.NET 5.0 has been removed as a target as it has reach its end of life. However, if you are using .NET 5.0, the .NET Standard 2.1 target should continue working for you.
.NET 7.0 and .NET 8.0 have been added as a target.
Minor performance improvements.

This library now requires .NET Framework 4.6.1 or greater or .NET Standard 2.0 or greater.
.NET 5.0 was added as a target framework.
When decoding strings in a memory-mapped file, the reader no longer allocates a temporary byte[]. This significantly improves performance but requires the use of unsafe code.
FileAccessMode.MemoryMapped now works if the database path specified is a symbolic link to the actual database.

A FindAll method was added to the MaxMind.Db.Reader class. This returns an enumerator that enumerates over the MaxMind DB database. Pull request by Jeff Johnson. GitHub #47.
A CreateAsync static method was added to asynchronously created a MaxMind.Db.Reader object from database file. Pull request by David Warner. GitHub #44.
When deserializing to a class, you may now instruct the reader to set a constructor parameter to be the network associated with the record. To do this, use the Network attribute. The parameter must be of type MaxMind.Db.Network. GitHub #56.
As part of #44, the optimization to reduce allocations when loading from a seekable stream was removed. The optimization could cause poor performance in some instances and its behavior with regard to the stream position differed from the documented behavior.
