About

We are pleased to announce to you that we can now offer the support of .NET 8.
But that is not all, in this release, we are adopting support of several versions of the .NET framework through multitargeting.
The Ocelot distribution is now compatible with .NET 6, 7 and 8. 🎉

In the future, we will try to ensure the support of the .NET SDKs that are still actively maintained by the .NET team and community. Current .NET versions in support are the following: 6, 7, 8.

Technical info

As an ASP.NET Core app, now Ocelot targets net6.0, net7.0 and net8.0 frameworks. Starting with v21.0.0, the solution's code base supports Multitargeting as SDK-style projects. Find out more here: Target frameworks in SDK-style projects.

It should be easier for teams to move between (migrate to) .NET 6, 7 and 8 frameworks. Also, new features will be available for all .NET SDKs which we support via multitargeting.
