 #### 4.0.0 - October 17 2017
-* Config parameter new passed to ``TypeProviderForNamespaces``, i.e. ``inherit TypeProviderForNamespaces(config)``

-* ``ProvidedLiteralField`` --> ``ProvidedField.Literal``
-* Bug fixes to context translation based on further testing

-* All type providers now use a ProvidedTypesContext, e.g.

-* Enables use as part of .NET Core execution of the F# compiler by extending TypeDelegator instead of Type. This needs to be more fully tested but repo itself now compiles as both .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Framework, and passes tests as both .NET CoreApp 2.0 and .NET Framework 4.6.1

-* Puts everything into one file ProvidedTypes.fs and ProvidedTypes.fsi. This file is large but this approach makes it very easy for people writing existing type providers to update (after accounting for changes in the ProvidedTypes API)
