@eerhardt 6.x will be maintained for some time but not for long (probably up to six months at most). However, this is open source software, so as long as you and other 6.x users are willing to maintain it and work on backports, this period can be longer but a small team generally cannot afford to maintain several majors for years. |

Do you have any idea when 7.0 goes "stable" / "GA"? is it sometime this year? |

I'm hoping for mid-May 🤞 I will have a new alpha release soon, maybe today. The more that people test alpha releases, the sooner I get the RCs out! |

Thanks @lukebakken. As I figured, the API breaking changes in v7 will cause us to need to rev our package. I opened dotnet/aspire#3956 to track handling these breaking changes in .NET Aspire. |
