New features:

• Add (almost) complete support for 64-Bit Octave-4.0.1 on MS-Windows. (Datapixx does not work yet.)
• Add good support for Griffin PowerMate USB on Linux, limited/deficient support for Windows and OSX.
• DrawFormatttedText: Add new horizontal alignment option ‘centerblock’. Always use ‘yPositionIsBaseline’ for vertical text positioning for consistency.
• New demo TurnTableDemo to show off PsychPowerMate() function and some PsychPortAudio live stream updates on Linux. Works not so great with PowerMate on OSX.
• PR670 photometer code robustness improvements by David Brainard.
• Maintenance work and small fixes and improvements here and there.
