   - Add the markdown file `Home.md` which will be automatically updated
     with the latest version before published to GitHub repository wiki.
 - Updated the prerequisites in the GitHub repository wiki (`Home.md`)
   that _Microsoft DNS Server_ is required on a node targeted by a resource,
   and that the DSC resources requires the [DnsServer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dnsserver)
   PowerShell module ([issue #37](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/37)).
 - Added the base class `ResourcePropertiesBase` to hold DSC properties that

   properties that must be passed as strings and then converted to `[System.TimeSpan]`.
 - Added new private function `Assert-TimeSpan` to help assert that a value
   provided in a resource can be converted to a `[System.TimeSpan]` and
   optionally evaluates so it is not below a minium value or over a maximum
   value.
 - Added `prefix.ps1` that is used to import dependent modules like _DscResource.Common_.

### Changed

- xDnsServer
 - BREAKING CHANGE: Set the minimum required PowerShell version to 5.0 to support classes used in the DnsRecordBase-derived resources.
 - Resolve style guideline violations for hashtables
 - Update pipeline files.
 - Renamed the default branch to `main` ([issue #131](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/131)).
 - Uses `PublishPipelineArtifact` in  _Azure Pipelines_ pipeline.
 - Unit tests are now run in PowerShell 7 in the _Azure Pipelines_
   pipeline ([issue #160](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/160)).
 - Merged the historic changelog into CHANGELOG.md ([issue #163](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/163)).
 - Only add required role in integration tests pipeline.
 - Updated the pipeline to use new deploy tasks.
 - Revert back to using the latest version of module Sampler for the pipeline ([issue #211](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/211)).
 - Fixed the sections in the GitHub issue and pull request templates to
   have a bit higher font size. This makes it easier to distinguish the
   section headers from the text.
- DnsRecordBase
 - Changed class to inherit properties from 'ResourcePropertiesBase`.
- xDnsRecordSrv
 - Now uses `[CimInstance]::new()` both in the resource code and the resource
   unit test to clone the existing DNS record instead of using the method
   `Clone()` that does not exist in PowerShell 7.
- xDnsServerSetting
 - BREAKING CHANGE: The mandatory parameter was replaced by the mandatory
   parameter `DnsServer`. This prevents the resource from being used twice
   in the same configuration using the same value for the parameter `DnsServer`
   ([issue #156](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/156)).
- xDnsServerDiagnostics
 - BREAKING CHANGE: The mandatory parameter was replaced by the mandatory
   parameter `DnsServer`. This prevents the resource from being used twice
   in the same configuration using the same value for the parameter `DnsServer`
   ([issue #157](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/157)).
- xDnsServerPrimaryZone
 - Now the property `Name` is always returned from `Get-TargetResource`
   since it is a `Key` property.
- xDnsServerForwarder
 - When providing an empty collection the resource will enforce that no
   forwarders are present.
- DnsRecordSrv
 - Changed logic for calculating the record's hostname

### Removed

- xDnsServer
 - BREAKING CHANGE: The DSC resource xDnsARecord was removed and are replaced
   by the DSC resource xDnsRecord.
 - Removing resource parameter information from README.md in favor of
   GitHub repository wiki.
 - Remove helper function `Remove-CommonParameter` in favor of the one in
   module _DscResource.Common_ ([issue #166](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/166)).
 - Remove helper function `ConvertTo-CimInstance` in favor of the one in
   module _DscResource.Common_ ([issue #167](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/167)).
 - Remove helper function `ConvertTo-HashTable` in favor of the one in
   module _DscResource.Common_ ([issue #168](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/168)).
- xDnServerSetting
 - BREAKING CHANGE: The properties `LogIPFilterList`, `LogFilePath`, `LogFileMaxSize`,
   and `EventLogLevel` have been removed. Use the resource _xDnsServerDiagnostics_
   with the properties `FilterIPAddressList`, `LogFilePath`, `MaxMBFileSize`,
   and `EventLogLevel` respectively to enforce these settings ([issue #190](https://github.com/dsccommunity/xDnsServer/issues/190)).
   This is done in preparation to support more settings through the cmdlet
   `Get-DnsServerSetting` for the resource _xDnServerSetting_, and these
   values are not available through that cmdlet.

### Fixed

- xDnsServer
 - Enable Unit Tests to be run locally.
 - Rename integr
