PortableWebClient has added support for Grpc services, both Http/2 and Http/1.1(Grpc.Web). </p> <p>The core has also been decoupled to allow for alternate encryption providers to be used and for less bootstrap code to be needed when implementing in your code.</p> <p>We have changed the packaging of the classes and moved things arround to support both RESTfull web apis and Grpc services, so this is a breaking release.</p> <p><a
