FsUnit vNext

[CaptnCodr]

Developments of FsUnit's dependencies are going on and FsUnit needs to adapt sometimes. (nunit/nunit#4568)

As I mentioned here: #256 (comment)

I will make a plan for the NUnit 4.0.0 migration. NUnit 3.X will be supported for the time being.

In the meantime of discussing in the NUnit repository I made a little plan to migrate to NUnit v4 + maintaining NUnit v3.X side-by-side. NUnit v3.X will be maintained for bugfixes etc.

I researched some thingies, evaluated those and that's my plan:

• Project FsUnit.NUnit will be migrated to NUnit v4, stays FsUnit on nuget, exported for net462 & net6.0
  - New Project FsUnit.NUnit3 gets the old code, gets FsUnit.NUnit3 on nuget, exported for netstandard2.0 & net6.0 (as before)
• Both FsUnit.NUnit and FsUnit.NUnit3 get the same nuget version every update
• Can be built side-by-side in existing solution

Further updates:

• Upgrading MsTest to 3.x
• Clean ups

Recommended FsUnit vNext is 6.0.0, release eta mid January 2024

Checklist:

• FsUnit.NUnit NUnit v4 migration (FsUnit 6.0.0-alpha1)
  - New Project FsUnit.NUnit3
• Upgrade to MsTest 3.x (FsUnit 6.0.0-alpha2)
• Clean ups (FsUnit 6.0.0-alpha3)
• Update docs (Update docs & update copyright for 2024. #262)

@sergey-tihon Do you have some suggestions or more points for the checklist?

Project FsUnit.NUnit will be migrated to NUnit v4, stays FsUnit on nuget, exported for net462 & net6.0

Agree, but I think that there is no need to support net462 anymore. in my opinion net6 is enough

New Project FsUnit.NUnit3 gets the old code, gets FsUnit.NUnit3 on nuget, exported for netstandard2.0 & net6.0 (as before)

It is up to you, but I do not see the need for such support. If I am on the old .NET I am should be fine to not update dependencies, NUnit version will be fixed anyway, FsUnit does not have so many bugs and fixes.

Thank you for your evaluation, I respect that.

Hello, we would like to update Fantomas to NUnit 4 and we would require a new version of FsUnit with the bump. Please consider releasing an alpha package when you have something. Thanks!

[CaptnCodr]

Hi Florian, I will notify you, when there's an alpha version!
