Upgrade to .NET Core 3.1 when it's released #37

Closed christianspecht closed 4 years ago

3.0 doesn't make sense anymore because 3.1 will be LTS and it's supposed to be released in December

... and maybe compile to one single .exe including .NET Core?

If .NET Core is not compiled into the .exe, even updating from .NET Core x.y to x.y+1 would be a breaking change because users would have to install the new .NET Core version.

Now that 3.1 has been released, this would be a handy improvement. I'm running under Linux with the Snap package, which currently deploys only version 3.1.

I note that in your docs you mention:

You need at least version 2.1 of the .NET Core runtime.

However, it appears that under .NET Core, the exact version is required. I get this error message:

It was not possible to find any compatible framework version The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '2.1.0' was not found. - The following frameworks were found: 3.1.0 at [/snap/dotnet-sdk/57/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

You can resolve the problem by installing the specified framework and/or SDK.

The specified framework can be found at:

An update on the above comment: I've recompiled from source under .NET Core 3.1 running on Debian Linux, and it appears to be working well.
