• ~Inspect NativeTunnel and document/fix it~
• ~Prototype u3webview on Mac~ DONE
• Prototype u3webview on Linux
• ~Delete dead code in Common~ DONE
• ~Get rid of AcrylicConversionHelper~ DONE
• ~Eliminate PerformanceTimer references. This hasn't really been an issue and it'll slow down refactoring.~ DONE
• ~Move the IconSetGenerator to Platform and then do inline image manipulations for the default project generator code's icon.~ DONE
• ~Remove the ExtensionService~ DONE
• ~Move Wax into its own assembly~ DONE
• Write up documentation of libraries ~and built-in primitives~DONE
• Fix touch in Nori/Android
• Fix iOS export
• ~Rename Parser csproj into Compiler and nest all the classes into a Compiler.Parser namespace~ DONE
• ~move Build and AssemblyResolver into Compiler project~ DONE
• ~move Common.Localization into Compiler~ DONE
• ~move AssemblyDependencyUtil and related files into Compiler~ DONE
• ~eliminate Common - delete things, move them inline, move them to Wax/CommonUtil~ DONE
• ~move CommonUtil into Wax~ DONE
• ~Compiler project should take in a project path and compile options and then return some sort of cbx resource handle~ DONE
• ~Create branch runtime-service:~ DONE
  • ~create a CrayonRuntime project and DLL~ DONE
  • ~C# export just copies CrayonRuntime.dll and Wax.dll along with cbx data~ DONE
  • ~should still call u3window via ProcessUtil~ DONE
  • ~update pastel stuff to automatically merge code into CrayonRuntime project~ DONE
• pare down CommonUtil and CrayonRuntime support files
• ~Create branch u3-inline:~ DONE
  • ~separate Crayon.sln into Crayon.sln and CrayonWindows.sln with separate .csproj's as necessary to target WPF-friendly windows-only project types~ DONE
  • ~Implement u3wpf project~ DONE
  • ~Add separate communication channel to U3Direct library alongside existing IPC~ DONE
  • Should still calls Electron-based u3window on other platforms
  • DLL is copied to exported C# projects on Windows
• ~Create branch u3webview:~
  • ~create a u3mac assembly that interfaces with webview.h~
  • ~entirely eliminate IPC usage from U3Direct~ DONE
• ~Create branch command-router:~ DONE
  • ~create the command router project and make calls to CrayonRuntime directly~ DONE
• ~Create extensible cbx services~ DONE
• Create branch exporters:
  • convert all the exporters into extensible cbx services
  • Create a repo organization for exporters
  • Add build command to point to exporter repo
  • ~delete the C# exporters~ DONE
• Create branch linux:
  • vanilla Crayon running on linux
  • implement u3 webview on linux (similar to or shared with mac implementation)
  • Linux project exporter
• ~-target command line flag should only be a way to select arbitrary build properties, and also be able to inherit from other targets. Export should not necessarily be tied to that.~ DONE

Other items:

• Swap the resource manifest column order (column 2 and 3)
• re-alphabetize core func ID's
• Make sure all demos work correctly
• Add version number to CBX
• beef up core language documentation
• Individual library documentation (get rid of XML version and just write it directly in markdown)
• multiple argument support for print
• convert libraries to use the Suspension library instead of while (running) sleep(0.001)
• ~get rid of CRAYON_HOME environment variable in favor of using the assembly location.~ DONE
• Use a JsonBasedObject for the Runtime service startup args

A large number of the refactoring and code cleanup tasks were done today.
