.NET Framework Requirements

I see in some of the OpenTap project/nugget files that it is targetting the 4.6.2 framework. Is this required for portability or some other reason? Or can I target my project to the latest 4.8 framework? And if there is a portability issue, why not use .Net Core?

@Tim.Cyr It is related to supporting UI components (the .NET Framework vs .NET Standard part). The latest versions of the SDK do use .NET Core by default. And longer term our plan is to support .NET 5 which is intended to merge Core and Framework. That release got delayed however and depending on how long that delay is we may need to re-evaluate our plan. Some discussion on that already here:
