.NET 6 support in SmartAssembly

• 
  Hi @henkt
  
  I'm afraid there's no news yet but please do keep an eye on the release notes.  
  
  I'll post here again once we have some more information.

  Same problem with a .net6 WPF application than the one reported here:
  

  https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/88509/support-for-net3-1-net5-net6-windows-forms-apps-available-when

  
  

  @Victoria W I hope you will have a version supporting .net6 very soon.

  
  

  It's a real problem that SmartAssembly is not supporting .net6 from day one (or even weeks before the RTM date) because of these reasons:

  
  

  * .net6 is the LTS version

  * .net5 is not an LTS version and end of support date planned for May 2022 is really soon
  

  
  

  It is already causing us problem on my project to not have .net6 support (and visibility) from SmartAssembly because that will probably force us to release a .net5 version just some weeks before end of support date from .net5 which is really not a good idea. We absolutely need to migrate to .net6 and each weeks of delay from SmartAssembly for .net6 support will make our job more difficult and hazardous.
  

  
  

  Please make an announcement on when you expect to deliver a version supporting .net6 so that projects could have some visibility. Because you're late, it would be good also to provide beta versions with .net6 support to let us start working on it...

  .NET 6 support needs to be a priority.

  It is inconceivable that there is still no support for .Net 6. Other software like .NET Reactor does already support .Net 6 since half November. So I couldn't wait any longer and switched to .NET Reactor v6.8.0.0 to protect my program much to my satisfaction.

  @Victoria W 1 month and a half since the RTM of .net6 (and only 5 months remaining before the end of support of .net5).
  
  Any news our public communication about .net6 support. We need some visibility for our project.
  

  
  

  The roadmap seems not have been updated since at least one year: https://www.red-gate.com/products/roadmap
  

  
  

  Today my company asked me if we need to renew our license and I don't know what to think about it because we asked multiple times for updates and we got no answers

  
  

  It seems like if we are talking to a brick wall. You need to be more transparent and communicate more.
  

  
  

  Could you please give us the information when we can expect a support of .net 6?

  @redseujac Indeed, there is an update. Good to know, I will give it a try...

  
  

  Even if the link of the release note is not working
  

  https://update.red-gate.com/updatecontrols/details.aspx?etc=-364479551&guid=d46f9e62-4b62-498e-9ad4-60a6f75a4143&update=4582

  and the release note page does not mention it: https://documentation.red-gate.com/sa/release-notes-and-other-versions

  
  

  So we don't know what is the content

  
  

  @Victoria W Could this be updated? It is worth also an announcement in the forum and unpin "v7.1 announcement" to replace it by last version. It seems that there is a lack of communication by RedGate on this product...

  Is there any update on the .NET 6 support? When can we expect it?

  @coraso I admit that's a shame how Red Gate is handling .net 6 support (without official communication or support) but version 8.1.0.4892 of Smart Assembly is working for us with .net 6 (we use it in production without problem).
