Transition Caliburn.Micro.Core from profile based PCL to .Net Standard based PCL

[ItayPodhajcer]

At the moment, when a PCL project is changed from using profiles to using .Net Standard versions, the Caliburn.Micro.Core NuGet package cannot be added to it.
Probably caused by the package not being updated to the new package dependencies model.

Was hoping to leave this until the teams sorted out the whole project.json fiasco, but it looks like we may not.

[ItayPodhajcer]

Would be happy to PR this to help make it happen faster.
If the code is already profile based compatible (no #IF directives), then it's only a matter of targeting .Net Standard 1.4 or lower (to support UAP) and adding the relevant Microsoft packages (such as System.ComponentModel).

Just pushed the work on the dev/4.0.0 branch doing this transition for Caliburn.Micro.Core, still need to do Caliburn.Micro.Platform.Core.

[nigel-sampson]

We now have Caliburn.Micro.Core and Caliburn.Micro.Platform.Core targeting .NET Standard 1.0 (ensures we can still work 4.5).

Caliburn.Micro.Platform is now a multi-targeted project with the following frameworks netstandard1.4;net45;uap10.0;MonoAndroid10;Xamarin.iOS (where netstandard1.4 will be Xamarin.Forms).

This is definitely the first rough cut. There's some work to be done getting the samples working against these as well as the packaging story.

@nigel-sampson Any update on the nuget package release/pre-release date?

[nigel-sampson]

Not sure, I was loathe to distribute the new assemblies via nuget until we had the functionality changes 4.0.0.

But if people are keen we can do a 4.0.0-alpha with the knowledge that would be heavy breaking changes between that and 4.0.0-beta.

With the latest update to VisualStudio, we can't create PCL based projects with Xamarin.Forms. I think at least an Alpha version should be out there...

[nigel-sampson]

Good to know, I'll up the priority on a very early alpha. but will come with some heavy warnings that there will be breaking changes.
