I encountered the problem of having a stepper motor running backward instead of staying still when calling runSpeed() after setSpeed(0).

I could fix the problem by adding an additional check in the method step0 at AccelStepper.cpp:215.
Instead of defaulting to backward, checking negative speed fixes it.
Here is the fix:

// 0 pin step function (ie for functional usage)
void AccelStepper::step0()
{
  if (_speed > 0) {
    _forward();
  } else if (_speed < 0) {
    _backward();
  }
}

I was wondering if there is any plans to bring in all of the changes that have happened in AccelStepper since this was originally forked at v1.3? There's been 43 versions since, so it's trailing behind quite a bit. I am considering giving it a try myself, but it would take me considerably more time than somebody already familiar with the library.
