[0.4.2] - 2024-10-09

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.
