Target netstandard1.3 and net45

I’d like to make sure people don’t do weird stuff with this library unless we know about it. One way to ensure this is to only target officially supported versions of .NET Core and the full .NET framework.

We currently target netstandard1.0 but this also includes stuff like Silverlight and Windows Phone, which are no longer supported by Microsoft.

For this reason, I’d like to target netstandard1.3 (which supports .NET Core 1+, .NET 4.6+, Xamarin, Mono, UWP) and net452 to support .NET 4.5.2 (which is the only officially supported .NET 4.5 version)

See .NET Standard for details.

If people really need it for older platforms, we can always talk about it and loosen this requirement - it’s always easier to add older targets than to remove them.

Edit 2018-02-20: We are using net45 instead of net452 (see comments)

I changed it to net45 instead of net452.

I’ve just released v0.11.0. Please create a new issue with your scenario if you need support for lower .NET Standard versions.
