FarNet 6 "works on my machine", maybe by chance. Something might not work on
different machines / environments. Make a copy of Far Manager together with
installed old FarNet and modules.
Please report found issues. If it works, please let me know, too, all facts are
useful. Use the repository issues or discussions.

FarNet changes
The plugin and API did not change much.
Removed FarNet.Tools.dll, types moved to FarNet.dll not changed.
Modules are now developed with net6.0+.
FarNet.PowerShellFar changes
The module did not change much. Changes in PowerShell:
It's PowerShell 7.2.5, not 5.1, some things are slightly different, mostly better.
Module auto import is no more, use Import-Module before calling its commands.
WMI cmdlets are no more. CIM cmdlets replace them but they do not work yet.
PowerShell jobs do not work yet, use Start-FarTask, better in many ways.
FarNet.FSharp changes
The file structure changed as described above.
In brief, all files are in the module folder.
The module itself did not change much.
FarNet.RightWords changes
Uses WeCantSpell.Hunspell instead of NHunspell.
Thesaurus and its files are no longer used.
Custom user dictionaries did not change.
Upgrade your language dictionaries:
Move dictionary folders from %FARHOME%\FarNet\NHunspell to %FARPROFILE%\FarNet\RightWords
Convert dictionaries to UTF8 (recommended, see README for steps, e.g. KOI8-R is not supported)
Other FarNet modules
All other modules are upgraded and published on NuGet without changes.
FarNet.template
FarNet.template is upgraded and published on NuGet.
FarNet v6 and modules on .NET 6
