Updates to Marlin software for simple

[dmaxx67]

I bought a late 2013 Simple kit form Printrbot. Is there any updates to their Marlin software or is the only changed Marlin the experimental builds?

Fairly certain that it would have either Unified v2 or v3 on there, and the only difference between those two is a minor update to the M115 output, no functional changes.

Hey. What does M115 do, PxT?
