API Client Library (.NET)

This version rolls back Newtonsoft.Json to version 8 for the API client library only. Engine itself still uses version 10 as required for our schema validation library.

For customers using both Engine's dll and the API client as part of the same application, they will need to force the use of version 10, to avoid version mismatch issues.

This can be done by adding the following to the web/app.config:

       <runtime>
            <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
                <dependentAssembly>
                    <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json"
                                      publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed"
                                      culture="neutral" />
                    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0"
                                     newVersion="10.0.0.0"/>
                </dependentAssembly>
            </assemblyBinding>
        </runtime>
