Build 4064

[water01]

Running on w10/w11 and Synology NAS using .NET 8.0.11 all working fine.

I see that you now have to specify .NET 8 in the Winget Installer as .NET 9 is now the default. Will V4 be updated to use .NET 9 sometime in the future?

[HansR]

Is .Net9 downward compatible?

[water01]

No idea, but I bet Mark knows!

[ConligWX]

For all that is needed with CumulusMX I would have guessed v8.x would suffice as it is in Long Term Support.

I'm sure v9 will be backward compatible, but there maybe caveats to some OS's

[HansR]

I have 8.0.1 installed and I don't see any reason to upgrade unless Mark indicates it is required.

[water01]

According to MS .NET 8.0.11/10 contained security fixes for Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2024-38229 | .NET Remote Code Execution Vulnerability and also Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2024-43483 | .NET Denial of Service Vulnerability, so I would think it might be advisable to upgrade. Previous versions also had security patches.

On my Linux system I have the Microsoft repository and so when I update the system I get the latest available and so I am running dotnet 8.0.11 right now with no issues with CMX.

Interesting observation...
First release of CMX v4.3.0 b4063 zip had 82 downloads in 5 days.
Next release b4064 zip has had 256 downloads in just over 1 day.

Is this a sign of hesitation/apprehension on a new product or version update, until it has had a bit of extensive use?

Enjoy,
Paul

[water01]

Paul does that include all the Beta testers who had the pre-release 4063 as that could explain it?

[PaulMy]

No, I think that is only downloads from Github after Mark posts the link on the forum's Latest build distribution download.

There is usually a surge in downloads when A release is announced and slows down over time. So the more days, the less average per day after the initial surge.

Enjoy,
Paul

No idea if it is .NET 9 compatible, but lots of the MS components used for .NET 8 have now been released with a 9 version, so my guess its it may well be.

I'll be sticking with .NET 8 as that is the LTS release.

My excuse is inertia, plus the fact that the warning of a new build is below the fold so I rarely see it. Just downloaded 4064 - I assume I don't have download and install 4063 first.

[water01]

No you don't have to download 4063 first.
