Dependency on .net standard 2.1
Hi, Is the dependency on .net standard 2.1 and not 2.0 mandatory? My client project (Blazor) has a strong dependency on .net standard 2.0 and therefore cannot reference the DAL project containing the TemporalTables package. Thanks, Ury
Hi, The library relies entirely on Entity Framework Core 3.0 and requires using .net standard 2.1 library. It is described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/what-is-new/ef-core-3.0/breaking-changes#netstandard21
Thanks. Fortunately, this limitation was removed (at least for the time being) in .NET Core 3.1 (currently in prerelease). I tested it and it works. May I create a .NET Standard 2.0 / Core 3.1 fork?
@findulov Hi, thanks for this project, it's exactly what I was looking for but sadly am stuck on dotnetcore 3.1/nestandard 2.1 for at least another year and a half. Would you reconsider upgrading this project to dotnet 5 and instead switching it back to netstandard 2.1? The latest EF core (5.0.5 right now) has a dependency on netstandard 2.1, so the restriction to only support dotnet 5 is not really necessary and potentially reduces the amount of potential adopters for no gain.
I can create my own fork of course and do it there, but it's just so much easier to just use an already existing package.
Hi, thanks for using the library. I could update it but I haven't found available time to investigate the new netstandard 2.1 support in .NET 5.0 and I'm afraid not to break something by applying the changes.
It could take me a few days to get this done and if you need this immediately, feel free to fork it right now.
I understand your concerns, however according to the dotnet compatibility matrix (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard) both core 3.1 and 5.0 support netstandard 2.1 equally. I will use a fork for now and will switch to your nuget package if you decide to roll the switch back. Thanks!
