Major release of version 2.0 is completely finished and contains polished existing and new API. All libraries in .NEXT family are upgraded. Migration guide for 1.x users is here. Please consider that this version is not fully backward compatible with 1.x.

Major version is here for the following reasons:

1. .NET Core 3.1 LTS is finally released
2. .NET Standard 2.1 contains a lot of new API required for optimizations. The most expected API is asynchronous methods in Stream class. These enhancements are necessary for evolution of .NEXT library. For instance, new DotNext.IO library could not be released without new .NET API.
3. ASP.NET Core 2.2 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Therefore, DotNext.AspNetCore.Cluster library of version 1.x relies on unmaintainable platform. Now it is based on ASP.NET Core 3.1 which has long-term support.

What is done in this release:

1. Quality-focused changes
   1. Removed trivial "one-liners" in DotNext library
   2. Reduced and unified API to work with unmanaged memory in DotNext.Unsafe library
   3. DotNext.AspNetCore.Cluster migrated to ASP.NET Core 3.1 LTS
   4. Increased test coverage and fixed bugs
   5. Additional optimizations of performance in Write-Ahead Log
   6. Fixed issue #4
   7. Introduced API for client interaction support described in Chapter 6 of Raft dissertation
   8. Migration to C# 8 and nullable reference types
2. New features
   1. Introduced DotNext.IO library with unified asynchronous API surface for .NET streams and I/O pipelines. This API provides high-level methods for encoding and decoding of data such as strings and blittable types. In other words, if you want to have BinaryReader or BinaryWriter for pipelines then welcome!
   2. Ability to obtain result of task asynchronously when its result type is not known at compile-time
   3. Fast hexadecimal string conversion to Span<byte> and vice versa

Raft users are strongly advised to migrate to this new version.
