- The `x` in `$x=val` would overflow when a value larger than 255 was
entered and passed to Grbl. This resulted with unintended parameters
being set by the overflow value. To fix, simply check for values larger
than 255 and error out.
If variable spindle is defined print S value via $G command.
Alarm if limits engaged on homing start.
and while "no errors" is enabled (G38.3, G38.5)
this allows the PRB report to be valid when in "no errors" mode and the probe fails
- Minor bug fix for variable spindle PWM output. Values smaller than
the minimum RPM for the spindle would overflow the PWM value. Thanks
Rob!

- Created an optional minimum spindle PWM low-mark value as a
compile-time option. This is for special circumstances when the PWM has
to be at a certain level to be read by the spindle controller.

- Refactored the new probing commands (G38.3, G38.4, G38.5) code to
work better with the rest of Grbl’s systems.

- Refactored mc_probe() and mc_arc() to accept the mode of the command,
i.e. clockwise vs counter, toward vs away, etc. This is to make these
functions independent of gcode state variables.

- Removed the pull off motion in the probing cycle. This is not an
official operation and was added for user simplicity, but wrongly did
so. So bye bye.

- Created a configure probe invert mask function to handle the
different probe pin setting and probing cycle modes with a single mask.

 - Minor bug fix with reporting motion modes via $G. G38.2 wasn’t
showing up. It now does, along with the other new probing commands.

- Refactored some of the new pin configurations for the future of Grbl.

- Rudimentary CoreXY kinematics support. Didn’t test, but homing and
feed holds should work. See config.h. Please report successes and
issues as we find bugs.

- G40 (disable cutter comp) is now “supported”. Meaning that Grbl will
no longer issue an error when typically sent in g-code program header.

- Refactored coolant and spindle state setting into separate functions
for future features.

- Configuration option for fixing homing behavior when there are two
limit switches on the same axis sharing an input pin.

- Created a new “grbl.h” that will eventually be used as the main
include file for Grbl. Also will help simply uploading through the
Arduino IDE

- Separated out the alarms execution flags from the realtime (used be
called runtime) execution flag variable. Now reports exactly what
caused the alarm. Expandable for new alarms later on.

- Refactored the homing cycle to support CoreXY.

- Applied @EliteEng updates to Mega2560 support. Some pins were
reconfigured.

- Created a central step to position and vice versa function. Needed
for non-traditional cartesian machines. Should make it easier later.

- Removed the new CPU map for the Uno. No longer going to used. There
will be only one configuration to keep things uniform.
- All pins, which include limits, control command, and probe pins, can
now all be configured to trigger as active-low or active-high and
whether the pin has its internal pull-up resistor enabled. This should
allow for just about all types of NO and NC switch configurations.

- The probe pin invert setting hasn’t been added to the Grbl settings,
like the others, and will have to wait until v1.0. But for now, it’s
available as a compile-time option in config.h.

- Fixed a variable spindle bug.

- New restore setting defaults command. Only wipes ‘$$’ setting in
EEPROM and reloads them based on the defaults used when Grbl was
compiled. Used with a `$RST` command

NOTE: `$RST` is intentionally not listed in the Grbl ‘$’ help message.
- Tweaked the previous EEPROM restore implementation and added new
functionality.

- `$RST=$` restores the `$$` grbl settings back to firmware defaults,
which are set when compiled.

- `$RST=#` restores the `$#` parameters in EEPROM. At times it’s useful
to clear these and start over, rather than manually writing each entry.

-`$RST=*` wipe all of the data in EEPROM that Grbl uses and restores
them to defaults. This includes `$$` settings, `$#` parameters, `$N`
startup lines, and `$i` build info string.

NOTE: This doesn’t write zeros throughout the EEPROM. It only writes
where Grbl looks for data. For a complete wipe, please use the Arduino
IDE’s EEPROM clear example.

- Refactored the restore and wipe functions in settings.c to
accommodate the new commands.
- `$RST=#` was not wiping the G30 positions from EEPROM. Minor but now
fixed.
- Version bump requested by OEMs to easily determine whether the
firmware supports the new EEPROM reset feature. Other than that, no
significant changes.
- Control pins may be individually inverted through a
CONTROL_INVERT_MASK macro. This mask is define in the cpu_map.h file.
- G38.x was not printing correctly in the $G g-code state reports. Now
fixed.

- Potential bug regarding volatile variables inside a struct. It has
never been a problem in v0.9, but ran into this during v1.0
development. Just to be safe, the fixes are applied here.

- Updated pre-built firmwares with these two bug fixes.
- Planner was under-estimating maximum speeds through straight
junctions in certain cases. The calculations have been updated to be
more accurate.

- Type declaration fix in probe.c.

 - Commit log for v0.9j generated separately from v0.9i’s.

- Incremented version and updated pre-built firmware link.
- Strange sizeof() bug in the most recent releases. Manifested as an
alarm upon a power up even when homing was disabled. Fixed by declaring
sizeof() with struct types, rather than variable names, even though
they were validated to give the same value.

- Spindle speed zero should disable the spindle. Now fixed.

- New configuration option for inverting certain limit pins. Handy for
mixed NO and NC switch machines. See config.h for details.

- Incremented version and pre-build firmware link.
- Soft limit errors were stuck in a feed hold without notifying the
user why it was in a hold. When resumed, the soft limit error would
kick in. Issue should be fixed to behave as intended to automatically
hold and issue a soft limit alarm once the machine has come to a stop.
- When VARIABLE_SPINDLE output is disabled in config.h, the last commit
would keep the spindle enable pin disabled when spindle speed is not
defined (S0). This is now ignored and will enable with S0, as spindle
speed is ignored in this mode.
