Pull request overview
This PR removes the netstandard2.0 target framework from three Application Insights packages: Microsoft.ApplicationInsights, Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore, and Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WorkerService. This simplifies the build targets and indicates these packages will no longer support .NET Standard 2.0, requiring users to target .NET 8.0 or higher (or .NET Framework 4.6.2 for the base package).
Changes:
- Removed
netstandard2.0from target frameworks in three project files - Cleaned up conditional compilation directives and build configurations that referenced
netstandard2.0 - Updated CHANGELOG.md to document the removal
