SE Plugin 0.8.0

This release extends the API, improves navigation, documentation, adds new a Python client, and more.

IMPORTANT: Make sure Windows is OK to run the libraries. Windows (10+) blocks "randomly" downloaded libraries. To unblock them, right-click on each of them and open file properties. Look for the Security section on the bottom part of the General tab. You might see a message: "This file came from another computer and might be blocked...". If so, check the Unblock checkbox.
(If you skip this step, the game will probably crash with a message: System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location...)

The plugin runs a TCP/IP server with JSON-RPC 2.0 API. It allows to access surrounding of the player's character in a structured form (WOM), control the character, and much more.

Plugin binaries tested with Space Engineers version 1.201.013 (released in May 2022).

Built against SE sources revision 140124 (from February 2022).
