We are discontinuing support for older versions of .NET

Starting from minor build 2024.1.8, FastReport is no longer supported .NET Core 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, .NET 5.

Supporting outdated versions of the framework was consuming a significant amount of team resources, delaying the development of new solutions. With the drop of older versions of .NET, we will be able to focus on supporting more current and up-to-date technologies.

With the upgrade of the minimum version, our WebReport will finally be able to take full advantage of DotNet 6. This will speed up the development of new features and highly improve the performance of projects.

The last stable build that still contains support for .NET Core 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, .NET 5 is FastReport .NET 2024.1.0. Starting from the minor build 2024.1.8, support for these platforms will be discontinued.
