5.0.0

Enhancements

• .NET 6.0 support (@Jevonius, #616)
• .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1 support (@lg2de, #485)
• Non-intercepted methods on a class proxy with target are now forwarded to the target (@stakx, #571)
• Significant performance improvements with proxy type generation for interface proxies without target. Up until now, DynamicProxy generated a separate IInvocation implementation type for every single proxied method – it is now able to reuse a single predefined type in many cases, thereby reducing the total amount of dynamic type generation. (@stakx, #573)

Bugfixes

• Generic method with differently named generic arguments to parent throws KeyNotFoundException (@stakx, #106)
• Proxying certain [Serializable] classes produces proxy types that fail PEVerify test (@stakx, #367)
• private protected methods are not intercepted (@CrispyDrone, #535)
• System.UIntPtr unsupported (@stakx, #546)
• DynamicProxy generates two modules when proceeding from a class proxy's protected method to the target, causing an InvalidOperationException when saving the generated assembly to disk (@stakx, #569)
• Upgrade log4net to v2.0.13 (@jonorossi, @stakx, @dschwartzni, #574, #605)

Deprecations

• Removed support for the .NET Framework < 4.6.2 and .NET Standard 1.x. (@stakx, #495, #496; @Jevonius, #614)
• Removed support for Code Access Security (CAS). (@stakx, #502)
• Removed support for Remoting. This library no longer defines any types deriving from MarshalByRefObject, and ProxyUtil.IsProxy (which used to recognize remoting/"transparent" proxies) now tests only for DynamicProxy proxies. (@stakx, #507)
• The following public members have been removed:
  • Castle.Core.Internal.CollectionExtensions (class)
  • Castle.Core.Internal.Lock (class) along with all related types and methods
  • Castle.Core.Internal.PermissionUtil.IsGranted (method)
  • Castle.Core.Pair<,> (type). Use System.ValueTuple<,> or System.Tuple<,> instead.
  • all type members in Castle.DynamicProxy.ModuleScope that gave direct access to DynamicProxy's type cache and ModuleBuilders. Only SaveAssembly, LoadAssemblyIntoCache, and members supporting these two facilities are left public.
  • almost all types and type members in the Castle.DynamicProxy.* sub-namespaces, as most of them are intended for internal use only.
  • DynamicProxy's custom exception types have been replaced by standard BCL exceptions (where appropriate), and by a single DynamicProxyException type for internal DynamicProxy errors.
