New release needed for 4.0 support, please

[NVargP]

Hello,

In issue #48 compatibility with 4.0 was addressed, it looks like code was merged into master. However there has been no release since then, could you please do a new release including compatibility with 4.0 ?

English is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes.

Thank you.

I started the release process last month but had issues with unit tests not passing.

I've had limited time for open source lately due to health and work reasons; I'll see if I can release r.net and rclr with enough confidence these failing unit tests are spurious artefacts.

Thank you, hope your health improves soon! I very much appreciate the effort, rClr is fantastic. Thank you for this great code, it is a life saver.

Hi J-M,

I hope you are feeling better.

I'm adding this here rather than as a separate issue as it is related. I am trying to install the testing branch of the package to see if it works with 4.0. However when I try to install it from github it breaks down during compilation with the following error:

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'rClr': .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rClr', details: call: fun(libname, pkgname) error: rClr library .NET framework not found - looked under C:/Users/Graeme/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpaQsHrE/Rinst2c3c7b497a5d/00LOCK-rClr/00new/rClr/libs//x64 but not found in Error: loading failed Execution halted

I have run the setup_vcpp.cmd, and 'where msbuild' works. I tried installing both from the R prompt and from the Command prompt. The full output is as follows:

`
