I'm not sure when it changed, but it's because of the way building works under visual studio. By default you have a debug build which contains all the information you need to debug your app. If you want to deploy your app you just change build configuration to release, rebuild, and the produced binarys are in bin/release for easy distrubution and don't contain any debug info.
