Lifecycle status of the .NET Core Libraries built for .Net Framework 4.8 #98314
-
|
Hello, My organization is currently auditing the security compliance of our .Net Framework 4.8 applications, and we have noticed that some .NET Core libraries have not been updated for many years. The list of libraries we use:
Given that .Net Framework 4.8 currently has no end date for support according to this page, we seek clarity on the lifecycle status of these libraries, whether they are part of the dotnet/runtime repository and still supported, and if we can expect updates in case of critical issues. Thank you for your attention to this matter. |

They should still remain supported. 6.0 packages are built from 6.0 branch in this repo. Older packages are serviced at https://github.com/dotnet/maintenance-packages. There were no updates recently since there are no new features, nor critical bugs or security risks. @dotnet/area-infrastructure-libraries for more details. |

@huoyaoyuan Thank you for your answer. It is good to know that these libraries are supported and their source code is located at https://github.com/dotnet/maintenance-packages. I think it would be good to update these NuGet packages with Repository URL and Source Link. |

S.N.Vectors is still being migrated into that repo, you can see the active PR in that repo. I don't know whether the link on nuget.org can be updated without publishing a new version. |

@segor you can now find it in dotnet/maintenance-packages as well: https://github.com/dotnet/maintenance-packages/tree/main/src/System.Numerics.Vectors When you asked this question, I was in the process of migrating into that repo the source code of various packages that are still in support but whose source code was living inside branches that are already out of support. For reference, here's the progress status: dotnet/maintenance-packages#42 |
