{{Quickfixn}} FIX 5.0 Message received with a heartbeat message at the end?

[Grant Birchmeier]

Unless you are doing something advanced and/or weird, you shouldn't see
much of an interface change.

Instead of a single all-in-1 dll, we spit them into the Core, and
FIX-version-specific message libs.  So everyone needs the Core, and FIX5
users need the FIXT lib and the appropriate FIX50 lib (e.g. 50, SP1, or
SP2).

Oh, an important note:  At 1.10, there are a bunch of functions marked as
deprecated.  It's all stuff that I either eliminated, renamed, or wanted to
privatize.  In 1.11, I got rid of them.  IIRC, none of them are things that
developers should normally use.  But to be safe, maybe upgrade to 1.10
first, then check your compile logs to see if it's flagging any
deprecations in your code.  The deprecation messages should indicate what
changes are needed.  When you fixed them all, proceed to 1.11.2.

Also: 1.11+ was moved to .NET 6, which isn't even that new so I would hope
you'll be fine with that, haha.

I tried to put pertinent breakage info in the release notes:
https://github.com/connamara/quickfixn/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md
(As you can see, 1.12 is going to be more disruptive than usual!)

If you need any help, please send more questions to the list!
