Release v1.0 draft.

[gerardog]

This is a big milestone. Let's take some time, to let early adopters (maybe you?) test it.

Features

• Feature: Improve elevation of Bash commands #56: [BREAKING CHANGE] No more need to make additional character escaping (like " to \"). Now most commands can be elevated by prepending 'gsudo'.
  For example:

# Before: (<= v0.7.3)
gsudo Get-Item '""C:\Program Files\""'
$hash = gsudo "(Get-FileHash \""$file\"" -Algorithm $algorithm).Hash"
$hash = gsudo '(Get-FileHash \"C:\My Secret.txt\").Hash'
# After: (only standard pwsh escaping rules needed)
gsudo Get-Item "C:\Program Files\"
$hash = gsudo "(Get-FileHash ""$file"" -Algorithm $algorithm).Hash"
$hash = gsudo '(Get-FileHash "C:\My Secret.txt").Hash'

• Feature: Improve elevation of WSL commands #55: [BREAKING CHANGE] Now prepend gsudo (.exe now optional) to elevate WSL commands, or use gsudo -d {cmd} to elevate CMD commands.

• Feature: Add an option to bypass shell wrapper #80 Added -d/--direct to bypass the shell wrapper (i.e. powershell/bash/wsl) and treat the command to elevate as a Windows / CMD app.
  For example in gsudo -d notepad C:\file.txt launched from powershell (or wsl or git-bash/MinGW, for that matter) the -d indicates it is not a PS command, so gsudo doesn't need to launch a new PS instance (notepad is not a PS command, and there is no need to resolve it using PS aliases), and just let it find and launch notepad.exe from the path. It is also faster because launching powershell is slow on some systems.

Fixes

• Issue: Self-Elevation Breaks if Path Contains Spaces #62 + duplicate Issue: Can't configure cache mode #93

• Issue: Microsoft Store Apps fail to elevate if command line has quotes #78

• Issue: cmd line title on elevation / deelevation #91 Removed Administrator: prefix from console title on de-elevations.

• Issue: gsudo launches a 64 bit cmd when ran in a 32-bit cmd (on x64) #92

• 'Process exited with code' message now only shown in Debug mode

[gerardog]

To try it, please open a CMD as administrator, then:
choco install gsudo --version=1.0.0-draft1 --pre

(then do gsudo -v and check for v1 to be sure you are running the latest)

Please, be sure gsudo is not running or else the update will fail.
