I'm still waiting for.NET 7

No more maintenance?

You have to do it yourself, this project is obviously dead.

.NET 6 is EOL and it would be nice to get some sort of communication or bulletin from the developers as to whether this project is dead and EOL as well. My understanding was that this project is used by Akka.NET and I see that project is still being maintained. I'm shocked that this project hasn't been updated to .NET 8 yet given it's being used actively.

.NET 7 is not an LTS so I can see why they wouldn't bother with that. However .NET 8 is LTS and .NET 6 is EOL now and this project appears to be ghosted.

Well looks like this project is really dead. I raised this issue on the Akka.NET project and they basically confirmed that they are planning to ditch DotNetty. Guess we have to start finding an alternative as well.

Akka.NET planned to ditch DotNetty a long time ago, since it’s no longer being maintained. I warned five years ago that the project is about to die. I was one of the contributors and had more contributions planned, but Nayato stopped responding to any messages. He just added three more commits after a year of silence and then completely disappeared. People tried to contact Microsoft, but all messages were ignored. There was speculation that Microsoft stopped using DotNetty internally for Azure and moved to Go for transport.

@nayato Can you provide any info?

[nayato]

I don't work on the project anymore.

Akka.net cannot meet my needs. Dotnetty is an asynchronous event driven network application framework, and its protocol extensibility meets my IoT platform project. I also extend and maintain a version of the branch myself to solve the problem of memory leakage caused by thread pool occupation, and extend protocols such as RTMP, SIP, RTSP, and httpflv
