Editor v3.7.0

Important note to Blender users:

If you previously installed the nxt_blender addon please remove it from your addons folder. This only applies if you installed version 0.1.0 of the blender addon.

• If you used the install script also delete the nxt folder from your user addons/modules folder.
• If you used pip to install nxt into Blender's python please run the following pip uninstall nxt-editor nxt-core.

Once you've uninstall the old version follow the README instructions in the nxt_blender.zip.

Additions:

+ Initial setup for nxt_unreal plugin.
+ One click Blender context.
+ Support for contexts that aren't strictly Python interpreters.
+ Code editor now displays a "Double Click To Edit" message. Fixes #133
+ Added collapse/un-collapse animations.
+ Node LODs
+ Added user prefs for fps, lod, and animation all on by default. In your user prefs you can toggle these using the keys previously stated; for lod it must be an int or float value, 0 to disable, default is 0.4. Must restart editor for changes to these prefs to take effect.

Changes:

* Centralized blender integration functions into a single class that can be called without the addon being loaded.
* launch_editor now has a kwarg to NOT call app.exec_(), needed for host DCCs that aren't themselves a QApp.
* Bug fix: When changing focus to and from NXT it was possible to get into a state where zooming became impossible.
* Hookup closing signals and update both packages
* Bug fix: Fixed bug that caused the invalid runtime node dialog to spawn every time a snippet was run. Fixes #155
* Bug fix: When a workflow button executed its descendants, nodes under a disabled descendant would still execute. This was considered unexpected as it did not follow the "normal" execute order rules.
* fix unreal plugin build paths
* Bug fix: Code editor wasn't displaying the data state in the top right like it used to.
* Bug fix: QSignal traffic jams could cause the workflow tools to throw exceptions.
* Bug fix: Clearing breakpoints would emit node's changed twice.
* Improved visibility of collapse arrows.
* Bug fix: Collapsed nodes from the same layer as ancestor parent wouldn't generate a collapse arrow.
* Bug fix: Sometimes an exception about non-iterable object types would be raised When updating the workflow tools window.
* Bug fix: Corrected folder paths for Blender.
* Blender's Update NXT button (not the update dependencies button) will now update the addon file as well as the backend.
* Minor drawing optimizations
* Update make maya plugin graph to run correctly in python 2 or 3

Removals:

- Removed Blender installer script as its functionality has been moved to the nxt_blender.py addon.

Notes:

... Switched to using subprocess as the pip approach.
... FPS counter added to the bottom left of the stage view. (Low numbers aren't bad if you're idle)
