13.28 and .NET 10

[duerra]

I see another .NET runtime update is on the list for the v13.28 release.  Does this mean all our plugins are going to break again?  I can't live without a working version of Archive Cache Manager 😅

To be fair, I believe the only plugin that had issues with the .NET9 update back in v13.19 was Archive Cache Manager.

Also, there was an updated release (listed in the thread, not in the official 'Download') on the Archive Cache Manager thread just the other day that appears to be working.

Yeah, I track that thread.  That build is not likely targeted for the new runtime version, which is why I ask.  It is also effectively being vibe-hacked back into submission.  Those of us tracking that thread understand that the plugin is operating on desperate fumes right now due to the disappearance of @fraganator.  It needs a proper maintainer, preferably starting from the real code, and I'm not sure we're ever going to get it.

I don't use that plugin myself, but I did give @deathshakespeare's version some [limited] testing on LB V13.28-beta-1 and it appeared to work without issue.

I agree that 'vibe coding' is a bit sacrilege.  But for those end-users who just want a working plugin, that release seems to be a viable option.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the community rally to maintain what many of us consider to be a necessary and critical plugin, but it's also a bit unsustainable.
