Sharpmake 0.17.0

Important notes

The way file extensions are handle have changed in this version!
Sharpmake's previous behavior was that extensions could be given without a leading dot, for instance exe or dll, and sharpmake added it itself.
This created some issues when we wanted an empty extension, for instance on linux.

Sharpmake now expects you to write the full extension, so for instance .exe or .dll.
To make that obvious, all the extensions variables have been renamed to be prefixed by "Full", or made Obsolete.

Example, if before you were using StaticLibraryFileExtension, you now need to use StaticLibraryFileFullExtension.

Sharpmake 0.15.0

Important notes

• This release of sharpmake is one of the most important we've ever done since
  we switched to roslyn to allow support for recent C# versions (up to version 7) in your sharpmake files!

• Support for double quotes when invoking sharpmake will be dropped soon, so please replace them with single quotes as soon as possible.

  For example:

    Sharpmake.Application.exe /sources("main.sharpmake.cs")
  

  needs to be changed to

    Sharpmake.Application.exe /sources('main.sharpmake.cs')
