79e0fd594b Added step pulse delay after direction set (Compile-time option only). Updated read me.
Added a compile-time only experimental feature that creates a
user-specified time delay between a step pulse and a direction pin set
(in config.h). This is for users with hardware-specific issues
(opto-couplers) that need more than a few microseconds between events,
which can lead to slowly progressing step drift after many many
direction changes. We suggest to try the hack/fix posted in the Wiki
before using this, as this experimental feature may cause Grbl to take
a performance hit at high step rates and about complex curves.

567fbf93ed G54 work coordinate support (w/ G10,G92.1). Re-factored g-code parser with error checking. Minor compiler compatibility changes.
- G54 work coordinate system support. Up to 6 work coordinate systems
(G54-G59) available as a compile-time option.

- G10 command added to set work coordinate offsets from machine
position.

- G92/G92.1 position offsets and cancellation support. Properly follows
NIST standard rules with other systems.

- G53 absolute override now works correctly with new coordinate systems.

- Revamped g-code parser with robust error checking. Providing user
feedback with bad commands. Follows NIST standards.

- Planner module slightly changed to only expected position movements
in terms of machine coordinates only. This was to simplify coordinate
system handling, which is done solely by the g-code parser.

- Upon grbl system abort, machine position and work positions are
retained, while G92 offsets are reset per NIST standards.

- Compiler compatibility update for _delay_us().

- Updated README.

b51e902530 Program stop support (M0,M1*,M2,M30*), proper position retainment upon reset, misc minor updates.
- Program stop support (M0,M1*,M2,M30*). *Optional stop to be done.
*Pallet shuttle not supported.

- Work position is set equal to machine position upon reset, as
according to NIST RS274-NGC guidelines. G92 is disabled.

- Renamed mc_set_current_position() to mc_set_coordinate_offset().

- Fixed bug in plan_synchronize(). Would exit right before last step is
finished and caused issues with program stops. Now fixed.

- Spindle now stops upon a run-time abort command.

- Updated readme and misc upkeeping.

03e2ca7cd5 Initial v0.8 ALPHA commit. Features multi-tasking run-time command execution (feed hold, cycle start, reset, status query). Extensive re-structuring of code for future features.
- ALPHA status. - Multitasking ability with run-time command executions
for real-time control and feedback. - Decelerating feed hold and resume
during operation. - System abort/reset, which immediately kills all
movement and re-initializes grbl. - Re-structured grbl to easily allow
for new features: Status reporting, jogging, backlash compensation. (To
be completed in the following releases.) - Resized TX/RX serial buffers
(32/128 bytes) - Increased planner buffer size to 20 blocks. - Updated
documentation.
