Modernising tooling
The focus of this release has been on development and runtime environments. Not so much for the feature-hungry. We have removed a dependency on .NET 3.5 though, so people running on Windows Server 2016 should appreciate not having to go through great deals of trouble to install that.
We have a small potential breaking change for Oracle users. The target framework, has, by popular demand (PR #85), been converted from x86 to AnyCPU. There were some comments that this might break the Oracle integration. If this is an issue, we would very much like help with fixing it. There is an open PR (#298) that converts to the Managed Oracle provider. But we need some help.
Workaround if this breaks stuff for you: Use Roundhouse 0.8.8.
Enhancements
- Remove dependency on .NET 3.5 #285 @erikbra

For developers
- Convert to modern, simpler SDK-style projects #285 @erikbra

(the rest of the PRs were mainly breaking and fixing things, and preparing for building on AppVeyor)
As always, contributions are welcome. People use RoundhousE in different environments, and it's always easier to identify problems in an environment you use on a regular basis. Read through the issue list, see if you can provide any more info or help solve the problem, find new issues.
Note from @erikbra, fairly new to both OSS and RoundhousE contributing: I would advise you to file a PR if you have an idea for improvement of any sorts. @BiggerNoise (who has done a tremendous job on merging old PRs in the last two releases) and @ferventcoder are really nice people and appreciate efforts!
A huge shout out to @erikbra from myself (@BiggerNoise) and @ferventcoder for helping us get so much of the new build infrastructure in place. Words cannot express how much your efforts are appreciated.
