GOLAEM 6.2 (2017/10/27)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
From this release, Golaem Navigation relies on Golaem Sensors. Thus, all previous scenes using the Navigation Behavior will produce a slightly different result due to an improved perception system

New Geometry Tag mechanism to switch the Geometry Files used in the different steps of the pipeline (simulation cache replay, render and bake)
Introduction of the Golaem Attributes as replacement for the PPAttributes
New Golaem Attribute Spreadsheet Tool to monitor and edit Golaem Attributes
