• WikiPage.RefreshAsync now accepts IWikiPageQueryProvider as parameter. ( #33 )
• Removed PageQueryOptions.FetchExtract and PageQueryOptions.FetchGeoCoordinate. You can use ExtractsPropertyProvider and GeoCoordinatePropertyProvider to request for these properties when calling WikiPage.RefreshAsync.
• WikiPage supports initialization from MediaWiki page IDs. You can even perform edit/move/delete operations without fetching for page titles beforehand.
• Added CategoriesGenerator. (v0.6-intX2a)

Major API changes

• Obsoleted FilePage and CategoryPage. Now you can simply use WikiPage to rule them all. (d4bf001)

• Moved UploadAsync methods to WikiClientLibrary.Files.WikiSiteExtensions as extension methods. (d4bf001)
• Moved WikiSite.Parse***Async methods to WikiClientLibrary.Pages.Parsing.WikiSiteExtensions as extension methods. (7f81501)
