This pull request modernizes the OPC UA .NET codebase and tests, removes .NET Standard 2.0 support from certificate/security code, and updates test code to use C# 12 and .NET 8+ features for clarity and maintainability.
- Certificate and BouncyCastle interop files (e.g., CertificateBuilder.cs, X509Extensions.cs, X509SignatureFactory.cs) are refactored to drop NETSTANDARD2_0 support and use modern .NET APIs and conditional compilation.
- Test code across the codebase is updated to use default, strongly-typed Parse methods, collection expressions, and improved async/await patterns.
- Exception handling and assertions in tests are modernized, and test method naming is made consistent with Async suffixes.
- The project and build files are updated to clarify Roslynator analyzer usage and remove obsolete netstandard tags.
- General code and test cleanup includes improved null safety, type safety, and removal of deprecated or unused code.
- 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
- Fixed issue: After transfer, available sequence numbers were not properly ack/republished.
- Fixed issue: After transfer, race condition could delete subscription before transfer finished.
- Fixed issue: After reload of a subscription, duplicate client handles may have been used.
- Add tests which emulate the disconnection of a client/server, then transfers
- Add subscription variable to select if missing publish requests are just acknoledged (default) or republished after transfer completes. Set `Subscription.RepublishAfterTransfer` to `true`.
- Improve test framework to allow for testing against external servers using a .runsettings file
- improve publish request logging, by moving calls into `CoreClientUtils.EventLog`
- disable available sequence numbers check, it causes false negatives when many subscriptions are active
- vs2017 now only supports .NET 4.6.2 builds, .NET Core 2.1 is end of life.
- Roslynator was not properly excluded in VS2017, change the condition to <Choose>
- fixes#1630
- fix a few lgtm warnings
- fix a few license headers (everything outside of \Stack is MIT)
- fix flaky Hiresclock test.
- support for Microsoft.Extensions.Logger.ILogger in Opc.Ua.Core as the new logging interface
- backward compatible with config and TraceEvents
- new API Utils.SetLogger allows to set ILogger
- updated Console samples to demonstrate ILogger support with Serilog
- support for EventSource logging
- see Docs/Logging.md for more info
