Most 0.6.0 features working

LEDs now turn on instantly after boot
Support Hardware ESP32 RMT NeopixelBus library
Added setting to force old LED boot behavior (init after WiFi)
Fixed overlay switching bug
Fixed ? characters in usused macros
Added transitionDelay to notifier packet

 WLED is a fast and (relatively) secure implementation of an ESP8266 webserver to control NeoPixel (WS2812B) LEDs!
 Now also with experimental ESP32 support.
 
-### Features: (V0.5.0)
+### Features: (V0.6.0)
 - RGB, HSB, and brightness sliders
 - Settings page - configuration over network
 - Access Point and station mode - automatic failsafe AP
 - WS2812FX library integrated for over 50 special effects!
 - Secondary color support lets you use even more effect combinations
+- Alexa smart home device server (including dimming)
+- Beta syncronization to Philips hue lights
 - Support for RGBW strips
 - 25 user presets! Save your favorite colors and effects and apply them easily!
+- HTTP request API for simple integration
+- Macro functions to automatically execute API calls
 - Nightlight function (gradually dims down)
 - Notifier function (multiple ESPs sync color via UDP broadcast)
 - Support for power pushbutton
 - Custom Theater Chase
 - Full OTA software update capability (HTTP and ArduinoOTA)
 - Password protected OTA page for added security (OTA lock)
-- Alexa smart home device server (including dimming)
-- NTP and experimental analog clock function
+- NTP and configurable analog clock function
 - Support for the Cronixie Clock kit by Diamex
 - Realtime UDP Packet Control (WARLS) possible
 - Client HTML UI controlled, customizable themes
