v2.0

This latest release of Glyphfriend includes the following updates to the extension :

• Refactoring for Performance with Protobuf
  • Glyphfriend now uses protobuf-net to serialize all of the 6,000 supported glyphs at build time (instead of run time) and handles loading them in roughly 1/10th of the time.
• Use a CDN? New HTML file? No Problem
  • Glyphfriend previous would use the available CSS files within your current project or solution to determine which libraries to load. If you didn't have these specifically named files, then you wouldn't get intellisense. This new version will give you autocompletion for all of the supported libraries without a single file reference, you don't even need a project (File > New HTML File works just fine).
• Smaller Project, Easier to Contribute
  • Previously to add support for a given library within Glyphfriend, you had to create your own provider, define a regular expression to match your "triggering" files, etc. It wasn't as simple as I'd like it, now, you'll literally just need to create a folder, put your glyphs in, and build. That's it.
• No More Markdown & Emojis
  • Visual Studio and some of the popular Markdown-based extensions have added support for handling Markdown files specifically. While these didn't exist when Glyphfriend was first released, they do now and this functionality is better served by using those.

All of the individual issues within this release can be found here.
