MonoGame 3.8.1

Love it!

Just a few things to mention as a JetBrains Rider user transitioning from a 3.8.0 project.

This change made it so my project wouldn’t build, as it went from directly referencing the mgcb dll to the dotnet tool, which I didn’t have installed.

My workaround was to install it via cli:

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-mgcb

Which installed it to my ~/.dotnet/tools directory as mgcb.exe. Unfortunately, this is also not invoked correctly by the build script, because it is intended to be invoked directly, not prefaced by dotnet. See here for why.

To finally fix it I simply renamed the executable dotnet-mgcb.exe so it would be properly run. Not sure why I had to go through these steps, but hopefully this will be a help to any others running into this problem.
