The original version of LIFTI was written in 2010 and hosted on CodePlex and evolved to become quite complicated, including automatic persistance to a backing file and support for distributed transactions.

Support for netstandard1.3 was added by directly porting it and stripping out incompatible parts, primarily to enable use in a personal UWP project Chordle. This became the beta version of the LIFTI package, and version 1.0.0 of the Lifti.Core package that was largely untouched for years.

This new version is a re-write in netstandard2 trying to re-focus on keeping it simple.
