Version 1.10, October 19, 2016
------------------------------
Bug fixes and support for 3D graphics.

- 3D sprites added. 3D sprites can be rotated and placed in a virtual 
  world. Vectrex32 applies a perspective transform and draws them on
  the screen.
- Add other features and enhance existing features to support 3D.
- BASIC statements continued over many lines could trigger Out of Memory
  errors. Fixed.
- A large number of arrays could cause Out of Memory errors. Fixed.
- There were circumstances where BASIC did not report the line and column
  number of an error. Fixed.
- Drawing immediately after a ReturnToOrigin caused the lines to draw
  incorrectly. Fixed. Thanks to Malban for his assistance in fixing this.
- Changed the Vectrex32 timebase from 1000Hz to 960Hz. This allows more
  frame rates to implemented accurately (e.g. 60 fps, 120 fps).
- There were fatal defects in the firmware upgrade mechanism. Fixed.
- Fatal errors required the Vectrex to be turned off and on in order
  to restart the Vectrex32. We now attempt to reboot the Vectrex32.
- The name "SmartCart" is retired. The product is now just "Vectrex32".
