ORTS MG RD "Ultimate" .NET Core

Open Rails "Ultimate" for .NET Core 3.1

This is the first release including/based on .NET Core 3.1 framework. To simplify upgrade, this current release contains binaries for both, full NET framework 4.8, and .NET Core 3.1 framework. The launcher OpenRails.exe. will check prerequisites for both version, however by default still start the .NET Fx 4.8 version. To enforce running .NET Core version, create an empty file named "prefercorefx" (no filename extension) in the program folder, and the launcher will prefer to start .NET Core version. After some testing periond, later version will automatically prefer .NET Core version, and the .NET Framework version will no longer be maintained.

Aside all earlier changes and improvements, this version leverages a rewritten translation engine (GetText.NET). Not all existing translation may have been merged, so if using internationalized version, there may be some missing translations.
Furthermore, this now includes a new version schema following Semantics Versioning (SemVer).
Based on Monogame 3.8 and contains the rewritten implementation for the P.I. Engineering RailDriver and is about functionally equivalent to OpenRails X1.3.1-220-g98edaea1d. Also many feature updates from OR NewYear MG up to Rev. 70 are included.

The package contains the precompiled/Binary Version, zipped "Program" Folder.
Unzip and run from folder, ensure to have DirectX Runtime installed. OpenAL is no longer needed to be installed separately, but is part of the package now.
