes a regression in minisphere 3.1.0 which could cause games with an
  otherwise valid .s2gm manifest to fail to start with an Unsupported Engine
  error.
