ZeDMD 3.2.x

[mk47]

I spent a lot of time on the ZeDMD code and on its integration in DMDext. The entire communication, the memory management and the rendering/scaling has been improved. That will result in faster and smoother animations.
3.2.0 is not released yet and we still have some small issues to solve with some modes. I'll post an update here when the 3.2.0 release is available. But I can already share some videos to demonstrate the current state and new features of ZeDMD and ZeDMD HD.

ZeDMD v3.2.1 has been released:
https://github.com/PPUC/ZeDMD/releases/tag/v3.2.1

To leverage it's full power and to enjoy it's improved rendering you also have to update DMD Extension to v2.1.2:
https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/releases/tag/v2.1.2

Be aware of that configuration change:
[ZeDMD] in DmdDevice.ini is now called [zedmd].

Everyone who owns a ZeDMD should really update with the latest firmware/dmdext linked above, you won't recognize your ZeDMD!
