FaceTrackNoIR (v. 1.0.1).

The following upgrades have been applied:

	‘=’ is center view 

	‘BACKSPACE’ = start (+center)/stop tracking. A messagebeep is generated when tracking is resumed and the
		      headpose-data is valid again (faceAPI has 'locked on'... 
	
	Checkbox ‘use EWMA filter’: Ticking this checkbox will make FaceTrackNoIR filter the raw data with
	a so-called 'Exponentially Weighed Moving Average'. This technique was adopted from FlightGear, where
	Melchior Franz had 'invented' it. If the filter is active, the factor for each of the 6 DOF's are used.
	These factor determine the weight that is given to previous measurements and goes from 0 - 1 (in the GUI
	this setting is 0 - 100).

	Some timing-issues with the faceAPI were resolved, so now the scanning-frequency can be higher that 20Hz.
	We do not know yet, how this influences performance of both FaceTrackNoIR and your CPU.
