LiveText v1.0.0 public release

LiveText goes public

This is our first public release with packaged binaries, which marks the start of an open testing phase.

If no relevant issues will be discovered (by us or other collaborators), this version will be delivered as the final product of our assignment, otherwise a release with the appropriate fixes will be published.

Note: both applications require the Visual C++ Runtime libraries installed on your sistem, vc_redist.x64.exe is provided in both release packages but has to be installed manually if needed.
