Release Notes

These release notes are a comprehensive list of changes from 2.6.5 to 2.6.6.

Core Framework

• We have back-ported (from v3) support for classes that derive from BeforeAfterTestAttribute to be able to be applied at assembly level (in addition to the current support at method and class level). Use the [assembly: MyBeforeAfterTest] syntax to add these, and they will be invoked before and after every test in the assembly. xunit/xunit#2334

Packaging

• We have fixed the NuGet packages so that we offer additional dependency groups, which should eliminate security warnings when using .NET Standard 2.0+, .NET Core 2.0+, and .NET 5+. These were caused by old packages from .NET Standard 1.1/.NET Core 1.0 which have been fixed in later platforms. xunit/xunit#2862
