V7 Series Release!

[sungam3r]

So far all projects and CI/CD pipelines have been updated to use the latest-and-greatest .NET7. A lot of dependencies were changed to the latest versions, i.e. bumping major versions.

Pain points:

• UI projects, CI for UI does not call dotnet test
• Docker/K8S stuff - it all needs review
• KubernetesClient nuget package is very old - v4.0.26 (09.04.2021) vs 10.0.1 on nuget.org
• A lot of pending/abandoned PRs without feedback. Many of them look good and I would merge them before v7 release. Of course after resolving conflicts and review.

For now we can release preview versions of all packages listed in that repo and collect feedback.

This issue is pinned to take addition attention from community. ping @carlosrecuero @unaizorrilla

Comments are appreciated!

UPDATED:

• V7 is ready!
• Full list of changes starts here and it was too large that I had to split it into 5 parts. GitHub release/comment UI did not accept such huge value of text.

It will also be great to get proposals about what issues should be included in V7 milestone.

@carlosrecuero @unaizorrilla I looked through all the open PRs and asked their authors to update them pulling changes from master. Some of PRs have already passed review. Help in UI/docker/K8s stuff is appreciated.

All 7.0.0-preview packages have been published. Example - https://www.nuget.org/packages/AspNetCore.HealthChecks.UI/7.0.0-rc2.6

Are you gonna to upgrade version of Microsoft.Data.SqlClient to the newest stable version 5.1.0 in this release?
WhiteSource is rising vulnerability issue related to that dependency (lkurzyniec/netcore-boilerplate#100).

Any ETA for this one?

[sungam3r]

Nope. I'm not the "core repo maintainer" and I'm still waiting feedback. @carlosrecuero @CarlosLanderas and @unaizorrilla are. Honestly, I have not received feedback from them for that repo for a very long time. Techically I can make a release at any time - it's just 2 clicks to set release-all-7.0.0 tag.

Why didn't I make a release yet? See pain points in my initial comment. I do not use 100% of this repo. Actually I even do not know how it works, I have never tried to start UI bits, open dashboards, dive into databases integration, etc. I don’t know if everything works there after the changes made.
