Description

.NET 5.0 is released.

• Add support for it

 

Avro.codegen is working (as of now) on only the framework which it was built for (currently 3.1). Give multi framework support to Avro.codegen to support all LTS .Nett cores and the latest .Net 5.0.

This will allow Avro.codegen to be installed in any .Net Core LTS or .Net 5.0, SDK specific docker image. (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:3.1,  mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:2.1 or  mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0). "dotnet tool install" will select the  most appropiate framework supported by the environment or "dotnet tool install --framework FRAMEWORK" can be used to explicitly specify the required frameowrk version to be installed.

 

Currently  a custom docker image must be createad if avrogen is required, with .Net Core 3.1 support, just for supporting Avro.codegen.
