Release notes containing XML special characters (specifically ampersands) would cause System.Xml.XmlException during package creation when the nuspec file was parsed. This fix ensures all release notes content is properly escaped using SecurityElement.Escape() before being added to the nuspec XML. For any content that remains invalid after escaping, it falls back to CDATA wrapping with proper handling of ]]> sequences. Added comprehensive unit tests that validate the escaping logic works correctly for all problematic content including XML chars, unicode, control characters, CDATA-like sequences, and very long content. Fixes #666
Previous approach used SecurityElement.Escape() which converted special characters like & to &, < to <, etc. This caused content to be altered when round-tripped through the package - users would see & instead of & in their release notes. CDATA treats all content as literal text, so no escaping is needed. Only special case is ]]> which terminates CDATA - split it into ]]]]><![CDATA[> to preserve the sequence. - Remove SecurityElement.Escape() from PackageBuilder.addMetadata() - Always wrap content in CDATA - Add unit tests verifying ]]> preservation and no double-escaping - Fixes #666
