+## across all interdependent cs packages
+
+## Wherever we have <Version>8.0.n</Version> replace it to <Version>8.1.0</Version>     where n >= 0 
+
+## Wherever we have <PackageReference Include="cloudscribe.Anything" Version="8.0.*" /> replace it to  <PackageReference Include="cloudscribe.Anything" Version="8.1.*" />

+## Wherever we have <PackageReference Include="cloudscribe.Anything" Version="8.0.n" /> replace it to  <PackageReference Include="cloudscribe.Anything" Version="8.1.0" />  where n >= 0
