GBX.NET 0.9.0-rc

Full changelog will come on full release.

GBX.NET 0.8.0

• Item.Gbx and Block.Gbx parsing has been expanded
  • Added CGameCommonItemEntityModelEdition
  • Added support for mesh reading (+ ToOBJ method converting the mesh to .obj) through CPlugCrystal
  • CGameItemPlacementParam now reflects map editor placement values
  • New properties for CGameItemModel and CGameBlockItem
  • Added CPlugVehiclePhyModelCustom for custom vehicle item reading
• Data type classes rename
  • LookbackString to Id and Meta to Ident, including renames in GameBoxReader, GameBoxWriter and GameBoxReaderWriter
• Wrongly parsed unskippable chunk now throws an exception
• Added new chunk support:
  • CGameCtnChallenge: 0x050 (offzones), 0x052 (deco height), 0x053 (bot paths), 0x056 (light settings)
  • CGameCtnMediaBlockCameraGame: 0x005
  • CGameCtnMediaBlockBloomHdr: 0x001
• Fixed chunks:
  • CGameCtnMediaBlockCameraPath: 0x003
  • CGameCtnMediaBlockGhost: 0x002
  • CGameCtnReplayRecord: 0x003
• Added TriggerSize property for CGameCtnChallenge 0x049 (MediaTracker).
• Added a new clean way of reading+writing chunks through ref keyword
• Added new methods for GameBoxReader, GameBoxWriter and GameBoxReaderWriter to reduce parse code repetition.
• Added vector magnitude methods
• Added AdditionalMath.Lerp() method
• Prefer km/h over m/s in ghost speed measures
• Support ghost sample reading from CGameGhost 0x003 chunk
• GBX saving can be now controlled with other streams other than MemoryStream
  • However there might be actions involving seeking, so check that your stream supports seeking!

This update also reveals a road to the x64 platform library support. A new check has been added for GameBox.Save() to throw an exception if the library is running in x64 (as the bug is with the LZO compressing). In this version though, the library is still x86 only. x64 platform support for reading-only is planned for 0.9.0.
