ILSpy 6.0 Preview 3

An administrative note first: we re-licensed the last part that came from SharpDevelop - the tree view component. It happened more for consistency in the repository than any other reason. You can find the discussions at #1904.

New Language Features

• C# 7.0: Changes to syntactic disambiguation of generic identifiers

UI Improvements

• Add "Open with ILSpy" entry to the Windows Explorer context menu on exe and dll files (via Options/Misc)
• Added a "Debug Metadata Explorer" node for portable PDBs
• Empty metadata tables can now be hidden from the tree view
• "Select PDB" context menu: allows to change the PDB file resolved by ILSpy or pick one from a different location
• Various stability fixes

Enhancements

• ReadyToRun: Fix #1889 Indexing the methods
• ReadyToRun: Avoid eager parsing (#1934 by @cshung)
• Better decompilation of local functions, pinned regions and display-classes
• Solution and project decompilation: Add missing ProjectTypeGuids

PDB generation

• Improved generation of sequence points (#1967 by @jacdavis)
• PDB generation: Use correct sequence points in LINQ expressions and many smallish bug fixes

Bug fixes

• Fix multi-module support
• Disassembler: actually make use of the cancellation token
