Release v1.3.2

Changelog:

• Added partial support for the Sonic Origins Plus version of Sonic CD.
  • Like last time, certain features may not be fully implemented or work properly. It's recommended to run this version of the game on the RSDKv5U Decompilation instead.
• The Coins counter now increments by the given amount when the NOTIFY_ADD_COIN engine callback is called.
• Added the colors attribute for Game.xml, allowing for adding custom GameConfig in several different ways.

Starting with this release, release builds and autobuilds will lock the ability to use Knuckles and Amy when playing the Origins Plus version of Sonic CD. If you'd like to enable them, you will need to manually build the decompilation.
