ClassiCool Posted September 14 With MCGalaxy 1.9.5.0 seemingly around the corner, I wonder if official compilations will go full force with .NET 8 or if will stick to .NET Framework 4 for just a bit longer. With over 13 years between them, I feel like it's a good time to upgrade. Not only is .NET 8 cross platform, but it also comes with a much newer version of C# with more bearable syntax (for example, you'd no longer have to type in `{ get { return "blah blah blah"; } }` for getters, just `=> "blah blah blah";`).

HarmonyNetwork Posted September 14 MCGalaxy 1.9.5.0 is already out, so you'll probably have to wait until the next version update in a few years. Share this post Link to post

Well it's not in the Github releases and it's not a tag so I assume there'll still be a little bit more work on it. The "Release 1.9.5.0" commit was likely only for updating the version number, not the actual release. Share this post Link to post

It is possible to use newer C# syntax and libraries when running on the .NET Framework 4.0 runtime, although that is up to C# 7.0 and not anything newer. It is possible to compile and run MCGalaxy for .NET 8 and it will function mostly the same, albeit you have to manually set it up so that the compilation commands work, and even then a plugin or command might not properly reference .NET 8 assemblies and thus have to add //dotnetref Library.dll to the top of the plugin file along with the normal //reference LibraryFoo.dll lines you would use with .NET Framework. Also MCGalaxy 1.9.5.0 is out, it's just that Unk hasn't gotten to making a GitHub release. Edited September 14 by icanttellyou it's //reference, not //ref. silly me 1 Share this post Link to post
