Hey @jonorossi I don't really know how long will it take for the 5.0.0 to be released, but in the meantime can we get an intermediate version that targets the .NET Standard 2.0 instead of the 1.6 so we can get rid of the CVE-2017-0247 ?

It is a very old vulnerability, but tools are reporting it and security department is not happy.
Releasing the point of history after the merging of #485 should do it most likely.

Thanks!

How do we start ticking off more of the boxes?

I’ve updated a few of the test-related nuget packages as part of the net6.0 but what about the rest?

[jonorossi]

CI builds appear to be working well. The AppVeyor build is running tests again .NET Framework 4.?, .NET Core 3.1.24 and .NET 6.0.4.

I've regenerated the nuget.org API token for publishing, hopefully publishing will all still work well. I'll update the changelog before publishing.

Does anyone want to do any further changes or final testing before release?

I'd say we're good to go! 🚀

Getting the TFMs set up was perhaps the single most important work left, and that has now just been completed.

I'll be happy to start working on some of the reported bugs soon, but that can happen anytime and isn't tied to v5.

Thanks @stakx.

Those that intend to use the .NET 6 build straight away, I'd be great if you could test the latest build:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/castleproject/core/build/job/1ueqyrfx9hk9n67f/artifacts

In 24 hours I'll publish the release.

Is it feasible/easy to push out a 5.0.0-preview1 to NuGet? Much easier for me to pull that into various solutions and run tests against.

Great idea. Just published v5.0.0-beta001.

It would be good to get at least one mocking library upgraded to run their test suite (@stakx any chance you've got time to create a branch for Moq so its test suite gets run before we publish final?).
