Updated Feature: Deferred Lighting panel

We added a few quality-of-life improvements to the Deferred Lighting panel. Numeric inputs have been replaced with sliders (which now support non-integer values) to more easily configure your settings. We also addressed a bug that would producing visual artifacts within Editor so you should no longer have to change to crosshair mode to accurately view the world lighting.

For more information about Deferred Lighting, check out the learn page.

New Feature: Entity Transactions

We updated the summon tool to use TransactionManager to track the addition and deletion of entities. This means you're now able to use undo/redo to more easily create entity rich environments.

New Feature: Attach Debugger

To make it easier to debug your own Editor Extensions we added a button you can add to your Action Bar which will attempt to connect to the Minecraft script debugger on port 19144.
