StackExchange.Redis.StrongName in AspNetCore.SignalR.Redis is discontinued

[jlorek]

The package Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Redis (<= 1.1.5) references StackExchange.Redis.StrongName (1.2.6). This package was discontinued by StackExchange about 9 month ago in favour of StackExchange.Redis, which is now strong named by default (Azure/aspnet-redis-providers#107).

This reference causes problems when using other libraries, that already adopted the new StackExchange.Redis package. Other parts of AspNet Core seem to already have made transition to the new package. Any plans for the SignalR.Redis package?

Yes, we added a new package Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.StackExchangeRedis in ASP.NET Core 2.2 (and the upcoming 3.0 release). We had to add a new package rather than upgrading the existing package because the StackExchange.Redis package changed package IDs, which is a breaking change. The older Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Redis package is discontinued in 3.0.

The APIs your app uses should be identical between the two, but be aware that if any other packages in your app reference the older StackExchange.Redis.StrongName package you could have both loaded into the app.

See aspnet/Announcements#322 for details on this change.
