Migrate from Version 4 to 5

The major changes are the following:

• Instead of using System.Net.Mail in version 4, version 5 uses MailKit and MimeKit.
• Instead of TextVariableManager the SmartFormat.Net library is used
• Instead of HtmlAgilityPack now Anglesharp is used

In order to migrate to version 5.0.0 the easiest way is:

• Remove any references to MailMergeLib version 4 and System.Net.Mail
• Add a reference to MailMergeLib version 5, MailKit and MimeKit
• You will get a bunch of compiler errors. Resolve them using the following table to find the counterparts for class properties and methods in version 5.

Together with the examples in the Wiki or the UnitTests you will be able to fix any remaining code issues. This migration guide refers to versions 4.0.3 and 5.0.0.
