Modernize the repository

brantburnett commented 5 months ago

Motivation

Many of these projects are using outdated .NET versions and patterns.

Modifications

Update to C# 12
Update all NuGet projects to target .NET 6
Update all test and example projects to target .NET 8 and use modern patterns and practices
Move to centralized package version management and upgrade packages related to test projects
Add package source mapping for a better NuGet security posture
Move a variety of common settings to Directory.Build.props
Drop the defunct Couchbase.Extensions.Identity project
Embed the icon consistently in the NuGet packages
Embed readmes in the NuGet packages
Consistently use license expressions on the NuGet packages
Resolve some obsolete warnings

Results

We're in a much better position to do further development. There should be no notable change to the package behaviors at this time. We'll probably update the Couchbase SDK versions in a subsequent PR.

Update all NuGet projects to target .NET 6 Did you mean .NET 8?

No, for the NuGet packages themselves I left them on .NET 6 since it's still supported, just removed .NET Standard 2.1. Test projects went to .NET 8 though.

Drop the defunct Couchbase.Extensions.Identity project

Is it defunct or just way, way outdated?

Primarily way, way outdated, it still targets SDK 2 which hasn't been supported in years. I therefore concluded that the project itself must be defunct, and figured we could resurrect it from history later if required.
