appVeyor build - nuget link - gpr link Upgrade-Package NBi.Framework -version 1.21.0-rc0001

This release 1.21 extends the work on the support of data quality checks. The main achievement is the new result-set now available in the assertions. This new result-set also includes the xml-source element to source some information from an xml file. This inclusion also adds a few additional features for this source that really helps en enlarge the scope of possibilities. Availability of the result-set means that you can use all the features such as alterations even in the result-set defined in the assertion equal-to. Speaking about alterations, we have added a bunch of them for summarization, unstacking (kind of pivot) but also to rename or project some columns. Another new set of features concerns files and paths, NBi is now able to use a set of files as the source of an instance-settling and some native transformations should help when creating tests with a dynamic set of files. A few other enhancements focus on the native transformations and the usage of variables at many places.
