v2.0.0.1-pre

• Dropped support for Visual Studio 2017; was getting to be too much to keep the tool viable for that Visual Studio version.
• It's now possible to have multiple diagrams for the same model, each showing a different view and synchronized as the model changes. Perfect for helping to understand large models.
• Added ability to specify foreign key properties (See #55)
• Foreign key properties have a unique glyph so they can be easily picked out of the crowd
• Foreign key properties that are primary keys also have a unique but different glyph
• Completely restructured assembly parsers; they now cleanly handle all combinations of EF6/EFCore2/EFCore3 and .NETCore2/.NETCore3/.NETFramework
• Modified assembly parsers to find declared foreign keys and add them to the model appropriately
• Added options dialog (Tools/Options/Entity Framework Visual Editor)
• Added use of GraphViz for model layout (if installed and path is added to "Tools/Options/Entity Framework Visual Editor")
• Added switch to disable generation of classes and enumerations for those cases where they are coming from different assemblies but need to be in the model to avoid errors.
• Added visual indicator on classes and enumerations where code generation is disabled
• Added ability to override the base class of the generated DbContext to be something other than "DbContext"
• Join tables in many-to-many associations can now have custom names (EF6 only, until EFCore supports many-to-many cardinalities)
• Removing an enumeration removes all entity properties that use that enumeration, after displaying a warning.
• Designer has optional visual grid with color, size and snap-to-grid options available
• Renamed toolbox category to "EF Model Diagrams"
• Enhanced display of model elements in the Visual Studio property window's object list
• Removed MSAGL layouts. No one understood them anyway.
• Removed tool automatically installing NuGet packages. Too volatile.
• Fix: OutputDirectory lost on reload (See #144)
• Fix: Unidirectional Many-to-One Association missing Required (See #145)
• Fix: Couldn't delete property initial value for Enum values (See #148)
• Fix: Support for Empty / blank "File Name Marker" (See #149)
• Fix: Now escaping XML comment text properly
• Fix: Issue with GeographyPoint: System.Data.Entities.Spatial not found for .Net Core 3.1 (See #159)
• Fix: HasDefaultSchema doesn't work with MySql (See #160)
