This release enables multi-targeting for the WPF and WinForms libraries for .NET 8 and .NET Framework 4.6.2 allowing .NET Framework users to continue using HtmlRenderer. As long as there's no additional maintenance effort, it doesn't hurt to provide support for both ends.

• Fix GIF loading in the WinForms Demo (#253)
• Enable PDF rendering in the WPF demo (#254)
• Multi-target .NET 8 and .NET Framework 4.6.2 for WPF and WinForms libraries (#222)

By updating to .NET 8 HTML-Renderer starts to properly join the cross-platform realm. This means that the Mono NuGet packages is no longer relevant, as any .NET project can consume HtmlRenderer.Core directly.

The main challenge for this release was the update of PDFsharp to the 6.x lineage, which also brings cross-platform support. Unfortunately that change required a custom font resolution solution, which took a bit longer to implement.

• Update projects to .NET 8 or .NET Standard 2.0 (#234)
• Update .NET & GitHub Actions Dependencies (#245)
• Update language version to 12.0 (#248)
• Update PDFsharp to 6.2.3 (#238)
• Allow registering of custom font directories for PDFs (#249)
• Fix PDF page orientation (#250)

Minor fixes before approaching the third phase of the roadmap (#219).

• Replace deprecated WPF overloads (#229)
• Do not inherit "vertical-align" (#231)
• Fixed IndexOutOfRange (#232)
• Fix anchorPageidx in the PDF generator (#233)

After ~8 years of no new release / NuGet package, it's time to finally bring this project out of the "beta" phase. 🎉

Deprecation

.NET has come along way since the early 2014 when HTML Renderer 1.5.x was started, as such support for old .NET Framework versions and client profiles are deprecated and removed.

This release targets .NET Framework 4.6.2, which is still supported by Microsoft and is compatible with any newer .NET Framework version.

Mono has been largely merged into the .NET runtime and while it continues to be maintained by the wine team, there's little point in maintaining a separate package. The goal is to move to .NET Standard 2.0 / .NET 8 / .NET 10 with the next release. See the Roadmap for more details
