Gone are the days of XRM and CRM, welcome to the SDK aligning now with Power Platform and CDS.

The Packages

Microsoft.Powerplatform.Cds.Client
Effectively the Xrm Tooling library but instead of CrmServiceClient it is CdsServiceClient in a new namespace. Removes items that are specific to Dynamics 1st party apps, only contains items for “CDS naked”, i.e. no Dynamics 1st party like lead messages, case messages, etc.
