First 8.2 Pre-Release
This is our first pre-release from the new 8.2 series. The first release of any kind in 7 years. We have revamped the build system, and managed to add .NET Core support, down to .NET Core 3.1. Minimum Framework version has been bumped to 4.6.1. We test on .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5.0 and .NET 6.0.
We are seeking feedback on any broken changes. Much has changed.
This release contains various bits of code contributed by the fine folks at Windward Studios over the last 7 years, along with a number of other contributors. The IKVM.OpenJDK.* assemblies are gone, replaced with a single IKVM.Java assembly. The tools are released as GitHub Release Assets, for each of the various supported platforms.
We have pushed a new NuGet package version: https://www.nuget.org/packages/IKVM/8.2.0-prerelease0392
We hope after a period of feedback to build and publish a final 8.2.0 release.
Thanks to the large set of contributors over the last 7 years who have made changes that have not seen the light of day.
