Version 4.0.0 of Cake has been released. Take it for a spin and give us feedback on our discussion board.
This release includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes to both Cake Scripting and Cake Frosting since the Cake v3.2.0 release! 🚀 🍰
Highlights of this release
- .NET 8 support & C# 12 support
- Improved file APIs
- Addin recommended Cake version set to 4.0.0
.NET 8 Support & C# 12 Support
Cake now fully supports running on .NET 8, and with this C# 12, which means you can take advantage of the latest framework, runtime, and language improvements.
The supported platform matrix for Cake 4.0.0 will look like this:
Runner | .NET 8 | .NET 7 | .NET 6 |
---|---|---|---|
Cake .NET Tool | |||
Cake Frosting |
Breaking changes
IFile has added methods for setting timestamps (see #4132), while the interface has default implementations it can still break ABI which is why we've marked this change as breaking.
Addin recommended Cake version set to 4.0.0
We've now set the recommended version of Cake.Core for addins to target to 4.0.0.
This won't break the build, but you might see warnings like the one below when addins or modules are loaded.
The assembly 'Cake.Twitter, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
is referencing an older version of Cake.Core (3.0.0).
For best compatibility it should target Cake.Core version 4.0.0.
The recommended target framework monikers for addins are now
net8.0
net7.0
net6.0
