This week we will be celebrating the official release of Oqtane 11. This is a major release and represents the official migration from .NET 10 to .NET 11.
.NET 11 is the latest iteration of the .NET platform which was officially released last week during .NET Conf 2026. According to Microsoft's Support Policy, .NET 11 is a Short Term Support (STS) release which means that it is the same level of quality as .NET 10 but will only be supported until November 2028 (the same as .NET 10). The release of Oqtane 11 means that we will be fully transitioning our development efforts to .NET 11, however based on community feedback we will also be announcing some adjustments to our Support Policy in regards to prior Oqtane versions. Specifically, we will continue to support Oqtane 10 with security patch releases for 1 additional year (until November 2027 when .NET 12 LTS arrives). In alignment with our project philosophy, there is a seamless and automated upgrade path from all prior Oqtane releases to Oqtane 11. In addition, Oqtane modules and themes that were created for prior versions will continue to function properly on Oqtane 11 as the framework remains fully backward compatible.
We are lucky to once again have Dan Roth, Principal Product Manager for ASP.NET Core & Blazor, join us for this special presentation. Dan has participated in the past 2 Oqtane release presentations and has been an invaluable resource for the open source project over the past 6 years.
