Dotnet8

[andersjonsson]

also updated nuget packages

[thompson-tomo]

I don't see the benefit in removing net core 3.1, net 5/6. At the same time only marginal benefit of having net 7. I would propose we first merge in #1052

[andersjonsson]

I haven't had the time to work on this one for a while. Will probably resume work in a couple of weeks.
net core 3.1 and net 5 are already covered by targeting netstandard.
Agree about net 7 though. It's already out of support and I don't see a reason to keep it around

[thompson-tomo]

Looking at the dependency graph if you want to reduce target framework I would stick with net core 3 as otherwise u would be forcing all projects < net 8 to take on a deprecated dependencies.

does this works for you? we had some difficulties making this work

[HugoVG]

When will this be merged with the already merged pr's with a new nuget package?

[akshaybheda]

Had a question, any tentative timeline for the release?

[cime]

I've merged the origin/develop into @andersjonsson dotnet8 branch, and did some other changes.
Please take a look and feel free to take any changes back to this PR or I can open a new PR.

@andersjonsson Net 6 goes out of support in Nov, could we expect a release in oct for this?
