yes, you are right,

we are at
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/3.1

and can upgrade easily to latest version
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0

do we have any advantages from this?
one disadvantage is that everybody needs to install latest framework version, often the people don't want to

as soon as necessary we will switch

[blackcrack]

already installed.. i am more as 20 Years at the net..
since first release..

close this issue if you have updated.. i am gone..
have fun..

maybe we can folllow these steps to migrate to .NET 5
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/desktop/winforms/migration/?view=netdesktop-5.0&preserve-view=true

analyzer says 100% compatible
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/standard/analyzers/portability-analyzer

• Change solution to target framework .NET 5
• github pipeline workflow
• azure pipeline for github releases
• windows store package

[Hofknecht]

=> package Svg not compatible

changed to SkiaSharp.Svg

• looking for something to replace this package

[Hofknecht]

SkiaSharp should even support .Net 6, it think:
https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp

link to error:
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/nuget/reference/errors-and-warnings/nu1202

just adding the references like described here
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/standard/frameworks
e.g. to
<TargetFrameworks>net5.0-windows;netstandard1.3; netstandard2.0; portable-net45+win8+wp8+wpa81</TargetFrameworks>
leads to other errors and seems to be wrong way

netstandard1..2.1 should be included in net5.0-windows so i do not understand Nu1202 at the moment

[Hofknecht]

just saw that Svg new version contains Dependencies net5.0
so maybe we can try once more and see if there is any further blocker to switch to .NET 5

[Hofknecht]

is running now with .Net 6 with version 1.0.27.1
