Hi folks/contributors, Looks like youre doing a great job with issue tracking etc, i just wondered what the likelihood of a .netstandard 2.0 production release is? I see there are some pre-release versions, but with the release of .netcore 3.0, i wondered if you would allocate effort to that rather than .net std 2.0?

Well done though, i will be pulling the latest prerelease, just would prefer production!

I made the 207 version a production version: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NetMQ/4.0.0.207

I would guess supporting .net core 3 would be just to add another target to the csproj, @WattsC-90 do you want to try?

There's no benefit to increasing the netstandard version on the package if we're not going to use newer APIs in the code itself. As it stands, it will run just fine on .NET Core 3.0.

Is there a particular reason you wanted to have it updated, or did you just want an official netstandardrelease?

Its just about having an official release, my understanding is that unless its marked as dotnet 3 compatible it wont install the nuget? Maybe I am wrong? I am just trying to get all my ducks in a row before piling jn on a project!

The maximum netstandard version that netcoreapp3.0 supports isn't yet published on the docs, but so long as a library supports netstandard2.1 or lower, it will definitely work for you. The versions are backwards compatible.

If NetMQ increases the version of netstandard that is supports, fewer runtimes and platforms will be able to use it. Library maintainers are motivated to keep the version low to maximise support, but have to balance that against increasing the version to get access to newer library features.
