All new versions are released on: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NsDepCop

NsDepCop 2.0.0

The big change in this version is that the implementation changed from MSBuild task + Visual Studio Extension to a standard Roslyn analyzer.

• NsDepCop must be added to a project as a NuGet package.
• Appears in Solution Explorer: project / Dependencies / Analyzers / NsDepCop.Analyzer
• Issue severities can be configured that same way as other analyzers (use Visual Studio or .editorconfig files).
• Works both at build time and inside Visual Studio editor.
• Requires Visual Studio 2019 (16.10.0 or later).
• Supports .NET Core / .NET 5 / etc. projects too.
• Uses Roslyn 3.9.0.

Stuff that was removed:

• No need for the NsDepCop Visual Studio Extension any more.
• No need for the out-of-process service host any more.
• Dropped support for VS 2015/2017. For those, use NsDepCop v1.11.0.
• Config attributes no longer supported (ignored): CodeIssueKind, MaxIssueCountSeverity, InfoImportance, AnalyzerServiceCallRetryTimeSpans.

Other info:

• AutoLowerMaxIssueCount feature is temporarily not supported.

• The Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) requires 15.7.4 or higher.

NsDepCop 1.7.1
