Alpha 3 Release

This release is a feature update on the previous alpha with some pretty big new additions:

• AceVortex now reads skin slots from mod files much more reliably (again, for real this time)
  • Now mods that include multiple skins (especially NPCs) will show all their included skins, not just the first one
  • We also support some of the weirder, older packing formats so even older mods should detect better.
  • If you had mods that weren’t detected previously, use Refresh Skins from the context menu to try again with the new version
• Attributes have been completely retooled
  • The “Skin(s)” attribute is now included in your main mod list!
    • Mods that include skins will feature a small aircraft icon you can click to quickly check what skins are included
  • Skins and installed files should now be shown more consistently
  • A ton of behind-the-scenes changes to make this stuff look and work more consistently too
• A ton of other minor updates
  • Finding new aircraft skins from the Skins view is easier (and includes ModDB)
  • Bunch of minor layout changes/fixes
  • Heaps of behind-the-scenes code cleanup and refactoring that should make things a little more stable and easier to update

All of the automatic skin slot features are a) very new and potentially not 100% stable and b) not guaranteed to work. Depending on how the mod was packed, we might not be able to auto-detect the slot and you will have to keep track of those mods yourself.

As always, please report any issues you find on GitHub.
