Update `Serilog.Sinks.File` to 5.x #181

Closed pinkfloydx33 closed 2 years ago

This project is currently using Serilog.Sinks.File 4.0.0 while version 5.0.0 has been available since June 2021. The older 4.0 version has a lot of dependencies on system packages like System.IO which in turn have various other "older" dependencies. This is causing some issues for us with implicit package downgrades in completely unrelated parts of our app. Manually adding the update to Serilog.Sinks.File fixes the problem.

Compare the depdendencies:

That aside, what does this library actually use the File sink for? Github code search only showing the reference in the project file. Is it actually used for something?

Thanks for the note!

The file sink is used to write local durable buffer files when the sink is configured in that mode.
