Dynamo to target .NET 5 anytime soon?

Hi Dynamo developers,

I was wondering if the Dynamo team is considering upgrading to .NET 5 framework in the future?

If so, is there anything that developers will need to know if that ever happens? With regards to updating packages from Framework 4.8 to .NET 5 I mean. Or would that be backwards compatible?

Thanks!
Michael

I’ve checked with development to see if there is any timeline, but likely this will be driven by the host applications.

As far as I know the most impacted aspects will all be the zero touch nodes which interact with the host application, and many of those will be minimal. I recommend getting involved with the Revit (or Civil, Advanced Steel, Alias, FormIt, etc.) beta, as this will be the best way to get a heads up on the change, and will give you the best insight on the impact.
