Version 0.6.0

The primary purpouse of this release it to have a more up to date release. 0.5.0 did not work with many newer features in the develop/master versions and to download the latest release version should result in a better experience.

I would also like to announce that I do not intend to work much more on this codebase. I've been primarily been spending my effort on a rewrite to Rust that I started some time ago that I now feel is starting to become a somewhat viable alternative. It still lacks many features but it is catching up relatvely quickly. The rewrite can be found here:

Some users have reported that the game does not start after updating. Installing the latest MSVC runtime from https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe appears to fix this.
