Aspose.Slides for .NET 25.10 Release Notes

New Features and Improvements

Updates to Supported Target Platforms

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and security of our product, we are planning to discontinue support for outdated versions of the .NET Framework, such as .NET Framework 2.0, 3.5, and 4.0. These will be replaced with assemblies targeting more modern and secure versions of the .NET platform.

These changes are scheduled to take effect starting with version 25.11.
We recommend updating your projects in advance to ensure compatibility with the supported .NET versions.

For more details about the updates to supported target platforms, please refer to this article.
