Please review the release notes for more information about the changes included with this update. SocketTools 11 supports the current release of Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. For the SocketTools Subscription and .NET Edition, this release includes .NET 10.0 assemblies for use with Visual Studio 2026.
This is a minor update which addresses a problem with the installer packages and updates some libraries used by the SocketTools components. We've also updated the documentation to make it clear that Visual Studio 2026 and .NET 10 is supported in addition to previous versions of Visual Studio.
For the SocketTools Subscription and .NET Edition, this update includes builds which use the latest .NET SDKs. If your projects are using .NET 6.0 or .NET 7.0, remember that these versions are no longer supported by Microsoft. We will continue to include assemblies which target those versions to assist with migrating your projects, but it's recommended that you upgrade them to the .NET 10.0 LTS release.
You do not need to uninstall previous versions of SocketTools when installing this update. For example, if you also have SocketTools 10 installed on your development system, you do not need to uninstall that version.
The SocketTools installer packages and components have been digitally signed with an extended validation (EV) Authenticode certificate which uses SHA-256 signatures.
