I think it's time to embrace the update here. We'll need to publish a 5.x version alongside 4.x fixes since this is a major dep update.

It's nice to update the Newtonsoft.Json dependency, sadly not every tool supports it.
What is the minimum version to be able to install ReactJS.NET 5.1.1? Is it really 12.0.1 or is version 11.* supported as well?

[dustinsoftware]

Yeah it’s 12. You can use biding redirects to use an old version. If for some reason that doesn’t work, the recommended path is to clone the repo and build your own DLL pinned to an older version...

You might also be able to grab a built DLL from a PR build off of azure pipelines, it should show up in the successful checks details section of the PR
