DEPRECATED RELEASE - PLEASE USE EITHER 3.15.5 OR 17.0.0 (OR HIGHER)

As part of this release we had 27 issues closed.

As part of this release we had 3 issues closed.

This release fixes a critical bug, which prevented the console runner from running after .NET 7.0 was installed.

NOTE: There is no 3.15.1 release because an erroneous release was uploaded to nuget.org a number of months back. That release is no longer listed but the version number is not available for reuse.

Bugs

• #1178 Running tests with nunit3-console version 3.15.0 generates empty log files
• #1193 Prevent Crash under .NET 7.0 in 3.15.1 build

Build
