In an effort to make things easier for devs and end users, the plugin loading logic will now find .cplz files that are in the `Global.FilePathPrefix` base folder (/user/program{programNumber}/` on an appliance, `/user/` on a server). The same applies for IR files. This should make it so that individual plugin cplzs can be loaded via the VC-4 web interface.
The TielineConfig had no property for the `type` property from an Essentials configuration file to be deserialized into. This has been corrected so that the `type` property in a Tieline JSON configuration is now respected and used to build the tieline.
The `RoutingPortCollection` type appears to not be currently
serializable. If a class that contains this collection is going to be
serialized, the collection should have the `JsonIgnore` attribute added.
If the list is needed, use a conversion object and convert it to a
regular list.
In an effort to make it easier to use the logging mechanism, I added 4 overloaded methods for each level to allow for logging exceptions at any level, not just error.
I also added overloads for each level to the extensions so that an exception can be logged at any level, not just error.
In order to prevent eventual version collision and confusion, and to
allow for deprecation of existing packages, the names of the MC packages
are now reflective of the fact that they are no longer
pluginsbuild(force-patch): change names of MC packages
In order to prevent eventual version collision and confusion, and to
allow for deprecation of existing packages, the names of the MC packages
are now reflective of the fact that they are no longer plugins.
In order to solve some dependency issues that keep cropping up, MC
should be moved back into the Essentials repo and loaded automatically
on startup. This will allow for all plugins that use the MC Messengers
library to use the same version without fear of overwriting a dll due to
loading of plugin libraries.
