## Details
The technical conversion from old PCL to .NET Standard 2.0 is very simple and described [here](https://gist.github.com/yuv4ik/063a35fe3986e62d69aee2f0ed0607bf).
#### The conversion process is consist of:
* Creating a backup of `*.csproj`, `packages.config` & `/Properties` in `root/mutatio_backup`
* Generating new `*.csproj`
* All the packages from `packages.json` will be defined in new `*.csproj`
* Deleting of `*.csproj`, `packages.config` & `/Properties`
* Re-opening the solution
