Deepgram .NET SDK 4.0.0-beta.1

!!This is in Pre-release Status!!

Accessing the Pre-Release:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Deepgram.Unstable.SDK.Builds/4.0.0-beta.1

Since this is a Pre-release:

• Interfaces will change! I guarantee they will! (Please see Release Guarantees section below)
• This is not production-worthy code. Use at your own risk.
• This allows you to move and develop your apps alongside the releases and doesn't leave you with a big lift in your code at the end!

TODOs:
Please check the project milestone to both track the release and also see what work needs to be done.
https://github.com/deepgram/deepgram-dotnet-sdk/milestone/1

Significant items needing to be implemented:

• [Streaming] keepalives
• [Streaming] parallel event processing
• [REST] creation of independent thread-safe REST clients. the REST clients themselves are thread-safe.... just means that you can create more than 1 thread-safe client.
• [General] Logging strategy
• [General] Still a bunch of TODOs for Comments
• Examples

Release Guarantees:

• Going between v3 -> v4 by SemVer definition will contain breaking interface changes that will need to be reflected in your code!
• Alpha and Beta releases still reserve the right to change the interfaces anytime! Interfaces will be changing!
• Release Candidate (RC) will freeze all interface changes and attempt to preserve interface changes going forward. Breaking interface changes will be done only as a last resort.

The Details...

Changes in this release:

• the REST and WebSocket clients are stable and working (I did bonk alpha.4 because I relied too much on unit tests, but this is working!)
• the interfaces are stable but until RC, we still reserve the right to change them based on feedback
• there are examples in the examples folder at the root of the repo for PreRecorded and Streaming
• the beta releases are meant as a preview of things to come, but some somethings have not been implemented yet. Please check the TODOs for significant outstanding items
