Is FSharp.Core 6.0.7 really the lowest dependency for FsUnit?

[abelbraaksma]

Description

In version 5.1.0 the F# Core dependency is >= 5.0.2, which is very convenient for a test library, as it allows seamless testing for a large variety of F# versions.

From version 5.2.0 this jumps to >= 6.0.7, which is a big leap and for a bunch of projects (mostly projects that need to use "lowest denominator", like NuGet packages and libs), this causes warnings like these

warning NU1605: Detected package downgrade: FSharp.Core from 6.0.7 to 6.0.3.

Repro steps

Repro is simple: create a lib that uses an older F# Core, then create a test project with FsUnit for it.

Expected behavior

Lowest possible dependency, as this library is widely used. While I understand that a bump to 6.x is necessary at some point (should perhaps be a major version upgrade?), for instance for using task, I would argue that 6.0.2 or thereabouts should be fine.

Actual behavior

See above.

Known workarounds

Use lower dependency, or force-reference F# Core to remove the warning.

Hi @abelbraaksma,
you're right. I didn't change back the FSharp.Core version as I dropped the net7.0 some updates ago.
I'll change this in the next days.

Thanks, let me know if I need to test anything for you, happy to help!

Hey @abelbraaksma,
this has been released in v5.3.1.

Thank you for your issue! 🙂
