Filling Blank End-of-Support Dates for .NET Framework Versions After 4.6.2 with Parent OS End-of-Support Dates #294

Open Varorbc opened 1 day ago

Varorbc commented 1 day ago

Hey, I noticed that the end-of-support dates for .NET Framework versions after 4.6.2 are all blank. I checked the docs and found out that their support follows the lifecycle of the parent OS. So, can the page just use the end-of-support date of the parent OS to fill in those blanks?

Thanks for your feedback @Varorbc.

That is tricky because each OS has a different end-of-support date and new OS versions keep getting released that still include .NET Framework.

@jamshedd any thoughts on this? should we at least include some note on the column or download page to mention that? Maybe just a link to the official policy page at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/dotnet-framework?

I also noticed that https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/dotnet-framework is not up to date (e.g. it doesn't include latest Windows 11 versions past 22H2). Not sure who's responsible for updating that.
