v1.0.0-alpha.11

• Add unit tests for CurrentUserService and CurrentEmployeeService types by @MrDave1999 in #250
• Add integration tests for the login use case by @MrDave1999 in #251
• Create bash scripts to avoid repeating the same dotnet build and restore command in the Dockerfile by @MrDave1999 in #252

v1.0.0-alpha.10

• Plug-in architecture has been implemented using the library called CPlugin.Net.
  Check here for more information.
• This release provides a way to dynamically load libraries (DLLs) from a configuration file (.env).
  This means that the host application can decide which module to load, because there is no static reference.
• CQRS pattern was applied. MediatR is not needed to apply this pattern.
• Result pattern has been implemented using the SimpleResults library.
• YeSQL.NET has been used to avoid embedding SQL code in the C# source files.
• Docker support has been added.
• A workflow has been added to run the tests on each pull request.
  GitHub Actions has been used to apply continuous integration.
• Integration test project has been created.
• Integration tests have been added to test the use cases with database and a test web server.
• A library called Respawn has been added to clear data from tables after a test is run.
• Project documentation has been added to README.md.
• The solution has been divided into different projects to have a better control of third-party dependencies.
• References to nuget packages have been added in a single file called Directory.Packages.props.
• Global properties have been added for all projects from a file called Directory.Build.props.
  See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/nuget/introducing-central-package-management
• .NET 8 support added.
• Migrated to EF Core 8.0.
• The middleware for exception handling has been removed. The current solution implements the IExceptionHandler interface to follow the OCP principle.
• Fluent Validation library has been added to use predefined validation rules and also to create custom rules.
• XML comments have been added to the controller actions to expose it in the Swagger UI.
• Scrutor library has been added to automatically register use case classes in the service collection.
  This is a similar approach to what MediatR does with handlers.
