v2.1

• RISC-V supported (Thanks to Lucas Elvira Martín @luck5941)
• CREATOR accessibility improved up to WCAG 2.0 (Level AAA)
• Command line version of CREATOR:
  • Help:
    • ./creator.sh -h
  • Example: creator compiles and executes the example2.txt, showing the final state:
    • ./creator.sh -a architecture/MIPS-32.json -s examples/MIPS/example2.txt
  • Example: save final state into 'salida.txt' file:
    • ./creator.sh -a ./architecture/MIPS-32.json -s ./examples/MIPS/example2.txt -o min > salida.txt
  • Example: compare final state and the state saved on 'salida.txt' file:
    • ./creator.sh -a ./architecture/MIPS-32.json -s ./examples/MIPS/example2.txt -o min -r salida.txt
• Creator now accepts three GET values:
  • Preload the MIPS architecture:
    • https://creatorsim.github.io/creator/?architecture=MIPS-32
  • Preload example 'e3' from example set 'uc3m-ec':
    • https://creatorsim.github.io/creator/?example_set=uc3m-ec&example=e3
• Bootstrap-vue upgraded up to v2.15.0
