Important developer infos by Andrew Shpagin

This is the first build that is compiled with Visual Studio 2013, it should be stable enough and may even be faster, but need to be handled carefully.

In comparison to 4.5.03 this version contains many important fixes, so if all is OK this build has the chance to be the next stable point. To be shure we need your testing.

Also, I started to refactoring the code to make it better organised, documented and more readable. Possibly 3D-Coat will become a half-open source app (but I may not guarantee).

In the next month no new features will be introduced and no important fixes expected if this buld will became stable. I need the time to perform a good refactoring version. Othervice we will not be able to develop still in 3-4 years because of code complexity and disorganisation. So this stage is very important for the future of 3D-Coat. The code refactoring will not bring something new to you but it will allow us to fix upcoming problems easier, develop faster and extend the programmers team.

Thank you.
