  - Disabled a couple of butter-scenes that were laggy.   
  6.0.8    
  - Chrome update broke utilized functionality, cannot set runtime.Port.name directly anymore,  resulted in extension throwing exception and not being able to pass audiodata to scenes. now fixed by passing name in object to chrome.tabs.connect.
  6.0.6-7
  - Added option `opacity` to SpectrumAnalizyz
  - Made ProceduralTerrain lower poly by default (you can still choose whatever poly resolution you want in scene-settings)
