Changes in the new version:

General

• New project: CilTools.CommandLine

CilTools.BytecodeAnalysis

• Add support for including bytecode size and source code lines in disassembler output
• Add support for .entrypoint directive
• Add support for generic constraints
• Add support for properties in disassembler
• Add ICustomMethod interface as a base for custom method implementations to replace CustomMethod base class. This means that custom method implementations can now be derived from MethodInfo or ConstructorInfo.
• Improve generics support. Generic context is now passed correctly to generic parameter types is more cases; this enables getting generic parameter names and their declaring methods/types.
• Fix TypeSpec.IsGenericParameter for byrefs
• Fix ldtoken syntax for methods
• Fix string literal escaping in disassembler to use ECMA-335 rules

CilTools.Runtime

• Update custom method implementations to derive from MethodInfo/ConstructorInfo and implement ICustomMethod

CIL View

• Add support for opening C#/VB code and MSBuild projects
• Add Show source support
• Add options to include bytecode size and source code lines (from PDB) in disassembler output
• Add support for opening IL source files
• Add support for .entrypoint directive
• Add Export type to file menu command
• Add support for generic constraints
• Add support for disassembling properties
• Add support for interactive method execution
• Use .NET Core runtime directory when resolving dependencies for .NET Core assemblies
• Use runtime directory of the inspected process instead of current runtime directory for assembly resolution when opening a process
• Load assembly images from memory instead of files when opening a process
• When an assembly contains a single type, automatically navigate to that type
• When the type contains only one non-constructor method and no other members (like fields), automatically navigate to that single method when type is selected
• Change member identifier color to more visible with lower brightness
• Fix ldtoken syntax for methods
• Fix string literal escaping in disassembler to use ECMA-335 rules
