[Advance Notice] Notice of precautions associated with Next Design V3.1 update
THIS GUIDE IS INTENDED FOR DEVELOPERS OF EXTENSIONS FOR V3.0.
Thank you for your continued interest in Next Design.
This summer, we plan to release Next Design V3.1, an updated version of our next-generation system software design tool Next Design with improved sequence diagram and rich text operability.
We would like to inform you of the points to note when developing extensions for the V3.1 update prior to the release.
Please read the following information before preparing for the transition to extension development.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE ACTION EVEN IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE V3.0 WITHOUT UPDATING TO V3.1. PLEASE CHECK WITH US.
Preparing for Extension Development Transition
a) Those updating to V3.1
In V3.1, the platform of Next Design itself will change from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 6. Extensions developed for V3.0 must be migrated to .NET 6 if they are to continue to be used in V3.1.
Please see the next page for details.
b) Those who continue to develop extensions for V3.0
IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE EXTENSION DEVELOPMENT FOR V3.0 WITHOUT UPDATING TO V3.1, YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE YOUR EXTENSION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT SETTINGS. (NO CHANGE IS REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE USING EXTENSIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN BUILT.)
The following cases require a change in settings.
- Create a project using the following project template
- Next Design Extension Project Templates
- Next Design Extension (Extension Points) Project Template
- Create a project using the NDExt command
See the next page for details on changing settings.
