Enhancement | Add explicit version for major .NET version dependencies

[ErikEJ]

I have also removed explicit references in test projects, they will just use the transitive reference

[ErikEJ]

@David-Engel Wonder if it is time to abandon support for netstandard2.0 and netstandard2.1 ? Let me know and I will be happy to do a PR

@DavoudEshtehari Should I be concerned about the test failures?

[H-Yeo]

@ErikEJ , I've re-run the failed Pipeline tests, and all the tests have passed. It's on the final step Merge Code, and I usually never see any problems when it get's that far. Thank-you for making sure the build goes green. Cheers.

That's a major version bump task. I think we'll go to 6.0 after 5.2, so it's something we'll consider.

LGTM, only the naming could be improved to something more appropriate identifying net8 and upper.

Net6 will be out of support by the end of this year and this will become the only version props for the driver. We can adjust the name to version.props on that time.

[ErikEJ]

@JRahnama any suggestions for a better name? Versioncurrent.props ?

Version latest.props?

[JRahnama]

Version latest.props?

Net8Plus

@JRahnama Javad Rahnama (SIMBA TECHNOLOGIES INC) Vendor any suggestions for a better name? Versioncurrent.props ?

Version latest.props?

We can either revers the order and set Net8 as the default version.props and add net6version.props for net6 or just change the name to Version8Compatible or something similar to it.

[ErikEJ]

@JRahnama I renamed the props file to VersionsNet8OrLater.props
