Saxon

The plot thickens...

Here are all of the copies of SaxonCS.dll that appear in the build directory.

This is what I find in saxoncs.11.4.0.nupkg.

./x/lib/net5.0/SaxonCS.dll: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64 Mono/.Net assembly, for MS Windows

So I've managed to build 32 bit DLLs, but the version that's being packaged for nuget is the 64 bit version.

But the 11.3 release DLL is a 32 bit DLL. And I can't immediately see why we got a different release this time.

In https://saxonica.plan.io/issues/5403#note-3 you seemed to describe how your 11.3 release/publish worked out fine and how you managed to avoid that the publish step rewrites the .nupkg as a 64bit dll.

Yes. I had that in my notes. I'm just trying to connect the dots on how I managed to build it wrong for 11.4 given that I thought I'd fixed that bug.

On Monday, I'll propose that we do an 11.4.1 to fix the problem.

I'm much more conflicted about the .NET 5 vs .NET 6 problem. I was going to propose that we publish both, but I doubt that's possible for the release on nuget.org for "SaxonCS". I expect we'd have to have a different artifact name and that's troublesome for different reasons. It's tempting to leave 11.x on .NET 5 and move to .NET 6 for 12.x except that I expect 12.x is still a ways off.
