• BREAKING: Paket.Core targets net10.0 instead of netstandard2.0: the projects and scripts that reference it must target net10.0 or later, as the paket .NET tool already needs the .NET 10 runtime. FSharp.DependencyManager.Paket stays on netstandard2.0 - #4317
• Update the NuGet client libraries from 5.11 to 7.9, along with System.Net.Http.WinHttpHandler and System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData
• Faster framework restrictions: writing the lock files of large repositories takes a quarter of the time and allocates less than 40% of the memory it did - #4317
• paket convert-from-nuget now updates .slnx solution files, as it does .sln ones - #4443
• paket convert-from-nuget removes the NuGet.Config, NuGet.targets and NuGet.exe files of the root .nuget folder again, as well as the folder once it is empty: Paket 11.0 had stopped finding them. It reads and removes the NuGet.Config of the root and of the .nuget folder under the names NuGet looks for, nuget.config, NuGet.config or NuGet.Config, and the NuGet.targets and NuGet.exe of the .nuget folder whatever the case of their name, where Linux only found lowercase names
• paket convert-from-nuget converts and removes nothing through a link: it skips the projects, NuGet files and solutions of the folders that are links, with a warning for each such folder, so these projects are not converted. It leaves in place a .nuget folder that is a link and the solutions that are links, and skips with a warning the solutions it cannot read or update, instead of failing
• paket convert-from-nuget only removes the solution items of a .sln that are files it deletes, found by their path in any solution folder. It removed the first line naming a NuGet file of .nuget, even a project or a packages.config it kept
• paket convert-from-nuget keeps the non-ASCII characters of a .sln without a BOM, which it saved in ASCII
• paket generate-load-scripts keeps in the group scripts the assemblies that reference themselves, like System.Reactive 7.0, which it dropped. It also keeps, with a warning, the assemblies and packages that depend on each other, which it dropped too - #4458
