4.29 -> 4.30 Change Log

(Cortex) Added new sample programs for RVW VEX Cortex using the Natural Language 2.0 commands.

(IQ) Fixed incorrect samples for VEX IQ in Virtual Worlds (both Text and Graphical)

(EV3) LEGO NXT Sensors that are normally auto-ID’d no longer have their autoID flag disabled for that port.
(EV3) Fixed an issue with the EV3 remote screen may have caused a ROBOTC crash.

(ALL) Rebuilt firmware to version 10.30. All platforms will require a firmware update. On the EV3 you won’t have to upgrade the Linux Kernel, just the firmware will do.
(ALL) Prevent Graphical files from asking to save if the “Save On Compile” flag is set to false.
(ALL) Update all standard models to have correct drive train setting.
(ALL) Fixed an issue where a “sprintf’ varArg list contains a string constant the compiler was generating incorrect code causing a firmware crash.

(ALL) Fixed issues where the first time the Debugger “Local Variables” window is painted with values (rather than blank) the address field displays “0xCDCDCDCD” rather than the offset.(ALL) Graphical Interface now support “multiple selection” using Shift/Control keyboard modifiers (drag select coming soon!)
