XTension 9.4.47

[James Sentman]

I did deal with a couple of these, but have not gotten to the dimming issue as I hadn’t noticed that when I was testing for whatever reason the device I was using when developing wasn’t doing it. There was a reason I did the dim as well but I’ll have to review the comments and I’ll get that sorted out shortly.

Where the other errors about finding  6 and then 7 units in the last beta version? Or in the last release? I updated a ton of stuff during the beta cycle including updating the underlying libraries and such. It also changed significantly how the discovery process was implemented. So I’m interested if that is a new problem since the beta or if it was in the last release but not in this one.
