NUnit failed to load test assembly after upgrading from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0

[kbeaugrand]

After Bumping the nuget package from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0 we are facing this issue:
Both command line and Visual Studio are unable to launch the Unit tests ont our project.

Visual Studio "see" the test collection but is unable to launch it.

On github action we have the following logs:

Please see issues #1065, #1066 and #1069, and NUnit.Engine issue nunit/nunit-console#1324
There is a dev version attached to the two first issues, appreciate if you check that that one works.

We will try to get this hotfix out this evening.

@OsirisTerje I tested the 4.4.1 (pre-release) of the package.

That's working on my side.
I'll wait for this version ;)

Thank you for your help.

--- EDIT
I tested the 4.4.1-alpha.1 coming from #1065

[OsirisTerje]

Hotfix version 4.4.2, nearly identical to the alpha version attached yesterday, is now released. The difference from the attached version is that the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyModel is not included in the adapter package. It is not needed there, so it was removed. The release notes is here https://docs.nunit.org/articles/vs-test-adapter/AdapterV4-Release-Notes.html (includes some more explanations) and the package is uploaded to nuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/NUnit3TestAdapter/4.4.2. Thanks, everyone for reporting and providing repros!
