Changes

v0.12.10

* FIXED: Fixed bug - `BAT files no longer dumps to VS Output window "vsSolutionBuildEvent"` Bug #34
* FIXED: Possible deadlock from any output messages. Related Issue #35 - 'targets mode issue'
* FIXED: Fixed problem with white-space chars in Files & Interpreter Mode.
         Message: `'...' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.`

* FIXED: Added messages about errors for actions in another thread when this failed.
* NEW: SBE-Scripts. [MSBuildComponent] Added multiline support for MSBuild expressions:
        ```
        #[$(
            [System.Math]::Exp('$(
                [MSBuild]::Multiply(
                    $([System.Math]::Log(10)),
                    4
                ))'
            )
        )]
        ```
        See the documentation.

* NEW: SBE-Scripts. Implemented `boolean run([enum context])` To Execute Action with specific context. [InternalComponent]
       Now you can easy call any actions from other actions.
        ```
        #[Core events.Pre.item("SpecBuild").run()]
        #[Core events.Post.item(5).run(Build)]
        ```

* NEW: Implemented - "The revision of modulo" (Wizard)
* NEW: Added special types for `Execution order` - First / Last Project & Type
       For convenient work with deferred Pre-Build event /Related question - #37

* CHANGED: C# Mode: Error/Warn messages also for result of this action by compiler settings - `Warnings & Errors` - `TreatWarningsAsErrors`
* CHANGED: Updated time format for main Log-messages: without date + added ten thousandths of a second (.0000 - .9999)

* FIXED: UI. Fixed problem when projects are not available in 'Execution order' list after loading solution.
* CHANGED: MSBuild core. Native expressions now uses InvariantCulture by default. For other culture use CultureInfo, for example:
          ```
          $([System.DateTime]::Parse("08/21/2016", '$([System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::GetCultureInfo("en-US"))').ToBinary())
          ```
          See documentation for details.

* CHANGED: Updated links to new public bug tracker, etc.
