Version 1.19.18
MicroPython Magic Memory
Okay so 1.19.17 was a bit of a memory corruption disaster. It turned out that - despite our best efforts - our C++ code was still assuming it had heap RAM it could use at its leisure. This was... sort-of... the case, except MicroPython's heap overlapped this same memory with disastrous and unpredictable results.
This is a re-issue of sorts, fixing the critical flaws in 1.19.17 but not introducing much else.
This change fixes some init heap usage in LTR559, LTP-305 (Dot Matrix display breakout) - removing almost 10k of memory usage - and PicoGraphics and introduces a new module cppmem which quietly redirects C++ heap allocations over to the MicroPython heap.
