.NET 10: ... is it really needed?

[ilgrank]

@Rem0o : Thanks for the release!
Just out of curiosity, is there a practical advantage in switching from .NET8 to .NET10? I mean, if none of the fuctionalities explicitly requires .NET10 (or 9,), would't be easier to just target more commonly installed version of the framework, instead of requiring everyone to install a new version of the .NET framework just to run the newest release of FanControl?
Disclaimer: It's really just curiosity, no intent to argue on the matter.
Thanks :)

From a development POV you got to keep up at some point, as .NET 8 will get phased out completely. So my strategy is to always stay up to date for easier maintenance down the road and more flexibility if need be and compatibility. I also keep a .NET framework 4.8 build going for folks who don't want to deal with any of the new .NET runtime stuff.

So either you go with the .NET 4.8 build and never have to worry about .NET, or you want to be on the bleeding edge and you keep up with the latest runtimes.

Do we have to make a new install or can we just copy/paste the new .NET10 version over .NET8?

[Rem0o]

It will update over it. In fact if you hit update right now from a .NET 8 installation, it will overwrite it with the .NET 10 version. It will prompt you to install .NET 10 if you don't have it already. It's should be pretty straight forward and seamless.

Great news. Thx for the quick answer!!!
For me it talked about net 10 but It seems to be "Version: 248 (NET 8.0)".
Maybe next update

Hi
Thanks for kind your answer.
I was not arguing: as stated, it was just a curiosity about a design choice that I did not undestand, and now I know the reason behind your choice.. thanks :)

I'm still getting issues with sensors not working when I update to 248 from 245. 245 works fine. The update for 248 says to "Update LibreHardwareMonitorLib and Update .NET 8 to .NET 10." I installed .NET 10 runtime. Is this update supposed to install the latest LibreHardwareMonitorLib itself, or do I need to find and update that?

But yeah, when I let this update, it just simply doesn't work with my CPU sensors (throws off the error "The following sensors are missing /lpc/nct6701d/temperature/22"), and I also can't uninstall FanControl with the latest update, as it gives a runtime error when I try to:

Internal error: Cannot call "WIZARDSILENT" function during Uninstall.

Something you changed after 247 broke FanControl for me.
