Target Framework Filtering and a Pending Breaking Change

Andrew Stanton-Nurse
Andrew Stanton-Nurse

Have you ever seen this error before? Doesn't it make you want to yell and scream at NuGet, "Why did you just show it to me if I couldn't install it!?‽" Yeah, it makes us want to yell and scream too, so we decided to set about fixing it! Along with that, we've also discovered a bug we want to correct but unfortunately, it's a breaking change so we wanted to get your feedback and do it in NuGet 3.0. Target Framework Filtering in Search We are deploying a change to make the nuget.org Search API filter out packages (and versions of packages) that are incompatible with the framework your project targets.

Supporting Semantic Versioning 2.0.0

Jeff Handley
Jeff Handley

Updated Sept. 2015: Our roadmap and requirements have changed and we have yet to implement these features as of NuGet v3.2. We are tracking this issue on GitHub. Please track this issue to follow our progress. We adopted Semantic Versioning (SemVer) in NuGet 1.6. At the time, SemVer 1.0.0 was the current version of the spec. Adopting SemVer provided NuGet support of pre-release package versions. Since introducing SemVer support, SemVer has reached 2.0.0 and introduced some new features. There have been [a lot]() of requests for NuGet to support SemVer 2.0.0 so these features can be used. We've ...
