    AOP Roslyn

    1

    DO think about how your library will be used. What effect will breaking changes have on applications and libraries that use it?

    2

    DO minimize breaking changes when developing a low-level .NET library.

    3

    CONSIDER publishing a major rewrite of a library as a new NuGet package.

    4

    CONSIDER leaving new features off by default, if they affect existing users, and let developers opt in to the feature with a setting.

    5

    DO NOT change an assembly name.

    6

    DO NOT add, remove, or change the strong naming key.

    7

    CONSIDER using abstract base classes instead of interfaces.

    8

    CONSIDER placing the ObsoleteAttribute on types and members that you intend to remove. The attribute should have instructions for updating code to no longer use the obsolete API.

    9

    CONSIDER keeping types and methods with the ObsoleteAttribute indefinitely in low and middle-level libraries.

    Unfortunately, AOP Roslyn is not in the stage of breaking changes. But I have had another library, Exporter, and I have had made  3:  CONSIDER publishing a major rewrite of a library as a new NuGet package

    Nr

    Recomandation

    AOP Roslyn

    1

    CONSIDER using SemVer 2.0.0 to version your NuGet package.

    		 NO

    2

    DO use the NuGet package version in public documentation as it’s the version number that users will commonly see.

    		 Yes

    3

    DO include a pre-release suffix when releasing a non-stable package.

    		 No

    4

    CONSIDER only including a major version in the AssemblyVersion

    		 Yes

    5

    CONSIDER keeping the major version number of the AssemblyVersion and the NuGet package version in sync.

    		 Yes

    6

    DO NOT have a fixed AssemblyVersion

    		 Yes

    7

    CONSIDER including a continuous integration build number as the AssemblyFileVersion revision

    		 Not needed

    8

    AVOID setting the assembly informational version yourself.

    		 Yes

    For 1: I do not like SemVer. It is putting some pressure on the developer of the OpenSource. So I decide to follow Calendar versioning https://calver.org/ 

    For 2: Yes, it is normal.

    For 3: No, I do not like pore-release.

    For 4: Yes – the year is major

    For 5: Yes, done by CI process

    For 6: Yes, done by CI in Calendar Versioning

    For 7: NO. And , because of Calendar versioning, it is already done, if I do not publish 2 versions in the same day

    For 8: Do nothing – and it is done.

    1

    DO publish stable packages and pre-release packages you want community feedback on to NuGet.org.

    		 Done

    2

    CONSIDER publishing pre-release packages to a MyGet feed from a continuous integration build.

    		 No

    3

    For 3: Yes , I have already a build.bat to do this

    For 4: Yes.(NuGet allows only that now)

    For 5 : Yes

    For 6: Yes.
