🚀 CycloneDX .NET v5.3.1 Release Notes

Known Issue: Performance Degradation

We’re aware of a performance problems introduced in v5.3.1 that can significantly increase execution time, most likely when scanning large .sln files. SBOM generation may take noticeably longer compared to previous versions. We're investigating the root cause and working on improvements for a future release.

✅ This has been fixed in v5.3.2

✨ Features

  • Analyzer Support for MSBuild-based project.assets.json Resolution – The CLI now supports analysis of MSBuild-based projects by resolving project.assets.json using MSBuild context. This improves compatibility with SDK-style projects. #952.

  • New --output-format Parameter (Replaces --json) – A new --output-format parameter has been added, allowing explicit selection of output format (json, xml, unsafejson, or auto).
    ⚠️ The previously used --json flag is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use --format json instead for the same behavior—with more flexibility.

  • CycloneDX Format v1.6.1 – BOMs are now generated using the CycloneDX 1.6.1 specification, ensuring compatibility with the latest schema and supporting new fields/features defined in the spec.
