Iso20022 Library Deployment The library was updated and deployed to Nuget package BeneficialStrategies.Iso20022.

Iso20022 Serialization Library Deployment The serialization library was deployed to Nuget package BeneficialStrategies.Iso20022.Serialization. The project itself included a test utility to serialize a single Customer Credit Transfer Initiation message and verify the XML generated passed XML schema validation against the appropriate XSD schema.
