AsiBackbone 7.5.2 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-10-25

7.5.2 is a backward-compatible dependency maintenance patch for the stable 7.x package family. Package and file versions advance to 7.5.2 and 7.5.2.0; binary assembly identity remains 7.0.0.0.

Dependency maintenance

  • Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite, and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer advance from 10.0.13 to 10.0.14.
  • Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions, Microsoft.Extensions.Options, and System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs advance from 10.0.13 to 10.0.14.
  • Aspire.Hosting.AppHost advances from 13.6.2 to 13.6.4 for the optional Aspire sample. FsCheck advances from 3.5.0 to 3.6.0 for test tooling.
  • Affected lock files capture the updated dependency graph. Template fallback references use the 7.5.2 package family.

These updates were merged in #910 and #911.

Compatibility

No AsiBackbone source implementation, public signature, durable schema, canonical wire value, package ID, public namespace, target framework, documented default, or runtime decision logic changes in this patch. Consumer-visible Microsoft dependency minimums advance to 10.0.14 where declared by the adopted package. Review central version overrides and restore the consumer graph; dependency upgrades can affect behavior in the upstream libraries even when AsiBackbone's own implementation is unchanged.

Aspire hosting and FsCheck remain sample/test dependencies; they are not added to the stable runtime packages. The 7.5.0 trace-correlation APIs and the 7.5.1 signing guidance and host-enforcement evidence remain applicable.

Upgrade actions

  1. Update adopted AsiBackbone.* packages to 7.5.2 together.
  2. Review any centrally pinned Microsoft dependency versions against the new 10.0.14 minimums, then restore and inspect the resolved dependency graph.
  3. Rebuild with warnings enabled and run the consumer's integration tests, especially EF Core persistence and provider paths used by the host.

Consumers moving from 6.x must still complete the 6.x to 7.0 upgrade guide.

Release verification

Stable publication occurs only from the protected v7.5.2 tag after the release-preparation pull request is merged to main and required hosted checks pass on the release candidate. The date above is the planned release date; publication and hosted evidence must be verified separately.
