PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hello, everybody!

As of today, PDFsharp 6.1.0 preview 3 is available.

You can find the source code on github.com:
https://github.com/empira/PDFsharp

You can find binaries (assemblies) on NuGet.

Note: On NuGet there are Core, GDI, and WPF packages.

The six new preview NuGet packages:

• PDFsharp & MigraDoc Core: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PDFsharp ... -preview-3

All packages target .NET 6 and can also be used with .NET 7 or .NET 8.
The Core packages also target .NET Standard 2.0 and should work with all compatible platforms including Windows and Linux.
The GDI and WPF packages also target .NET 4.7.2 and should also work with higher versions like 4.8.1, but depend on Windows.

Samples can be found on GitHub:
