[Advance Notice] Important Information Regarding the Next Design V3.1 Update
This notice is intended for those currently developing extensions for V3.0.
Thank you for using Next Design on a regular basis.
This summer, we are planning to release "Next Design V3.1," an updated version of the next-generation system and software design tool Next Design, which features improved usability for sequence diagrams and rich text.
Ahead of the release, we would like to provide advance notice regarding important points to consider when developing extensions for V3.1.
Please review the following information and prepare for the migration of your extension development.
Please note that action may also be required if you choose to continue using V3.0 without updating to V3.1. We kindly ask that you check the details.
Preparing for Extension Development Migration
a) For Users Upgrading to V3.1
In V3.1, the underlying platform for Next Design itself will change from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 6. If you wish to continue using extensions developed for V3.0 in V3.1, migrating to .NET 6 is required.
Please check the following page for details.
b) For those continuing extension development for V3.0
If you continue developing extensions for V3.0 without updating to V3.1, you will need to modify your extension development project settings. （No changes are necessary if you are using pre-built extensions as-is.）
Settings need to be changed in the following cases:
- Creating projects using the following project templates:
- Next Design Extension project template
- Next Design Extension (Extension Points) project template
- Creating projects using NDExt commands
Please check the following page for details on the configuration changes.
