Screen shot of spriteStretch demo, showing stretched sprite with extended texture mapping (UV coordinates).

The fixes include a weird bug that could cause a sprite to appear (at gigantic scale) behind all the other displays, and a frequent warning logged to the console in web builds. The way sounds work on web builds was revamped too, which should fix a problem of sounds (especially background music) sometimes failing to play there. As for the new feature, be sure to check out /sys/demo/spriteStretch, which now demonstrates stretching of the sprite and changing the texture coordinates.
