Kaspersky\VPN\KSOS 21.6.7.351 RC

It is hard to find some bugs. Good job KL.

Quite stable RC, but still had the previous issues with registry key avp.exe (had to delete manually in Win10 Safe Mode, and then overwriting this RC in normal mode) :)

I've not tried out MR6 yet. Is it still based on Microsoft .NET 5 or on .NET 6 already, because .NET 5 will reach the end of support on May 8, 2022. MR5 is based on .NET 5 yet.

MR6, like MR5, is based on .NET Desktop Runtime 5

Thx for the answer, @dimakor83. Then I hope KL will switch to .NET 6 as soon as possbile 'cause the clock is ticking.

PS: I just wanned to try MR6 out to spot what .NET-version is used in it.

.NET Desktop Runtime 5

Platform version .NET Desktop Runtime 5.0.10. This version of the platform is installed together with Kaspersky Lab applications 21.6. Despite this, no one forbids installing or updating the .NET Desktop Runtime to version 5.0.16, which was released quite recently.

Now consider such a thing as "support". Software support is the further development of the current version of the program in order to close software vulnerabilities, improve software stability and improve compatibility with other software. Unfortunately, modules written in .NET Runtime 5 will not be able to run and run in .NET Runtime 6 and above. However, the end of support for .NET Runtime 5 will not affect the launch and operation of Kaspersky 21.6 modules written on the .NET Runtime version 5 platform.

Yes, I do know. But my point is, .NET 5 Runtime will not get any security updates and bug fixes after May 8, 2022.

The sooner the switch to .NET 6 will happen, the earlier bugs or incompatible behaviors can be found in the products.

I'm just using MR5 and it's causing me some discomfort not knowing when the move to .NET 6 will be done.

I like MR5 very much and I don't wanna go back to MR3.

By the way, .NET 6 is a LTS version and works way faster than .NET 5.

You are right.

It depends on the developer.

Yes, indeed.
