npgsql dropped net45 in 2019: #636 (comment)
Removing the #if NET45 code in MySqlConnector will simplify quite a few blocks of code; there are many special cases just for that TFM.
MySql.Data 8.0.30 still does have support for net452, which would allow it to support more platforms than MySqlConnector. However, MySqlConnector 2.1.12 should still be a great solution for anyone still developing for that platform.
