PlatformKit (formerly AluminiumCoreLib)

formerly AluminiumCoreLib

AluminiumCoreLib was designed to help programmers be more efficient when using C# by providing a library containing many things that programmers may need in their application.

About PlatformKit

PlatformKit is a re-focussing on making the library, written in C#, more lightweight and focussing specifically on dealing with Platform specific code, platform specific issues, and platform detection.

This is a Work In Progress and so some things may not work well or may not work at all.

This can be added to any .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core 3.1, or .NET 5 supported Application.

### Changes since 2.1.0
* Added support for detecting Linux Distribution Information in the the new ``OSAnalyzer`` class which is now stored in the ``LinuxDistributionInformation`` model class.
* Added support for detecting Linux Distribution Version in ``OSVersionAnalyzer`` - This relies on the new Linux Distribution Information being detected in the ``OSAnalyzer`` class.
* Changed arguments required for several ``ProcessManager`` process related methods.
* Added support for executing commands on Windows (either through using the Cmd method or Powershell method) and Linux - macOS is also technically supported but is untested and may not work well or at all.
* Moved RuntimeIdentification code to new ``RuntimeIdentification`` class.
* Added ``RuntimeIdentifier`` class to act as a model to hold information for some of the ``RuntimeIdentification`` class methods.
* Renamed ``DetectTFM`` and TFM related methods to use ``RuntimeIdentifier`` instead of TFM in the name of those methods.
* Removed deprecated ``Platform`` class - Please use the ``PlatformManager`` class instead.
* Deprecate code that is licensed under CC BY SA - This includes the suspend and resume functions for Windows.

### Known Issue(s):
* Windows version detection may fail to detect what version of Windows is running.
* There's no detection of Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server v1709, and Windows Server 2019 - The regular Windows version number of those versions will be detected or returned instead.
* As a result of Windows version detection sometimes failing, Generating Specific TFM can also sometimes fail - A possible workaround is creating a Try/Catch block to try to detect the Specific TFM and falling back to the Generic TFM if it fails.
