 __Installation (UI5)__
 1. Download and unzip the attached zip file.
+
 2. Upload all of the plugin XML, JSON and LUA files using the ''Apps / Develop Apps / Luup files'' page.  Make sure to click the ''Restart Luup after upload'' checkbox.
+
 3. Wait for the Luup restart to complete.
-4. Once the upload and Luup restart are completed, use the ''Apps / Develop Apps /  Create Device'' page to create a new device for the gateway.  Enter '''D_TCPLightingGateway1.xml''' in the ''Upnp Device Filename'' field and the IP of your gateway in the ''IP'' field. You may need to check the DHCP client table of your home router to find the IP address of the gateway.  Another way of getting the IP address is to open a command window on a PC that is on the same network as the lighting gateway, enter the command '''ping lighting''' and note the IP address that the lighting host name resolves to.

 6. Refresh the Vera UI for good measure.
+
 7. When the gateway device is initialized, it will poll the gateway and create child devices for each bulb.  If a bulb's room name matches that of a Vera room, it will be automatically added to the room.  Note that the device UI for the bulbs is often partially rendered when first created.  A browser refresh normally fixes this.

+__v0.2 Release Notes:__
+* Includes more robust handling of devices and gateways going offline and coming back online. Device numbers should now be retained so that scenes, etc. are not broken.  Polling continues after a failed HTTP request to the gateway.
+* Experimental and partial implementation of gateway SSDP autodiscovery.
+* Gateway device will now get a default name assigned.
+* Bulbs will have manufacturer and model attributes set.
+* Logging is a little less verbose.
