Existential.Net 1.2.0

The library for things that may or may not exist. Existential is a utility library that contains parameter validation methods, a Maybe monad, and more. It can be used to work effectively with nulls, to efficiently resolve Code Analysis issues CA1062 and CA2000, to help generate a hash code, and to convert the names of generic types into a familiar string representation.

    <releaseNotes>Multi-targetted to .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET 5.0.
Cryptographically random generation of hash codes introduced in .NET 5.0 version for greater security.
Marked Maybe&lt;T&gt; static method WithGuaranteedValue(T inValue) as obsolete (prefer WithKnownValue(T inKnownValue)).
Marked Maybe&lt;T&gt; method Or(Maybe&lt;T&gt; inAlternativeValue) as obsolete (prefer GetValueOrMaybe(Maybe&lt;T&gt; inAlternativeValue))
Marked Maybe&lt;T&gt; method Or(Func&lt;Maybe&lt;T&gt;&gt; inAlternativeValueFactory) as obsolete (prefer GetValueOrMaybe(Func&lt;Maybe&lt;T&gt;&gt; inAlternativeValueFactory))</releaseNotes>
