WGet.NET 4.0.0

Changelog

Version 4.0 is intended as a “health” update for the library and therefore includes changes to the structure, classes and functions.
This includes breaking changes to the usage of the library.

But fear not, no functionality is lost and all breaking changes are documented and provide information on how to change the implementation.

You can find the full migration documentation here.

This was done to improve maintainability and the experience of using the library, by improving the data structure, removing redundant or useless functions and making the implementation more consistent.
