Targets

Target Status Notes
net11.0 STS (supported to 14 Nov 2028) Additional target; C# 15; ships in the release bundles.
net10.0 LTS (supported to 14 Nov 2028) Supported compatibility target.
net9.0 EOL (10 Nov 2026) Supported compatibility target; no security fixes after EOL.
net8.0 EOL (10 Nov 2026) Supported compatibility target; no security fixes after EOL.

2.0.1 restores the net8.0/net9.0/net10.0 assets that 2.0.0 accidentally dropped. netstandard2.0/net6.0 are not targets: the library uses Span<T>/FileStreamOptions/SHA3_256 and modern BCL APIs. Consumers on older frameworks can use the 1.4.x package line.

Versioning

  • Major: breaking public-API changes (announced in the release notes).
  • Minor: additive APIs, new CLI verbs/flags, behavior fixes. Optional parameters may be added; package validation against the previous release catches accidental removals.
  • Patch: fixes only, no new public surface.

The package validates against PackageValidationBaselineVersion (currently 2.0.0). The FAC-01 facade removals remain part of the baseline history. Do not add suppressions without a written reason.

Platform support

Windows 10 1607+, Linux (glibc) and macOS are supported. Release bundles cover win-x64, win-arm64, linux-x64, linux-arm64, MacOsX-x64 and MacOsX-arm64; the CLI also builds win-x86. The WPF tester is Windows-only.

Security

See SECURITY.md for reporting and Known Limitations for the current boundaries. Release artifacts ship with an SPDX SBOM and build-provenance attestation; code signing is conditional on repository signing secrets.
