DotPurple Change Logs

1.8.0.0 (Thursday, September 9, 2021 at 09:00 PM)

Changes:

  • Added solution template capabilities! Now the popular Boxed.Templates are usable again in DotPurple, since they create solutions now rather than just projects.
  • Added .NET CLI version to the home screen (and internally, we can now use this value to toggle on and off features, such as upcoming updates for .NET 6 in DotPurple v1.9!)
  • Updated dependencies
  • Note that in .NET 6+, the template packs page now only shows user-installed templates due to a change in the way the .NET CLI works. The .NET CLI no longer shows default template packs with `dotnet new --uninstall`.
  • Fixed an issue that broke templates that used integer field types
  • Fixed a few issues with .NET 6 compatibility! DotPurple should now be usable on .NET 6 preview 7+ (unless something changes in the course of the previews of course...)
  • Misc other fixes and changes

 

1.7.1.0 (Thursday, June 17, 2021 at 11:00 PM)

  • Allow copying settings from one profile to another in a more convenient way (auto-saves -- be careful!)
  • Fixed bug where 'Other' framework type (e.g. 'net5.0-windows') didn't work right
  • Fixed bug in newer versions of .NET 5 where project types didn't load on create project
  • Fixed bug where you couldn't copy profiles to projects that hadn't been loaded in this session of the app (might make loading the "Copy To..." dialog take a little longer to load)
  • Misc other fixes and changes
