Any plans to update the framework?

1

Hi there! I'm in the initial stages of learning Rock, and I'm curious if there's any plans to upgrade the framework to something like dotnet 10. I know WebForms aren't supported outside of .NET Framework, so it would be a big undertaking.

Thanks!

    The core team is actively on a multi-year mission to migrate from Webforms to "Obsidian", which is pretty much a custom version of Vue (while making the server side .net core) https://community.rockrms.com/developer/obsidian

    They're maybe 40% of blocks converted to Obsidian (last time I heard a stat, could be more than that now) but have so far done a remarkable job of blending existing Webforms Rock with the new Obsidian flavors. Each and every release has a handful of new blocks that are either "swapped" or "chopped", depending on how risky the block-swap is (sometimes they change the block but keep the old one around in case you want/need to move back to webforms due to bugs), and sometimes they outright remove the webforms block and replace it with new)
