ABP Framework & ABP Commercial 3.3.0 have been released today.

Since all the new features are already explained in details with the 3.3 RC Announcement Post, I will not repeat all the details again. Please read the RC post for new feature and changes you may need to do for your solution while upgrading to the version 3.3.

ABP UPDATE Command

ABP CLI provides a handy command to update all the ABP related NuGet and NPM packages in your solution with a single command:

About the Next Version: 4.0

The next version will be 4.0 and it will be mostly related to completing the Blazor UI features and upgrading the ABP Framework & ecosystem to the .NET 5.0.

The goal is to complete the version 4.0 with a stable Blazor UI with the fundamental features implemented and publish it just after the Microsoft lunches .NET 5 in this November. The planned 4.0 preview release date is November 11th.
