It seems GitHub Actions does not yet provide v6

[zcsizmadia]

I am not sure how the gitflow test will use the latest dotnet 6.0. I dont see any reference to specify to install any of the dotnet sdks into the gitflow. I am not sure what I am missing

[zcsizmadia]

Maybe we should have setup-dotnet added to the dotnet gitflow tests (https://github.com/actions/setup-dotnet)

[martin-g]

Either this or wait few days until GHA people add it to their images. I guess .NET is popular at GitHub :-)

[zcsizmadia]

Added the .NET SDK dependencies to the github actions. (suggested by https://blog.elmah.io/building-and-testing-on-multiple-net-versions-with-github-actions/). This seems more solid, to explicitly installing it, so we dont depend on SDKS included in the latest github ubuntu image. (Which I thought was a bare image anyway)

[martin-g]

No, it is not a bare image.
See the table at https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/#available-environments.
At the moment it is build 20211108.1

This suggests, that it is probably a good idea to install the .NET SDKs explicitly and not relying on the base image.

Hi, we are moving our projects to .net 6 and depend on Avro.Tools in some of them.
It's great to see you guys already working on the support for the new version.
Would be really nice to know if the support is coming any time soon?

[martin-g]

Thank you for the contribution, @zcsizmadia !

@martin-g Do you have an estimate when 1.11.1 would be released? We are using avrogen and would like to move to net6, but avrogen is holding us back.

[martin-g]

There are some new C# PRs which we have to review and merge. I guess we could start a new release later next week.
