• CHANGES AFFECTING BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
  • Added .NET 6 as a Target Framework to the Sif.Framework project and dropped .NET Framework 4.7.2.
  • Removed .NET Framework 4.6.1 as a Target Framework from all SDK-style library projects.
  • Deprecated the IPersistable interface for the IHasUniqueIdentitifer interface from the Tardigrade.Framework NuGet package.
  • Re-designed the ISifService interface.
  • Re-designed the IAuthorisationService and IAuthenticationService interfaces.

  • Replaced references to the GenericService class with the ObjectService class from the Tardigrade.Framework NuGet package.
  • Refactored the constructor of all infrastructure service classes to allow for injection of repositories and services.
  • Updated the NHibernate mapping for the Environment class to save the EnvironmentType enum property as a string rather than integer.
• CHANGES WHICH BREAK BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY WITH IMPLEMENTED CONSUMERS AND PROVIDERS
