What's new in 7.6.0

Summary: What's New in 7.6.0 - Treat TargetFramework(s) values as aliases - #5154 - This feature enables building for the same framework multiple times, enabling scenarios such as generating runtime specific assemblies for the same target framework, as well as making running benchmarks on different versions of the same package easier. - Learn more about TargetFramework aliases - Pack is aliased-framework-aware - #14751 - When a project has multiple TargetFramework aliases that resolve to the same framework, dotnet pack now detects the ambiguity and raises NU5051 with an actionable error message instead of producing unexpected output. - Package management APIs for file-based apps - #14390 - NuGet now exposes APIs that dotnet package add, list, remove, and update use for file-based apps that reference packages with #:package directives in C# source files. - Read push API key from environment variable - #12539 - dotnet nuget push can now read the API key from an environment variable, avoiding the need to pass secrets on the command line or store them in configuration files. Issues fixed in this release - nuget push sends CI platform in user-agent header - #14740 - nuget.exe push now includes the CI platform (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and others) in the HTTP user-agent header, allowing package sources to identify where pushes originate. - dotnet add package --no-restore with Central Package Management no longer produces NU1008 - #12552 - When using Central Package Management, dotnet add package --no-restore now correctly adds the PackageReference without a Version attribute...
