*This pull request fixes #2510 *

Description

Updates the version to 7.12.4. Also fixes the build pipeline so that the debug and release builds are copied to different directories, Nuget-Debug and Nuget-Release respectively. This avoids the confusion or the builds overwriting each other.

To verify that the write builds were stored in the right folder I ran a nighly pipeline and download the artifacts. The I unzipped the .nupkg and opened the the dlls in ildasm and followed the instructions post here to tell whether the build is JIT optimized or not:

• Open the ildasm (an easy way to find is to open the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio and enter the ildasm command)
• Open the dll file
• Open MANIFEST
• Find the DebuggableAttribute in the manifest.
• Look at the 4th byte of the value, if it's 0 then the assembly is JIT-optimized, otherwise it's not.

Here's what it looked like for a sample dll in the Nuget-Release folder. You can see the 4th byte is 00

Here's what it looked like for a sample dll in the Nuget-Debug folder. You can see the 4th byte is 01

Checklist (Uncheck if it is not completed)

• Test cases added
• Build and test with one-click build and test script passed

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

• Fast and predictable releases to production:
  • Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
    iterations.
  • Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
• Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
  • Bugs are more likely to be detected.
  • Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detected.
• Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
  • Small portions can be assimilated better.
• Better engineering practices are exercised:
  • Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
  • Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

• Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
  • Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
  • Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
  • Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
  • Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
• Change your engineering behaviors
  • For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
    • Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
    • Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

• One line was added: +1 -0
• One line was deleted: +0 -1
• One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
  interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
• Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
  of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.
