Rhino 8 for Mac - .NET 8

Are there plans to support .NET 8 for Rhino 8 for Mac?

You can use .NET 8 for Rhino if you really need to. You can include net8.0 in yaks and they’ll load if Rhino is running net8.0 and it should load net7.0 plugins as well. (to the best of my knowledge).

Is there something you need that isn’t currently possible?

Yep we are delivering the ShapeDiver plugin for Windows using this approach. Our yak package includes net48, net7.0-windows, and net8.0-windows.

My question was related to the version of .NET used by Rhino 8 for Mac. Currently that’s .NET 7 only, and I was wondering about the plans to support .NET 8.

There are plans to upgrade Rhino 8 to net8.0, although I can’t guarantee which version it’ll be :slight_smile:

Thanks for the insight! There are so many packages right now that start with net 8. It would be really great for us to develop plugins that have to depend on those packages.
