v3.0.1 (2014-11-13)

• initial release of the plugin after 6 months of refactorings of original BlackBerry source-code and development of new features

I am staring the versioning since v3.0. It is because BlackBerry already released v1.0 Gold and v2.0 Gold versions of the Visual Studio Plugin and I don't want to collide with them. Besides, the current state of this plugin is so much more advanced comparing to what BlackBerry published, that it deserves to be a next big number.
