2.8.1-pre

Breaking Changes

To address #41 there has been a significant change in how Squirrel deals with dotnet runtime installing. Rather than having hard-coded versions such as net5 or net6 for the --framework argument, we now accept net{ver}-{arch} where {ver} can be any valid version from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet. We also allow more specificity, for example, net6.0.2-x64 would ensure that 6.0.2 or higher is installed. I have also added a bunch of warnings which will try to detect if you are using the wrong framework version and give hints about what might be better. See the linked issue for more info.

If you are already using a compatible string (eg. net6) with your --framework argument you will not need to change anything, as this will get resolved automatically to net6.0.0-x64. If you are using something like netcoreapp31 you will now need to update your command line to use netcoreapp3.1.
