Release 6.0.0

[stakx]

• Renew NuGet API key on AppVeyor → @jonorossi
• Ensure CI build succeeds
• Review issues (are all issues assigned to the 6.0.0 milestone completed?)
• Update changelog (version and release date)
• Create GitHub release and Git version tag, then 🤞
• Verify packages are published to & listed on NuGet

Can't wait 🚀

[stakx]

Ideally, we would have finally been able to decide which components and APIs should be marked [Obsolete] or removed immediately (logging facilities, DictionaryAdapter, etc.)... but it seems that has to wait for the next major release.

I think what we have now is good to go.

[stakx]

Bad news, there's going to be another delay as the NuGet API key has expired again. I'll have to let @jonorossi resolve that issue.

[stakx]

Since 6.0.0 currently cannot be released anyway due to technical reasons, I've decided to untag v6.0.0 to give us some more time to resolve the ongoing discussion in #663.

the expired NuGet API token (which I have no control over, and I have been unable to reach the powers that be).

@stakx Apologies Dom, I missed your 6th Feb email, it looks like it came in the same day as a heap of Castle GitHub notifications, of which because of life I haven't had a chance to read any of yet. I thought I had a Gmail filter+label for GitHub mentions, but it appears only for reviews, so I've created that now.

Thanks @304NotModified for the ping this morning.

Apologies for holding everyone up here. The v6.0.0 changelog looks awesome, some great work by all!

API key updated. I know I've been mentioning it for years, but it would be great to finally replace AppVeyor with GitHub Actions especially with the new NuGet.org Trusted Publishing.

@jonorossi Wow, nice to learn about NuGet publishing thingy 😊

[304NotModified]

I know I've been mentioning it for years, but it would be great to finally replace AppVeyor with GitHub Actions especially with the new NuGet.org Trusted Publishing.

I've implemented NuGet.org Trusted Publishing recently, that's super easy. I also recently moved (with one package) from appveyor to github actions, needed for Trusted Publishing, that is more difficult (Assembly/package versions etc).

But I could help with that migration of course :) I only need some info on the choices made on appveyor and the process flow of publishing (and maybe also the wishes).

I also migrated some of my projects. I use Nuke build system in all of my pet projects (can recommend it a lot), so in principle the migration was trivial, as it's a matter of having a different runner. GitHub Actions are amazing! 😍
