Fixed these releases

• Fixed incorrect negative sign in Cursor Delta display in the status bar
• Added a 'border: true|false' option to the Editor remote pane TextComponent
• Added a text component to the Information section in the Playtest dialog
• Created a "blockPalette" service in the Extension Context that contains "getSelectedBlockType" and "setSelectedBlockType". This will be used to store the block type that is going to be painted to the world. The Selection, Cube Brush, and Line tools have been updated to use this service!
• Added a stateful menu to toggle Overworld weather in World Options.
• Added support for addImage to property pane
• Added icon property to IPropertyItemOptionsButton API to display icons in buttons
• Added the concept of WidgetManager and CustomWidget - allowing the server to instantiate in-world widgets which should facilitate manipulation of world tools. We currently only support CustomWidgets (which are server driven Custom Entities)
• Adjusted default editor UI scale to optimize screen space
• Added a “Reload” button that allows for reloading of the UI when an Ore UI error occurs
• Line tool bar icon updated to correct design icon
