v0.4.x discussion thread

[0.4.2]

Security

• 🔒️❗️ OSLC4Net.Client now defaults to strong TLS certificate checking. Skipping TLS checks now requires explicit configuration.

Added

• ⚡️ Support for .NET 6+ was added by migrating most of the projects in the solution to target netstandard2.0.

Changed

• ⚡️ OSLC4Net.Core now targets netstandard2.0, which allows it to be used under .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher as well as .NET 6+.
• ⚡️ dotNetRDF was upgraded from v1 to v3 to enable targeting netstandard2.0.
  • One of the key breaking changes is that ITriple and INode no longer have the .Graph property.
  • ❗️ This caused breaking changes to some of the method signatures in OSLC4Net.DotNetRdfProvider to allow the IGraph instance to be passed.
• OSLC4Net.Client now targets netstandard2.0.
  • ❗️ The main breaking change is the replacement of the legacy WebRequestHandler with HttpClientHandler. This caused some method/constructor signatures to change.
  • ❗️ RemoteCertificateValidationCallback was replaced with a lambda function.
• OSLC4Net.Query now targets netstandard2.0. The Antlr3 runtime package targeting PCL was replaced with a package targeting NETStandard1.0 (Antlr 4 targets NETStandard2.0).
• ❗️ JsonMediaTypeFormatter was renamed into OslcJsonMediaTypeFormatter to better reflect its purpose (support a bespoke OSLC JSON format) and avoid conflict with System.Net.Http.Formatting.MediaTypeFormatter.
• Test projects were migrated from MSTestV2 to xUnit (except for integration tests for OSLC CM)

Deprecated

• .NET 6 support is deprecated as the EOL is approaching soon. Given that all non-Framework libraries target netstandard2.0, this should have no impact on the users.

Removed

• .NET 7 support was removed since the SDK has reached EOL.
• Newtonsoft.Json package was only used in the StockQuoteSample ASP.NET MVC project. Its references were removed from all other projects.

Fixed

This release does not contain bug fixes.

Due to what turned out to be a need for a workaround for NuGet/NuGetGallery#9343, I had to yank two partially successful deployments to NuGet.org: 0.4.0 and 0.4.1. The published version 0.4.2 contains exactly what was planned for 0.4.0.
