My migration experience from ASP.NET Core 2.2 to 3.1, Part 1: Introduction

Why I skipped ASP.NET Core 3.0 ?

I have waited for ASP.NET Core 3.1 and .NET Core 3.1 before migrating for severals simple reasons:

As you may know ASP.NET Core 3.0 and .NET 3.0 have been released in September 2019 and their respective 3.1 version on December 2019.

I did not want to migrate twice in 3 months but it’s not the most important thing, migrate to version 3.0 was useless because there is no long time support for .NET 3.0, for .NET Core 3.1, that’s the case.

Unlike .NET Core 2.1 (LTS), .NET Core 2.2 a Long Time Support, so it was the occasion to migrate to a LTS version of .NET Core

Here is a summary of each version and their support by Microsoft:

Version Release date Support level End of support
.NET Core 3.1 12-03-2019 LTS 12-03-2022
.NET Core 3.0 09-23-2019 STS 03-03-2020
.NET Core 2.2 12-04-2018 STS 12-23-2019
.NET Core 2.1 05-30-2018 LTS 08-21-2021
