Two refactors that together reshape how the stack tier is laid out:
1. Rename `Opc.Ua` project to `Opc.Ua.Core.Types`
* Stack/Opc.Ua/ -> Stack/Opc.Ua.Core.Types/ (git mv preserves history)
* Opc.Ua.csproj -> Opc.Ua.Core.Types.csproj
* AssemblyName : `Opc.Ua` -> `Opc.Ua.Core.Types`
* PackageId : `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua` ->
`OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Core.Types`
* RootNamespace : kept as `Opc.Ua`
* StackGeneration.cs assembly-name switch updated; the renamed
assembly still produces `StackGenerationType.Models`.
* The `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua` name now belongs solely to
the roll-up meta-package (nuget/Opc.Ua.nuspec); the meta-package's
former self-dependency is replaced with the new
`.Core.Types` package, and `.Symbols.nuspec` gains the
matching `.Core.Types.Debug` debug-symbol dependency.
2. Move `Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates` from Libraries/ to Stack/
It is a stack-tier dependency consumed by Opc.Ua.Core, not a
higher-level library extension, so it now sits alongside the other
stack projects.
Both refactors update the same set of cross-cutting infrastructure:
- UA.slnx, UA Core Library.slnx, Applications/ConsoleReferenceServer/Dockerfile
- .azurepipelines/signlist{Debug,Release}.txt
- ProjectReferences across Stack/, Libraries/, Tests/, Fuzzing/
- Tests/Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Stack.Tests/StackGenerationAssemblyTests.cs
- Docs/PlatformBuild.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md (new
Core.Types package listed)
Verification
* dotnet build UA.slnx -c Debug -- succeeded, 0 errors
* StackGenerationAssemblyTests : 5 passed
* Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests : 40 passed
* Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests : 3514 passed, 8 skipped
* Opc.Ua.Core.Tests (Stack filter) : 1982 passed, 80 skipped
* Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates.Tests : 239 passed
- change macOS 11 ci builds to newer ones, macOS 11 is deprecated
- fix Opc.Ua.Client EventSource message numbering
- bump nerdgit to 3.6.139
- include .NET Standard 2.0 builds back in Nuget packages for client and server (complex type support requires netcoreapp2.1 which is end of life)
- include .NET Framework 4.7.2 as lowest supported .NET Framework platform
- move https client channel back to core library, as it requires only netstandard2.0 and has no other dependencies.
- Opc.Ua.Https is now only needed for a https server with kestrel.
- fix security warning for system.private.uri
- upload Quickstarts.Servers to the preview feed to allow use in the samples repo and avoid duplicate codebase
The goal is to reduce the overall number of builds, stop using end of life platforms in the build pipeline and to support
build of future/deprecated build targets in a custom build step, which is also triggered weekly in the ci builds.
In addition:
- added a doc which describes the release and versioning strategy of this project
- produce the Nuget packges with .NET 8 assemblies.
- produce a Docker build based on a .NET 8 based container.
- add custom test targets to test outdated platforms. Need a manual step to enable for VS or command line.
- bug fixes: the latest move to an alternate crypto library for Bouncy Castle, which is only used for the GDS support and .NET Framework 4.6.2./netstandard2.0, revealed already a few issues which were previously not found.
- only .NET8/.NET6/.NET Framework 4.8 are tested in Pull requests. Remaining builds in weekly scheduled builds.
