Roadmap
Workflow Engine packages use netstandard2.0,
and Workflow Engine Oracle provider uses netstandard2.1 as the
Target Framework. Workflow Engine supports the following .NET releases:
- .NET 6 (LTS).
- .NET 8 (LTS).
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 (except provider for the Oracle Database).
The Workflow Engine team constantly makes sure that Workflow Engine is compatible with the minimum supported version of the .NET (LTS version)/.NET Framework.
For more information on packages and versions you can visit this page.
The Workflow Engine team does not support versions of the .NET/.NET Framework that Microsoft no longer supports (although the product may work correctly).
The Workflow Engine team constantly makes sure that Workflow Engine (NuGet) and Workflow Designer (NPM) packages are updated and do not contain vulnerable dependencies. The team tries to update vulnerable packages as quickly as possible if patches are available for those packages.
The team periodically updates Workflow Designer packages to work with the latest versions of React and Angular.
If you want to add a feature to our roadmap - please open an issue in our GitHub repository.
