v2.0.0

Advisories and Breaking Changes

In this release, we are dropping support for .NET 4.6. This needs to be done to move forward with the framework and innovate using the new APIs and assemblies.

Highlights from the issue description:

.NET Framework 4.6 (and 4.6.1) went out of support on April 26, 2022. Continuing to publish Octokit for this target adds a support burden.

.NET standard 2.0 covers .NET Framework 4.6.2 already.

Supporting a single target framework, .NET standard 2.0, would simplify maintenance of this project while supporting all target frameworks currently supported upstream.

For reference, these are the supported versions going forward

.NET implementation	Version support
.NET and .NET Core	2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 5.0, 6.0
.NET Framework	4.6.1 2, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8
