GetTargetFrameworkProperties and GetNearestTargetFramework removed from ProjectReference protocol

The GetTargetFrameworkProperties target and GetNearestTargetFramework task have been removed from the .NET SDK.

Version introduced

.NET SDK 6.0.100

Old behavior

The GetTargetFrameworkProperties target and the GetNearestTargetFramework task were available but not used. However, custom MSBuild logic could take a dependency on them.

New behavior

The GetTargetFrameworkProperties target and the GetNearestTargetFramework task no longer exist.

Reason for change

The GetTargetFrameworkProperties target and the GetNearestTargetFramework task were deprecated in MSBuild 15.5, and .NET 6 removes them completely.

Use GetTargetFrameworks instead. For more information, see Targets required to be referenceable.
