TcBlackExtension v0.1.1 alpha

Changes

• Saves POU before formatting (#56)
• Supports Visual Studio 2019 (#63)
• Downgraded Buildtools to .3039 from .3043 since isn't available on nuget anymore
• Removed assembly signing (#69)

Notice

If you installed v0.1.0 before, you first need to manually remove it before installing v0.1.1. This is caused by a wrong version number in the v0.1.0 release.

Uses

• TcBlackCore v0.3.0
