Changes from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1
FIXES
- Fix an issue in V2.0.0 where very intermittent Cyan 'RDM Identify' flash was seen in some setups.

OTHER NOTES
DMX Mapping Change in V1.2.0 - Multizone Modes
Versions before V1.2.0 had the Fan Channel control in the FIRST SLOT, for Multizone Modes. In V1.2.0 (and later versions) this moved to the LAST SLOT.
Make sure to use the correct DMX profiles in your console, or Multizone modes won't work correctly.
