Evaluation edition

The Evaluation edition support normal update for all screens, and fast update for monochrome screens. It includes the fixed Mono font and the proportional Serif and Sans Serif fonts; application libraries like graphics, GUI and bar- and QR-code. It comes as pre-compiled libraries for evaluation only and non-commercial usage.
