DYLOS
-----
DyLOS can now apply pixel mapping for any fixture parameter between 2 and 3 presets
Added DyLOS generators:

    - Nature: Fire, Steam
Added color palettes to Dylos (First row of 256 pixels in PNG image are used to map - generator output - intensity levels to indexed colors)
Added 2 and 3-preset pixel mapping mode and opacity mapping modes
Dynamic Intensity mapping is now the default
Added white mapping mode to DyLOS to include all emitter channels (e.g., white, amber, lime) in pixel-mapping to better represent unsaturated colors on stage: it also uses color information and relative brightness data of all color emitters to balance emitter brightness, as well as apply color temperature across emitter channels for unsaturated colors
Added feedback to indicate alpha information availability in content
Missing content is now also indicated on the content type (media, text, ...) tabs
Added "intensity + other emitters" mapping mode for fixtures without RGB emitters but with various other emitter types

DyLOS zones slots can now be expanded/collapsed in Fixture Center
DyLOS values are now shown in live output 
Added options menu to zone composer
Weight modes allow for selecting "Zone Intensity" (default, backward compatible, LTP) and the newer "Manual Weight" (which has improved)

Replaced LTP with programmable weight control between direct and pixel mapped programming
