I was thinking about (per @mjpt777) to update the relevant wiki pages re. the new dependency post merge.
I didn't think about the README.md inside the csharp folder, and see no reason not to amend this commit to reflect that dependency as well..
As for .NET 4.5 as minimum I think its a fair limitation given that official support is practically non existent for anything below 4.5.2 on the one hand, and .NET Framework 4.5 was released on 15 August 2012 on the other hand.
This is especially true for a performance / latency oriented project like this where you practically get free perf boost just for moving to .NET Core.
In other words, to me, it seems reasonable to say optimal perf is on .NET Core, compat for whatever reason you might need it goes back to 2012.
