Announcement

We're excited to announce the release of Cake.Sdk 5.0.25257.82-beta, a minor preview release that brings improvements to performance, the debugging experience, and native .NET CLI publish support.

The biggest improvement in this release is that dotnet publish now works with Cake.Sdk. This means you can now create self-contained precompiled binaries and containers, which can provide substantial performance gains when the same code is executed multiple times across different stages.

A new preview version of Cake.Sdk has been released! Version 5.0.25253.70-beta brings compatibility with .NET 10 RC1 and introduces powerful new features for modular build script organization. 🚀 🍰

A new preview version of Cake.Sdk has been released! Version 5.0.25225.53-beta brings compatibility with .NET 10 Preview 7. 🚀 🍰

We're excited to announce the preview of Cake.Sdk, a new way to get the Cake tool scripting experience in regular .NET console applications! This brings you the stellar experience of the new "dotnet run app.cs" feature (requires .NET 10), while also working seamlessly with .NET 8 and 9 for regular csproj projects. 🚀 🍰

Here's the minimal example:

After weeks of internal testing and development, we're now expanding the beta for public feedback and contribution. While this is still in early stages, we want to gather early feedback from the community and plan to be ready when .NET 10 launches in November.

We are thrilled to announce that Cake.Tool has reached an incredible milestone of 50 million downloads on NuGet.org! This accomplishment wouldn't have been possible without the contributions of over 300 individuals and the unwavering support of our users. Join us as we reflect on the journey of Cake, featuring 123 releases and over 300 third-party community add-ins.
