.NET 5.0

Is there any plans on moving forward to net5.0 as a supported target platform now that .NET 5.0 has been released? If so, do you need any help with that effort?

Hi Maknus,

I actually missed the info that net5.0 was already released as I am a bit side tracked with other things at the end of the year, so, yes any help would be really great and very welcome :-)

I understand net5.0 replaces netcore, right? So, we would have to change the project to produce:

• Net4.0 (which was the original framework target) and
• Net5.0

right?

If thats about correct:

1. Can you tell me what I need locally besides VS 2019 Community Edition to get net5.0 compilled?
2. would you be able to prepare a PR with the new target?

I would then:

1. Release the current master branch to NuGet
2. Merge the PR and prepare a new NuGet from this as such re-factorings are usually a big change in itself...

Does that sound like a good plan?

That sound about right. I'll give it a go and hopefully the upgrade from .netcoreapp3.x is smooth.

You will need VS 2019 16.8.x (think 16.8.2 is the latest right now) and it should be available if you launch VS Installer.
