Version 4.11.2 release

I am pleased to announce the release of CSLA .NET version 4.11.2.

This is a bug fix release from 4.11.1.

🛑 🔐 Security warning: This version of CSLA .NET allows the use of WcfProxy. WcfProxy uses the NetDataContractSerializer (NDCS) which has known vulnerabilities that can allow remote execution of code during deserialization. NDCS itself is considered obsolete, and you should avoid using WcfProxy or upgrade to CSLA 6 or higher where this issue does not exist.
