6.0

Major changes:

Support Ahead-of-Time (AOT) builds without warnings
Support Nullable references
Support ReadOnlySpan to reduce memory allocations
LogFactory supports FlushAsync and IDisposableAsync
FileTarget removed support for ConcurrentWrites
FileTarget refactored file-archive-logic with ArchiveSuffixFormat

NLog v6 has reduced its footprint by extracting features into separate nuget-packages:

NLog.Targets.AtomicFile - ConcurrentWrites using atomic file-append from operating system API.
NLog.Targets.ConcurrentFile - Original FileTarget with ConcurrentWrites using global mutex from operating system API.
NLog.Targets.GZipFile - EnableArchiveFileCompression using GZipStream for writing GZip compressed log-files.
NLog.Targets.Mail - Depends on System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.
NLog.Targets.Network - Depends on TCP and UDP Network Socket, and adds support for Syslog and Graylog.
NLog.Targets.Trace - Depends on System.Diagnostics.TraceListener and System.Diagnostics.Trace.CorrelationManager.
NLog.Targets.WebService - Depends on System.Net.Http.HttpClient.
NLog.RegEx - Depends on System.Text.RegularExpressions which is a huge dependency for a logging library.
