pack v0.0.6

The pack CLI now supports Windows!

This release also now adds full working support for pack run. This command supports the same flags and arguments as pack build - except the --publish flag. Additionally, you can now leverage your local environment variables in your container when building your application using the pack build --env-file argument.

Please note that commands that use buildpacks from local directories are not supported on Windows due to local file permission inconsistencies. Because of this limitation, the following features are not supported in the Windows version

• pack create-builder - Creating a custom builder image
• pack build --buildlpack <dir> - Ability to build your application using a local version of your buildpack source code.
