Intent to drop .NET Core App 2.1 as target framework
See original GitHub issueRelated to #438, I intend to drop netcoreapp2.1
as a target framework. Note that the package still supports netstandard 1.4, which is the reason I’m going to drop the core app as a target. Somebody can correct me if I’m wrong here, but there’s no need to target netcoreappX
when we’re already targeting netstandard
, as the netstandard
package will continue working in a .NET Core app without any changes. I think I was just a little confused about the new .NET versioning/framework naming scheme when it was added as a target.

@nozzlegear why can’t the library simply target
netstandard
? It should work in .NET Framework and DotNetcore. From my quick scanning of the code I do not see the issue with supporting onlynetstandard
. Thoughts?Our 2.1 applications have some dependencies on some
netstandard1.x
packages. So it shouldn’t be a problem.Microsoft provides a
netstandard
