Hi Lari, Thank you for your feedback and for raising these important points.
Target Frameworks: The release targets .NET Standard 2.0, which ensures compatibility with multiple .NET versions, including .NET 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0. You can review the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard?tabs=net-standard-2-0 and inspect the NuGet package https://nuget.info/packages/DotPulsar/3.5.0-rc.1. We decided to include .NET 9.0 to leverage its latest features and improvements while maintaining compatibility with older versions through .NET Standard 2.0. Reason for Including .NET 9.0: The decision to include .NET 9.0 was driven by its recent release and the significant performance and security enhancements it offers. We believe adopting .NET 9.0 will provide a better experience for our users. Validation Instructions: According to Homebrew’s formula page, .NET 9.0 appears to be the new default. However, I don’t have access to a Mac to confirm this directly. https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/dotnet-sdk#default I appreciate your patience and understanding. I hope these clarifications address your concerns and look forward to your reconsideration of the vote.
