Support for .NET Framework 4.8

[divieurora]

What language and solver does this apply to?
C#, Linear Solver (Google OR-Tools)

Describe the problem you are trying to solve.
We are currently developing with .NET Framework 4.8. The latest OR-Tools releases not supporting .NET Framework 4.8. There was a previous ticket mentioning that support for .NET Framework 4.8 would be considered in a future release, but until now it seems not yet available.

Describe the solution you'd like
Clarification on which OR-Tools version is the latest that still supports .NET Framework 4.8. If possible, official confirmation whether future releases will restore compatibility, or if support for .NET Framework 4.8 has been permanently dropped.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Migrating the project to .NET 6/7, but this is not feasible in our current environment.
• Building OR-Tools manually from source with CMake, but compatibility issues remain for newer versions.

Additional context
We need to maintain .NET Framework 4.8 for legacy systems. Please confirm the last stable OR-Tools version that supports .NET Framework 4.8, and whether there is any roadmap for continued support.

just for confirmation on which platform are you willing to use net48 ? windows ?

Because for unix system I would use .NET 8 (LTS) instead since Microsoft do provide official support for all platforms
