gSender 1.5.0 - Release Thread

Upgraded to the latest version having been on 1.4.12 for a while now and without issues. However 1.5.0 does not seem to work properly for my machine:

Firstly - when connected the COM shows as ‘grblHAL’ which I assume is incorrect and should be ‘GRBL’ (as I am using a Root ISO v3 controller running FluidNC 3.9.7). Although everything still connects OK, I suspect this may be a reason for some of the below issues.

Secondly - when running job it will pause at seemingly random points and gSender displays the yellow ‘HOLD’ banner, and I note that the console reads ‘[Freehold]’. It is possible to continue past these though by clicking on the little padlock next to the HOLD banner.

But Thirdly and crucially - the job eventually errors and enters the grey ‘IDLE’ mode. Only thing I can do at this point is cancel the job.

Tested on jobs that run perfectly fine on 1.4.12, so assume this is a problem that has been introduced with 1.5.0

Screen shots added to demonstrate the issues & help with problem solving. Also posted as an Issue on Github
