## Changes since 3.7 series
### Additions
* Added additional enum values to ``LinuxDistroBase``
* Added ``SteamOsAnalyzer`` class that extends ``LinuxOsAnalyzer`` class
* Added support for detecting SteamOS version
* Added support for detecting SteamDeck mode (e.g. Gaming Mode or Desktop Mode)
* Added Target Framework Moniker (TFM) detection
* Improved Runtime ID (RID) detection/generation
### Changes
* Re-licensed the library back to MIT License as the project originally was
* Optimised and Improved code performance in the library
* Fixed issues with FreeBSD Runtime ID Generation
* Moved WMI related code from WindowsAnalyzer to WMISearcher
* Moved Windows Registry code from WindowsAnalyzer to WinRegistrySearcher
* Moved TFM relatee code from the RuntimeIdentification class to TargetFrameworkIdentification class
* Renamed ``MacOSAnalyzer`` class to ``MacOsAnalyzer``
* Renamed ``FreeBSDAnalyzer`` class to ``FreeBsdAnalyzer``
* Renamed``PlatformIdentification`` class to ``PlatformKitIdentification``
* Deprecated some methods in PlatformKitIdentification - These will be removed in V5
* Added a missing case to a method in the RuntimeIdentification class for wasm - This now throws a PlatformNotSupported exception as this isn't supported for Runtime ID generation.
* Renamed some methods in Analyzer classes
* Deprecated some methods that will be removed in V5
* Moved ``NetworkCard`` to the PlatformKit namespace
### Removals
* Removed old debugging code
* Removed ``ConsoleHelper`` class
* Removed support for OS X 10.9 through 10.11 (10.9, 10.10, and 10.11.x) - MacOsAnalyzer will now return ``MacOsVersion.NotSupported`` when attempting to detect any of these versions.
* Removed support for macOS 10.12 "Sierra" - MacOsAnalyzer will now return ``MacOsVersion.NotSupported`` when attempting to detect this version.
* Removed support for Windows 7, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 - WindowsAnalyzer will now return ``WindowsVersion.NotSupported`` when attempting to detect any of these versions.
* Removed ``ProcessManager`` - RunProcess methods have been moved to ``ProcessRunner`` class, RunCommand methods have been moved to ``CommandRunner`` class, and the URL opening method has been moved to the ``UrlRunner`` class.
* Removed ``OSAnalyzer`` class - .NET Standard 2 users of PlatformKit have an additioanl dependency on ``PlatformKit.Extensions.OSDetection`` for Operating System Detection
