* Fixed the .NET 5.0 build to include .NET 5.0-specific features. Previous releases incorrectly used #if NET50 instead of #if NET5_0. (issue #1140)
* Added support for NETStandard 2.1. (issue #1181)
* .NETStandard 2.1 and .NET 5.0 versions of MailKit now use the newer SslStream.AuthenticateAsClientAsync() methods that take SslClientAuthenticationOptions and CancellationToken arguments. In theory, this should make upgrading a TCP/IP connection to SSL/TLS cancellable. Older .NET frameworks remain uncancellable for this operation.
* Fixed a NullReferenceException bug in the NTLM SASL mechanism logic.
* Updated hard-coded SSL certificate serial numbers and fingerprints for common mail servers.

API Changes Since 2.0.x:

* Obsoleted SearchQuery.HasCustomFlags() and SearchQuery.DoesNotHaveCustomFlags(). These are now SearchQuery.HasKeywords() and SearchQuery.NotKeywords(), respectively.
* Obsoleted SearchQuery.DoesNotHaveFlags() in favor of SearchQuery.NotFlags().
* Obsoleted the IMessageSummary.UserFlags property in favor of IMessageSummary.Keywords.
* Obsoleted the MessageFlagsChangedEventArgs.UserFlags property in favor of MessageFlagsChangedEventArgs.Keywords.
* All IMailFolder.Fetch and IMailFolder.FetchAsync methods that took a HashSet<string> userFlags argument now take an IEnumerable<string> keywords argument. Note: this only affects you if your code used named method parameters (e.g. userFlags: myUserFlags).

Note to users upgrading from MailKit 1.x:

In order to authenticate using the XOAUTH2 SASL mechanism, you must now use the following approach:

client.Authenticate (new SaslMechanismOAuth2 (username, auth_token));
