Is there also a plan for releasing a new version of Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.DurableTask that uses this new 2.10.0 version instead of 2.9.x?

@jviau, we should release Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.DurableTask to support 2.1.0.0, as mentioned above. Any blockers on that?
