No 8.0.0 release?

[seriouz]

I wonder if there is a 8.0.0 release of Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL?
.NET 8 released today with Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore 8.0.0.
Should i stay on 8.0.0-rc.2?

@seriouz 8.0.0 will be released in the next few days, hang tight.

[seriouz]

@roji Thanks for the quick response!

Will we be able to upgrade to .net 8 in a few days? This is forever 😄

roji is gonna make us all work Saturday morning by releasing 8.0.0 on Friday afternoon and baiting us to release right before the weekend. 😅

[testirme]

come on :) :)

[ryanlin1986]

That's promising ,the only external lib prevent us to upgrade to .Net8, come on!

[boukenka]

Same for my project

Come on guys, roji is working on this without us breathing down his neck. Plus, the main npgsql package isn't good to go just yet either.
Give them the time they need and they will give us a reliable release, as always.

Yes, and please also remember that this is not an official Microsoft project, so Shay is basically doing all this on the side for free and probably has to work on it in his spare time. Be more considerate.

I'm a little out of the loop so just wanted to ask if the EF7 native JSON support is going to make it to Npgsql 8.0 as was alluded to in the docs?

[roji]

@xamir82 yes.

[roji]

Thanks for your patience everyone, 8.0.0 is now out and avilable on nuget! Check out the release notes!

Thank you @roji for your hard work! Really appreciated! Now I can update my website to .NET 8 and start playing around with fluentui blazor 4.0!

Thanks you!!!

[sebastianbk]

Thank you so much, @roji! You're an absolute hero!

[AlexeiScherbakov]

Thanks!

[roji]

That's all! Note that for the lower-level Npgsql, @NinoFloris and @vonzshik are the ones to thank, not me!
