This pull request streamlines the dependency management for the TileDB.Native package by removing its upper version constraint. The primary goal is to facilitate a more agile integration of new TileDB.Native releases into TileDB.CSharp, ensuring that the project can leverage the latest native library features and fixes without requiring a synchronous release cycle for the C# wrapper.

Highlights

Code Review

This pull request aims to remove the upper version bound for the TileDB.Native package dependency to allow for faster adoption of new native library versions. However, the current change pins the dependency to the exact version 2.30.0, which is contrary to the intended goal. My review includes a critical comment with a suggested fix to use a floating version range [2.30.0,), which correctly removes the upper bound and will allow consumers to use any version from 2.30.0 onwards.

The current change pins the TileDB.Native package version to exactly 2.30.0. This contradicts the pull request's stated goal to "remove [the] upper bound" and "enable faster acquisition of new TileDB.Native versions". Pinning the version will prevent consumers from automatically picking up new releases.

To correctly remove the upper bound and allow any new version starting from 2.30.0, you should use the NuGet version range [2.30.0,).
