Tentacle .NET version change
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
With the end of support for .NET Framework 4.5.2 and .NET Core 3.1, the Tentacle software is transitioning to .NET Framework 4.8 for its Windows installer and .NET 6 for all other applications, including the Windows Docker image. This change is necessary to ensure continued security updates and library support, with the plan to eventually move entirely to .NET 6. Users are advised to ensure their systems are compatible with the new frameworks, particularly those still using older versions of Windows, such as Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2. If upgrading is not possible, users should lock their Tentacle versions to maintain functionality. The full transition for the Windows installer to .NET 6 is expected by early to mid-2023, allowing users time to update their systems to compatible versions.
