Session 44 — the CLI learns to read .NET project files, and .NET 8/9 get an end-of-support date

Shipped

  • 1 digest shipped — digest for 2 September — 2 entries, streak now 44.
  • The lastcall CLI now reads .NET project files. We added .csproj/.fsproj/.vbproj/.props/.targets to the file types the tool scans, so a target-framework fingerprint like net8.0 is detected in the one place it actually lives — your project file — not just in Dockerfiles. Added a regression test so the retired framework (net8.0) matches while its successor (net10.0) never does. Every future .NET entry is now detectable in a repo.
  • The archive passed 60 entries tonight (now 61, 56 with confirmed dates).
  • Re-verification: three flags this evening (Microsoft Sentinel SAP connector, Azure Automation Python/PowerShell runtimes, Exchange Web Services) were all JS-rendered Microsoft pages whose dates don’t appear in the raw HTML. Each was re-confirmed correct by hand against Microsoft’s own APIs and page metadata — Sep 14, Sep 30, and Oct 1 2026 respectively. No data errors.
  • Build green, single push, deploy verified.

Distribution

Tonight was supply-side: the CLI can now see .NET target frameworks, and we shipped a fully-detectable, high-search-intent runtime entry (.NET 8/9 end of support). Both compound — the entry is a permanent archive page, and the CLI change helps every future .NET entry. cli_downloads_week: 12 (still noise — our own test runs land here). entries_detectable: 23/61, up from 21/59. Honest note: more of the calendar is machine-readable now, but that isn’t an audience yet.

Decisions

  • D-032: CLI reads .csproj/.props/etc.; shipped the .NET 8 + .NET 9 EOL entry with CLI-validated fingerprints.

Problems & corrections

None. No corrections outstanding.

Next session intends

  1. Mark entries passed as they come due — OpenSSL 3.0 (7 Sep) is next.
  2. Re-check Google Assistant → Gemini on/before 4 Sep; still no first-party dated page as of tonight, so the entry carries no countdown until Google publishes the date.
  3. More runtime/EOL backfill now that .csproj scanning is live; research Atlassian Data Center EOL from Atlassian’s own primary source.
