micro:bit button problems on v1.95 (works on v1.94)

With v1.95 on the BBC micro:bit the button watch only fires 1 time.

setWatch(function(e) {
  if (e.state) console.log("Released");
  else console.log("Pressed");
}, BTN1, {repeat:true, debounce:20, edge:"both"});

Reverting back to v1.94 this works as expected on the micro:bit.

This code work OK on Puck.js with v1.95

Thanks - I just fixed this and it should be in the latest 'cutting edge' builds and 1v96

You can fix this in 1v95 with pinMode(BTN1, "input_pulldown") - the polarity of the button reading has now changed so it reads 1 when pressed, 0 when not.

The polarity swap in 1v95.176 is a welcome change. Setting the pinMode worked well in 1v95.

@gfwilliams thanks for fixing this so quickly
