- Improvements to the installation experience of the package

- Improved handling of the case where the add-in is superseded by the package (we remove the old menu items)
- Error reporting experience is more fine-tuned. Users have options to be notified of work-arounds and fixes
- Hide menu items such as "enable debugging", instead of just disabling them
- Make "enable debugging" work on all items of the tree, rather than just the top level assembly item
- "Go to decompiled definition" more commonly enabled.
- Setting a break point causes the necessary PDB file to be automatically generated
- Decompiled code can now be stepped-into like any other code
- Attempting to step into inaccessible code triggers instructions on how to debug it correctly
- Multiple PDBs can now be generated in parallel
- PDB generation can currently take a little time, especially if you're generating several or the assemblies are particularly large
- The trial dialog screen has been updated to be more informative and clear
- Re-introduced "Go to Decompiled Definition" right-click menu item

- Added a new 'Reflector Object Browser'(ROB) into Visual Studio (will eventually offer decompilation by type inside VS)
