Subject: Bouncy Castle c# v1.8 - NuGet?
Hello.
We have been using Bouncy Castle 1.7 in our C# project for a long time.
Integrated via NuGet. Now we see that Bouncy Castle C# v1.8 has been
released. But it seems in NuGet it has not been updated yet. It's still
at v1.7 there. However, there is some package called "Bouncy Castle PCL"
that is at version 1.8.1 already. What is the "PCL" package and how does
it differ from the "normal" Bouncy Castle? Will there be a "normal"
Bouncy Castle 1.8 package in NuGet anytime soon or is "PCL" the way to
go nowadays?
Actually I gave the "PCL" package a try, but it seems to be missing a
few classes we need, such as CryptoApiRandomGenerator as well as
DotNetUtilities. I don't know if this is due to "PCL" or a general
Bouncy Castle v1.8 issue. In fact, I had a look at the Bouncy Castle PCL
GitHub Repository and they *do* have these classes in the source tree.
It's just that the binary (from NuGet) seems to NOT have those. But we
won't be able to update without those classes, I think...
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Dan
