LM80C: new firmware release R3.15

Another firmware upgrade, the new R3.15 release introduces a simple yet important feature, the ELSE statement. So, now it is possible to write conditional branches on just 1 single row instead of having to divide them over multiple lines.

Let’s consider the code below:

10 IF A<10 THEN PRINT "TOO LESS":GOTO 30
20 PRINT "THAT'OK"
30 ...more code...

It can now be put on a single line:

10 IF A<10 THEN PRINT "TOO LESS":ELSE PRINT "THAT'S OK"

Apart this, there is also a new text displayed at boot, to inform the user about the firmware release, the copyright notices and the bytes free.

The new firmware can be grabbed from the official LM80C Github repo.
