  1. This release adds support for xBRL-CSV reading, writing and conversion to/from xBRL-XML. As I only had EBA 3.2 material available for testing, it very likely won't work with other reports. This can be helped if get other material to test with (should include both formats for comparison)

  2. There is also a change to default functionality! By default, when loading an xBRL-XML instance, duplicate facts are removed! This can be changed with a parameter. Most important reason for this was that some of the test reports I use had duplicate facts, which made testing harder is they weren't removed. Also I figure the business case for wanting the duplicates is less common than needing them removed. I am open to discussion about this if needed.

  3. I am very likely going to create a new 2.x branch which will be based on .NET 6/7+ (ie. drop support for .NET Standard and .NET Framework) The 1.x version won't get new features or optimizations etc. (like xBRL-JSON support which I'm planning to start on)
    This is because the .NET Framework application this library was initially created for is nearing the end of its lifecycle, and with it the only application that I actually know that uses this library. One of the points of this library is that it is "standalone", doesn't have any dependencies. As .NET Standard doesn't have support for eg. System.Text.Json, this looks to be very limiting going forward. This change will also make life easier with linux, vscodium, and other tooling. Again I am open to discussion.
