.NET 5 or 6 instead of .NET Framework?

[parched]

Would it be possible to target .NET 5 or 6 instead of .NET Framework?

We're investigating using BHoM and one of our requirements is to run the code on Linux. We could probably use the mono runtime just for the upgrader, but it would be nice if that wasn't necessary.

EDIT: I now understand this is an exe not a class library so can't target .NET Standard, so it would have to be .NET 5 or 6.

Hi @parched ,

It is worth having a look at this thread if you haven't already: BHoM/BHoM#1263

That being said, the versioning toolkit is a bit of a different beast. Being a self contained executable, it makes it easier to experiment in making it a multi-platforms solution. I cannot promise a specific timeline but this is something we would be interested in doing. As always, we welcome external collaboration so don't hesitate to have a go yourself if you don't want to wait for us.

Ah yes I did see that after I posted this. I think it should be possible to target .NET and .NET Framework, I'll do some experimenting and submit a PR if I'm successful.
