monogame update

[ghost]

Hello

Monogame 3.8.1 is released recently.
Would it be possible to update monogame-aseprite so it works with 3.8.1?

Thank you

I'm interested too to know if the current version should work in MonoGame 3.8.1 or if an update of monogame-aseprite is needed.
Is anybody working on this?

Thank you

@monogame-girl I apologize for the delay, I will try to have this updated within the next day or so. Some context below on why this isn't updated yet.

I have been working to get this library updated for a bit now to support Aseprite 1.3-beta, but that update is not quite ready. I mention this because starting with that update and moving forward, MonoGame.Aseprite will only be targeting the current .NET version (6.0 as of this comment).

I had not counted on MG releasing the 3.8.1 update which also moves forward with targeting .NET 6.0 and as I mentioned, the new MonoGame.Aseprite update isn't quite ready for production use yet.

In the meantime, I can update the current version to target the MG 3.8.1 packages and .NET 6.0. This is going to require a a lot of editing, as I can't just flip the <TargetFramework> value to .NET 6.0 and call it a day. I need to update all the code to support having <Nullable> enabled so there are no compiler warnings from that.

Again, I do apologize for the delay.

Hi!

No problem! It's better to take your time and do it right then to hurry with a buggy release as result.
There is no hurry at all! I now use MG 3.8 until it's ready (and don't use .NET 6.0 features).

Will all old releases for MG 3.8 still stay on nuget? That would be very usefull for people not using latest MG (for some reason).

[AristurtleDev]

Yes, older releases will remain on NuGet. I wouldn't remove them if possible, but this is actually a fundamental principle of NuGet. Unless there is some extenuating circumstance such as copyright violations NuGet does not allow the removal of old versions of a package when new versions are released.
