ZDatabase is a library that brings additional functionalities for Entity Framework
ZDatabase ships assets for .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10, each against the matching EF Core major:
| Target framework | EF Core (minimum) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
net10.0 |
10.0.0 | LTS, supported until November 2028 |
net9.0 |
9.0.0 | STS, out of support since May 2026 |
net8.0 |
8.0.11 | LTS, out of support after November 2026 |
The EF Core versions above are floors, not pins: referencing a newer patch or minor of EF Core within the same major works as expected.
The net8.0 floor is 8.0.11 rather than 8.0.0 because EF Core 8.0.0 depends on a
Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory carrying a high severity advisory
(GHSA-qj66-m88j-hmgj).
The net9.0 and net8.0 targets exist for compatibility with applications that have not yet
moved to .NET 10. Both of those runtimes are at or near end of support, so new projects should
target net10.0.
