• Added 180/360 degree FOV for equirectangular environment.
  
• Added 180/360 equirectangular options for the dome environment.
  
• Added rotation for both fisheye and equirectangular.
  
• Added tilt options for equirectangular videos in Dome and Equirectangular environments.
  
• Added media rotation options for fisheye in dome environment.
  

Festoon is in it's early stage of release and we very much appreciate feedback from the users to help improve it.
