1st Official Release

It has been an incredible journey, and I am thrilled to announce the release of Spargine 8 version 2024.8.3.1, now transformed to leverage Microsoft .NET 8, accompanied by updated NuGet packages. Spargine encompasses foundational code that I have been crafting since the days of .NET 2! Additionally, it features a library designed to assist with your testing and another dedicated to benchmarking your code.

Given that .NET 8 is a long-term support version, I seized the opportunity to thoroughly update Spargine. This version also incorporates some impactful changes, including breaking modifications. If you are a Spargine user, I strongly recommend reading this article to familiarize yourself with these alterations. I believe I've addressed the majority of them.

Transitioning to Spargine has markedly enhanced its overall performance. If your team leverages .NET, I strongly recommend migrating to this new version expeditiously!
