Target Framework

This version of the SDK no longer supports NetStandard 2.0 . The following framework are supported:

• .NET 8.0
• NetStandard 2.1

Minor changes to classes

• Parameters.this[] has been removed in favor of a (future) use of this operator on the base, e.g. for dynamic access to elements. You can use the existing (and equivalent) GetSingle() instead.
• ReflectionHelper.IsTypedCollection(System.Type) has been renamed to ReflectionHelper.IsTypedList(System.Type) since checking against ICollection<T> is not sufficient anymore to determine whether an element's type is a List, so we check against IList<T> instead.
• The type of FhirEvaluationContext.TerminologyService has been changed from ITerminologyService to ICodeValidationTerminologyService. For most users, this should not be breaking.
• The WithResourceOverrides static method introduced in 5.10 is now an extension method (and will need to be called on an instance). This allows subclasses to inherit it without implementing it themselves.

Behavioural changes

• We have archived the Fhir.Metrics library. This means that Types/Quantity no longer supports UCUM unit conversion. Comparing units will now only succeed if the units are equivalent, at which point they are compared by value.
