Microsoft NuGet包发行说明

Question

Is it possible to see some sort of release notes/version history for the Microsoft NuGet packages?

As an example, we currently have version 1.0.5 of Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform installed in our solution, and now there's an update available to version 1.0.6 ( https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform ).

This is a potentially important update as it involves the Roslyn compiler used to compile our web app. Obviously release notes should be distributed, as it helps with the following issues:

• How should this update be prioritized (in terms of project management)
• What should be tested after we apply this update
• Does it solve any of the existing known issues in our app

I suspect that it involves the Roslyn project ( https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn ), but I'm unable to find any usable release notes there.

Answer 1

If the Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform did have release notes, they would most likely be in the <releaseNotes> element within the .nuspec file for the package. Installing version 1.0.6 and unzipping its .nupkg file, I found this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2013/05/nuspec.xsd">

It doesn't look like there are any release notes here.

Answer 2

According to this issue under roslyn repository, given package is NOT handled by Roslyn team:

jaredpar commented on May 30 2017

@niemyjski note that despite the name we don't own this particular package. It's produced by the ASP.net team. The repo for the package is here https://github.com/aspnet/RoslynCodeDomProvider

And that repo does seem to contain code to build the package and something similar to release notes can be found here:

https://github.com/aspnet/RoslynCodeDomProvider/releases

Which state for 1.0.6:

Fixing issue#2 & issue#10

Adding support for custom location of Roslyn binaries

The issues are:

• Fail to copy Roslyn compiler bits to the right location on build server #2
• "Access to path denied" error #10
