Hi All, One last update.
Something had regressed in our new .net bindings where it used to work on Linux (something I blogged about years ago: https://themapguyde.blogspot.com/2018/07/introducing-new-experimental-bindings.html) but my current attempts to get a sample asp.net core app using these bindings to work on Linux have failed. I have deduced it to be something around passing strings from .net that used to work, but is now scrambling the first few characters for the C++ string that means something fundamental as initializing the web tier with a path to webconfig.ini will fail because the first few characters of that webconfig.ini path get scrambled. Experimental Linux support for the .net bindings was one of the features I had hoped to showcase for 4.0, but in light of this roadblock I am giving myself another week to try and solve it (I have a few ideas to try). If nothing pans out, then this experimental Linux support for the .net bindings will be parked for a future release and RC1 will be released. So one way or another, RC1 will be released sometime next week. - Jackie On Tue, 26 Aug 2025 at 00:22, Jackie Ng <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Another update. > > Just as I make a breakthrough on one item, another item conspires to set > me back! > > In this case, it's the API documentation effort.
