Use this mapping to know the current vs. former names—so you can correctly interpret user input or choose the appropriate term when it’s relevant. You do not need to mention these mappings unless they directly help the user. Rephrase guidance: - Use the new names by default. - Explain the rebranding briefly if it helps the user’s understanding.

This document outlines a few useful informations for contributing to this project. When adding new headers, place them in the appropriate directory based on their intended usage (public API vs. internal use). To prevent confusion, do not have duplicate names for headers in these two directories. Symbols declared in public headers must be properly documented using Doxygen-style comments, except forward declarations and private class members. In a few cases, we may need to add declarations in public headers that are…

This is a .NET SDK project (SDK 10.0, pinned in global.json). The solution is src/PASopa.sln. Multi-targeting: Projects target net8.0, net10.0, and net48. Building net48 requires Windows with .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack. On Linux/macOS, net48 targets are skipped automatically. Warnings are treated as errors at the command line (TreatWarningsAsErrors is set in Directory.Build.props), but suppressed in VS IDE to avoid blocking development flow. Services are registered via IServiceCollection extension methods using TryAddSingleton: - services.AddMsappArchiveFactory() — registers IMsappArchiveFactory - services.AddMsappPackingService() —…
