   * Major changes compared to the previous version:
 
-    - Provide a new programmer -c urclock that specialises in supporting
-      bootloaders and which is compatible with `-c arduino` in
-      the sense that it can also deal with arduino bootloaders
+    - Provide a new programmer -c urclock for bootloader urprotocol
       + Urclock fully supports vector bootloaders at no extra code size
       + Uprotocol

-        allows programming much shorter bootloaders with more
-        features, eg, urboot
-         * Exports a pgm_write_page(sram, progmem) function that
-           one can call at FLASHEND-4+1 to use flash for storage
