Our NuGet total downloads reached 2M!

We have finally reached 2 million downloads across all our NuGet packages, which consist of both the current and the past libraries that have been downloaded over the lifetime of our NuGet feed existence that started on August 2019. Thanks to everyone who have tried out our packages and used them in their applications!

This is a minor milestone, but we are aiming for major ones, such as 5 million downloads across all packages. To celebrate this milestone, we’re introducing brand new versions of libraries. This is to add new features and to improve existing ones.

Nitrocid 0.1.3 is going to have a major arrangement overhaul when it comes to the API, so we’re going to mark this by increasing the API version to v4.0 from v3.1 as it’s a huge breaking change. This will make sure that the Nitrocid application acts like a “launcher” for the core Nitrocid kernel, which, in turn, depends on the base kernel library. This is vaguely similar to how v0.0.20 was developed.

Textify will be updated to improve the RTL reverse performance by getting rid of the libicu library in favor of the more efficient method after this experiment proves successful. As always, we are aiming to change how we make experiments to make sure that they don’t hinder the final production code, but, sometimes, we’d release a version that includes such experiments to gather feedback.

We are going to try reducing the distribution size of Terminaux starting from v7.0, and Beta 3 will include this improvement to ensure that we reduce the download size, especially for future Nitrocid versions. We have already updated Terminaux 6.1.x to include this improvement, and docs have been already updated to reflect this change.

Finally, we are going to introduce some subtle changes to the CI system across all projects, as well as some more build system improvements that we’ve promised, to improve build times and to increase reliability. This applies to developers only.

Enjoy!

Try out the .NET 10.0 Alpha SDK!

.NET 9.0 was released on November 12th, 2024, to provide your applications with brand new features, such as ref struct in interfaces, performance improvements, and bug fixes related to several of the .NET components.

Not so long after, .NET 10.0 alpha builds were spotted in the main installer GitHub repository, which is public. The table shows the platform table with two releases: .NET 9.0 and the upcoming .NET 10.0, which is going to be another LTS release.

The upcoming version of .NET will provide you with several of nice features, as well as performance improvements and bug fixes. This .NET version is to be released on November 2025 to accommodate with the release schedule, as well as its first preview to be scheduled for February 2025.

If you have Visual Studio 17.13 or later (may change across preview releases), you can now try out the Alpha builds of .NET 10.0, which you can find in the above link. Here are the links to .NET 10.0:

• Windows 64-bit (installer, zip)
• Windows 32-bit (installer, zip)
• Windows ARM64 (installer, zip)
• Linux 64-bit (deb, rpm, tar, musl tar)
• Linux ARM32 (tar, musl tar)
• Linux ARM64 (tar, musl tar)
• macOS 64-bit (installer, tar)
• macOS ARM64 (installer, tar)

Please note that this software is in its alpha state and may contain features that may not make it to the final release. Use with care.

Enjoy!

@Kissaki @SmartmanApps More accurately, #netstandard is the bridge between #netfx and #dotnet. It was a cross-platform thing when #xamarin and #uwp were viable, but today it is really just a migration bridge.

We use it a lot in #cslanet for example, because we support everything from #netfx 4.6.2 onwards.

For most mainstream developers though, this is all just background noise.

@robert_p_king Nice! The first migration I worked on used the #MigrationAssistant to re-target. It was months before we even got things to compile again (and that's with test projects excluded) 😬

The second one, which is still in progress, is a totally new project + some #netstandard projects (shared contracts) that we are copying into and adjusting one by one, much like what you described. The plan is to use #YARP to slowly replace the existing app in production with the #net6 implementation.

Wie löst ihr das, wenn ein Managed Service Provider (MSP) - wie bei #NetStandard - gehackt wird und eure Cloud-Lösungen betroffen sind?
