Summary: Avrogen: Bump dependency versions
Key: AVRO-2981
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2981
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: csharp
Reporter: Brian Lachniet
Assignee: Brian Lachniet
Fix For: 1.11.0, 1.10.1
As described in [this
comment|https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/981#discussion_r525692847], we
prefer not to bump the dependency versions in libraries.
{quote}By updating the versions in our libraries, we require users of the
library to update to a version equal to or greater than the version we
reference. For example, if a user were to reference an older version of
Newtonsoft.Json, the would be forced to update to a newer version before they
could use a new version of the Avro library.
In short, we should only update the version of the dependencies in our
libraries if we absolutely must for functionality that we require. We leave it
up to the users of the library as to whether or not they want the latest and
greatest of a particularly dependency. We're only going to require the bare
minimum.{quote}
That said, we should still reference newer versions of dependencies in any
executables we ship so that the exe has the latest security updates. At this
time, Avrogen is the only exe we ship.
As part of this issue, we should:
* Update Avrogen dependencies
* Document are dependency update strategy for exe vs library in the
{{lang/cshpar/README.md}}
