Dealing with Compatibility Issues

Due to certain inconsistencies between .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Core 2.x, you may need to apply one or more workarounds as described below when using Omnifactotum with your projects compiled for .NET Standard 2.0 or .NET Core 2.x -or- a mix of .NET Standard 2.0 and/or .NET Core 2.x and/or .NET Framework 4.x:

Omnifactotum's Class or Method Workaround
System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair Use Omnifactotum.OmnifactotumKeyValuePair.
<code>OmnifactotumCollectionExtensions.ToHashSet(...)</code> Use static method invocation instead of extension method invocation. That is: OmnifactotumCollectionExtensions.ToHashSet(collection) instead of collection.ToHashSet().
<code>OmnifactotumDictionaryExtensions.GetValueOrDefault</code> Use static method invocation instead of extension method invocation. That is: OmnifactotumDictionaryExtensions.GetValueOrDefault(dictionary) instead of dictionary.GetValueOrDefault().

### Changes in 0.4.0 (since 0.3.0.119)

#### Major Updates
- `Omnifactotum` is now the multi-target package for:
 - .NET Framework 4.0, 4.6.1, and 4.7.2
 - .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1
 - .NET 5.0
- Addressed multi-target compatibility issues in:
 - `ColoredConsoleTraceListener`
 - `OmnifactotumAssemblyExtensions`
 - `OmnifactotumCollectionExtensions`
 - `OmnifactotumDictionaryExtensions`
 - `OmnifactotumOperationContextExtensions`
 - `KeyValuePair` (static helper)
 - Omnifactotum's `ReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue>`
 - `WinEventLog`
- Added `OmnifactotumKeyValuePair` static helper for facilitating migration from .NET Framework to .NET Standard/Core

#### Breaking Changes
- `Factotum`: Removed the methods `ToPropertyString` and `AreEqualByContents` in favor of methods `ToPropertyString` and `IsEqualByContentsTo` in `OmnifactotumGenericObjectExtensions`
- `OmnifactotumArrayExtensions`: The method `AsReadOnly()` moved to `OmnifactotumCollectionExtensions`
- `OmnifactotumCustomAttributeProviderExtensions`: Removed the obsolete method `GetCustomAttributes`
- `OmnifactotumGenericObjectExtensions`: Removed the methods `Affirm` and `ComputePredicate`
- `OmnifactotumMathExtensions`: Removed the methods `Sqr(decimal)`, `SqrChecked(float)`, `SqrChecked(double)` since their expected behavior cannot be achieved

#### New features
- `OmnifactotumCollectionExtensions`: Added `ToUIString` implementation for collections of strings and collections of nullable value type instances
- `OmnifactotumGenericObjectExtensions`: Implemented `Morph()` overloads for nullable value types (to complement already existing method for the reference types)
- `OmnifactotumNullableBooleanExtensions`: Added an overload of `ToString` accepting value provider delegates
- Added `ReadOnlyItemCollection<T>` (read-only wrapper for `ICollection<T>`)
- Added partial support of Nullable Reference Types:
 - `OmnifactotumGenericObjectExtensions.EnsureNotNull`
- Exposed the class `OmnifactotumRepresentationConstants` (formerly `OmnifactotumConstants`)
- Applied `PureAttribute`, `InstantHandleAttribute`, and `NoEnumerationAttribute` annotations in certain appropriate cases

#### Fixes and improvements
- Improved documentation
- `KeyedEqualityComparer<T, TKey>`: `IEqualityComparer.Equals` and `IEqualityComparer.GetHashCode` now don't throw an exception f an argument is not compatible with the type `T`
- `OmnifactotumAssemblyExtensions`
- `OmnifactotumCollectionHashCodeHelper` (as per the fix in `OmnifactotumHashCodeHelper`)
- `OmnifactotumDateTimeOffsetExtensions`
- `OmnifactotumEnumExtensions`: `GetName`, `GetQualifiedName`, `GetFullName`, `EnsureDefined`, and `IsDefined`
- `OmnifactotumGenericObjectExtensions`:
 - `ToUIString()` now uses the invariant culture if the value is `IFormattable`
 - Fix in `IsEqualByContentsTo()` for the case of a type with no fields
- `OmnifactotumHashCodeHelper`: Fix in CombineHashCodeValues (for case when the next hash code is zero)
- `OmnifactotumMethodBaseExtensions`
- `OmnifactotumTypeExtensions`
- Updated JetBrains Annotations in `Omnifactotum.Annotations`
