Engine5.10 released

Engine5.10

An Important update, to counter a series of game breaking issues caused be changing engine state during the middle of sprite updates and collision processing. You will need to update your engine to 5.10 and also if you change game mode in any sprite update, collision handler you will need to call engineM.CancelAllUpdateLogic(), to ensure that processing is halted. You also need to add engineM.CancelAllUpdateLogic() as the first line in FlushAllItems();

Bugs fixed in this release
