Summary
Submitted by Sparta on 4 May 2020
From the manual:

Sparkle is a trackmo loader solution for the Commodore 64 inspired by Lft’s Spindle and Krill’s loader. It utilizes full on-the-fly GCR processing, fast data transfer, and blockwise data compression. Demos are built using loader scripts, files are bundled together and are loaded sequentially in batches. Loader calls are parameterless. Sparkle handles multi-disk trackmos as well.

New in this release:

- New feature: Sparkle shows a warning if there are multiple active drives on the serial bus. The demo will continue once all devices but one are turned off.
- Removed optional packer selection. Sparkle now uses an updated version of its former “better” packer with an optimized decompression algorithm.
- Updated GCR loop for increased stability. Sparkle now has a disk rotation speed tolerance of at least 284-311 rpm across all four speed zones.
- Loader “parts” are renamed to file bundles to avoid confusion.
- The disk monitor now highlights the [00 F8] file bundle separator sequence.
- Bug fix: the editor did not calculate bundle and disk sizes correctly.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
