             Fix lost character on Espruino Startup (fix #704)
             Fix duplicated characters when USB+USART IRQs fire at the same time  (fix #635)
             Fixed Serial.find(...)
+            Detect UART framing and parity errors and emit them as events on the Serial object
 
      1v82 : Fix debugger regression (where quit/reset/etc don't exit properly)
             Fix wakeup when setDeepSleep used at startup (fix #645)
