Excellent work, feel free to checkout the tML source and build a version with updated libraries (or even just try swapping in updated versions using dnSpy) and let us know if there’s any issues. We can definitely trial it!

Mono & .NET Framework have now been replaced with .NET 5+ on all platforms in TML for 1.4. You can find the alpha for that in our discord.
