0.2.1

• Add new makeDirectory setting (global and per configuration level) as an extra location to search for the makefile and to generate "make -C".
• Fix the clean re-build for a project that has a default (empty "") build target.
• Various bug fixes regarding:
  • launch-targets/launch-configurations
  • quoting of files/arguments sent to shell when running executables or scripts
• Force English when running executables or scripts that need to parse English words from the execution output.
• Show the output channel only when something errors.
• Support compilers run through ccache.
• Use "shell" arguments convention when parsing compilerArgs for CppTools.
• Don't append the ".exe" extension suffix if the binary file already has an extension in the given path.

This is the first version published to the VS Code Marketplace. It adds additional documentation and one small bug fix over version 0.1.4. We will continue to publish releases here in this repository, but we expect you to be able to get updates automatically through the VS Code Marketplace from now on.

Happy Coding!
