Version 0.6.18

Added

• Added new scan mode "Spectra" for a series of 1D spectra based on Beam scan
• Added new UI tool MultiStateAction
• Added dedicated channelPlot to display channel data instead of using Line plugin
• Added msSpectra mode for simple mass spectra
• Added PluginManager.testing flag to avoid interaction of parallel testing thread with UI diolog boxes leading to rare crash during testing

Changed
