This approach has been discouraged since SMAPI 1.3; use `helper.DirectoryPath` + instead. + +For SMAPI developers: +* Rewrote assembly loading from the ground up. The new implementation... + * is much simpler; + * eliminates the `.cache` folders by loading rewritten assemblies from memory; + * ensures DLLs are loaded in leaf-to-root order (i.e. dependencies first); + * improves dependent assembly resolution; + * no longer loads DLLs if they're not referenced; + * reduces log verbosity. + ## 1.7 See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.6...1.7). |
