Is this package still being worked on?

Like the title says, is this project still being worked on?

Asking as I read in other issues there will be a 2.x version, but I don't see any new commits

Yep, still here.

The next "big" thing are .NET 8 packages but there's no new major features in the pipeline, except the assembly unloading at some good opportunity.

We're using the framework daily and our current projects are kind of static at the moment, meaning the framework can do about everything we need currently so there is no hurry to add new features.

Ah thanks for the info - but what do you mean exactly with .NET 8 Packages? I tried googling but the term is a bit widely used 🤣

Currently Plugin Framework targets an older .NET version, .NET Framework Core 3.1. It works with .NET 7 and .NET 6 too, but the plan is to publish the actual .NET 8 packages for Plugin Framework when .NET 8 is released. Hope this helps.

Looking forward to it 👍

Thanks for sharing this library. I like the concept, but the project certainly gives the appearance of being dead. No new releases in almost 3 years is enough to scare everyone away. .NET 8 discussed on this thread, but now .NET 9 release looms.

Any updates @mikoskinen ?
I am soon starting to work on a new project and was about to create my own plugin based framework - it will be targeting dotNET 10 and multi-platform so Windows/MacOs/Linux/Android/iOS
