- 0.108u5: Aaron Giles added new output utilities: output_set_led_value(), output_set_digit_value() and output_set_lamp_value(), which are used to set a generic indexed data type. Changed the Max-A-Flex driver to use output_set_digit_value() for their digits. This fixed the digits in Boulder Dash (Max-A-Flex).
