Development Builds

There are pre-release packages available for development builds of main from a NuGet feed hosted in Azure DevOps. You can download the packages by adding the following package source to your list of feeds.

`https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dotnet/CoreWCF/_packaging/CoreWCF/nuget/v3/index.json`

If you are using a nuget.config file with only the default nuget.org package source, after adding the CoreWCF feed it would look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <clear />
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
    <add key="CoreWCF" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dotnet/CoreWCF/_packaging/CoreWCF/nuget/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>
