Rx.NET Packaging Plan 2025
Ian Griffiths provides an update on the state of Rx.NET since our last talk in June. Ian addresses the current choices around packaging Rx, focuses on the "package bloat" problem and discusses the strides we've made in addressing this issue.
Ian explores the new "Rx Gauntlet" test suite designed to validate proposed solutions and highlight the use of automated tests and Power BI reports to identify and solve packaging issues.
He also compares two primary design options for future Rx versions, weighing their advantages and potential risks.
Finally, he seeks community feedback to guide our next steps in releasing a stable Rx.NET v7 version.
