.NET 5 support for dotnet core global tool

[editim]

Are there any plans to provide support for .NET 5 for roundhouse dotnet core global tool, before .NET Core 2.1 reaches EOL (August 21, 2021)?

Even a release to bump to Core 3.1 will get onto an LTS with support until the end of next year :)

What does this mean? Can we get a version that runs w/ later frameworks please? Never mind LTS.

My point was that even if moving to .Net 5 was a bridge too far for some reason getting a version onto Core3.1 would mean support in base AzDo images for another 18 months (resolving the Core 2.1 EOL issue).

I looked into upgrading and submitting a PR but ran into some issues I didn't know how to resolve so didn't get very far :(

Sorry about lack of feedback here. I have released v 1.3.0 today, upgrading to .NET core 3.1. Upgrading to .net 5 or 6 is a taller order, I'm afraid, due to a lot of legacy dependencies. I have some different options here, going forward. Happy to discuss them

FYI, @editim , grate, my/our built-from-scratch drop-in replacement (almost) for RoundhousE, is built on .NET 6 (rc2 at time of writing).

May be worth mentioning this on the homepage of this repo - I had to find this info by searching issues.
