The C# packages of the Godot open source game engine are moving to .NET 8 with the release of Godot 4.4. This means projects must target .NET 8 or newer to be compatible. Existing projects will auto-upgrade to .NET 8. Older versions of Godot will continue to target .NET 6.

Should I put my Blazor components in the server project, or the client project?

#blazor #aspnetcore #dotnet #dotnet8 #webdev #csharp
https://jonhilton.net/client-or-server-project-for-components/

when #dotnet8 was released they broke #watch for anything but run. you could no longer dotnet watch test to continuously run your tests. quite an incredible fuckup, in my opinion.

we reported the bug, and saw a fix made to the sdk - and impatiently waited for the next update (monthly)

i just checked the release that came out this week https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/8.0.1/8.0.1.md

nope. not fixed. incredible!
