.Net 8 testing - OWS seens to be running fine

[miketoupin]

• All 12 projects have been migrated to .Net 8. In order to test this branch, you are required to install .Net SDK 8 : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

• Then, ensure you are using Visual Studio 2022 (only version supporting .Net 8)

• Under VSStudio 2022, under option, look for Preview features, then check Use Preview of the .Net SDK (requires restart).

• I also updated my Docker Desktop to the latest version to ensure I have the latest runtime with the latest OCI version.

• Part of this branch is MSSQL is now using the latest MSSQL 2022 image version and is also secured and using a UID of 1001 (mssqluser).

• logging.yml also been updated to use LS_JAVA_OPTS from 256m to 512m.

This branch needs to be tested thoroughly before a PR into Main.

Will have to wait until .Net 8 becomes a release version merging to Release Candidates is not a good idea.

Completely agree,

This branch is only for testing purpose. Like I said to Dart, it is only to confirm there is no incompatibilities before moving to the next LTS, which will happens very soon.

Oke but the LTS is .Net 7 not 8 latest release was Sept 12 2023 so i would make more sense to switch to .Net 7 and do LTS updates as we have always done rather then to skip and to testing for an RC version where things can change and break before it even gets released, to me it doesn't make much sense, you generally don't test against RC versions, testing against the current LTS and upgrade would make more sense.

But thats me.

.NET7 Never been LTS and never will. Last LTS was .Net6 and next one is .Net8. .Net7 is an STS.

Don't use the .Net8 if you don't need it, on my side I have no choice to use .Net8 as this is the only way to ensure containers are not running as root, this is one of the feature of .Net8 and Ubuntu/Alpine. It is possible with 7, but not as well integrated.

I mean the Latest Release, not LTS yeah, will have to wait for the release i believe it's the end of the month or the beginning of November should be around that time.

I don't use it so it doesn't really matter to me if it's .Net 4 or 9 but if you working towards something stable using things in preview or rc generally just not a good idea, will have to see once it gets released

[SloppyShovel]

It's not on the main branch i'm just saying once it becomes a release version we can test it and merge it :)
