v10.2.0 - content and release date

[adrianhall]

Hey folks,

You've probably heard about this in the news, but there have been a LOT of agentic vulnerabilities reported over the last few months. I'm putting stuff in place to ensure I can respond to these quickly. As a result of this, v10.2.0 is light on content, but jam packed with process.

Specifically, all the NU1903 warnings across all projects and samples have been remediated. I'm also adding specific CI for samples building to ensure I catch any vulnerabilities and problems there as well.

There is no functional changes in v10.2.0, so it's up to you whether you want to pick it up or not. However, there is a major note around SQLitePCLRaw - our SQLite provider. The version that is embedded deep inside Entity Framework Core has a "high" rated security vulnerability. Irrespective of whether you decide to upgrade or not, you SHOULD update SQLitePCLRaw to v3.0.3 or later. Instructions for this are in the docs.

I expect to release v10.2.0 on Friday 17th July.
