Yey, we've got checkboxes on distributions that don't even have 5.0.0 yet (again) :D
(Please differentiate between proper support, and binary release only.)

hi @rbhanda

I set the version of the Microsoft package globally in the Directory.Build.props file, but I found that not all packages have released version 5.0.1.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Extensions.Logging/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Extensions.Localization/

All ms packages in 3.x have the same version. Has this rule changed in the 5.x version?

Thanks.

[rbhanda]

hi @maliming these packages were not updated with 5.0.1 Release. You can find a list of all updated nuget packages on 5.0.1 release notes

The early announcements for .NET 5 features (in https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-5/) included a feature "Java interoperability will be available on all platforms.", this doesn't seem to have made it in any way into .NET 5. Are there any plans to have it in .NET 6? For the .NET framework and Mono IKVM provided that Java interoperability.

Is there any timeline for a CentOS 8 release?

[RheaAyase]

@FIrgolitsch As a low priority bugfix 5.0.1 will be released with the January update, since it wasn't possible to build it from source until a few days ago, so there is a bit of catchup to do between 5.0.0 (released two days ago) and 5.0.1

Is there any timeline for a CentOS 8 release?

Builds were already done: https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=3232. Not sure when they go live.

Edit: i read the question wrong. Sorry.

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization 5.0.1 is broken,

Just including this in a project with no authorization causes it to fail on startup due to missing configuration.

Can't seem to be able to create ADO.NET Entity Data Model, is it not supported?

Step to recreate: Create C# Console Application with .NET 5.0 -> Add New Item -> Data -> ADO.NET Entity Data Model -> Error: "The project's target framework does not contain Entity Framework runtime assemblies."

Hi Team,

Previously, example with .NET Core 3.1 with every release all packages were updated like 3.1.1, 3.1.2 etc.,
We were including version like <AspNetVerion>3.1.10</AspNetVersion> in Directory.Build.props and use it every where.
We used to update it in one place and all packages were updated to the latest.

OrchidCore does something similar.

With .NET 5, is this changed? I see that only few packages were updated.

I would create an Azure support ticket for this, but it costs $30 for a support membership. .NET 5 (Early Access) web app Azure deployments via git are now failing. I was able to deploy .NET 5 web apps before this release. Here's some relevant logs, I can send the full logs to anyone interested, I'm not sure why it's referencing the previous SDK/runtime release in this message, but I don't hardcode the patch number anywhere in my project:

remote: D:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\sdk\5.0.100\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor\extensions\mvc-3-0\Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.Extensions.dll
remote:
remote: ...............
remote: It was not possible to find any compatible framework version
remote: The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '5.0.0' was not found.

@BhanuKorthiwada my team does something similar which makes it very easy to manage the dependencies. Having said that most of my projects arre still on netcoreapp3.1 since that is the latest lts version at the moment.
I came looking because for a POC I did not bother specifying target framework for it. I found that not all Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders were updated, is there a reason for this change?

Closing in favor of #5838
