Rhinoceros

As a Rhino third-party developer, it is time to get ready for Rhino 8.

There are multiple changes to Rhino 8 that may introduce problems with your plugins or Grasshopper components. This includes switching from .NET Framework to .NET Core 7.0 as well as many UI and SDK updates.

To get ready for Rhino 8, please:

• Download the Rhino 8 beta.
• Install your plugin in Rhino 8.
• Test.
• Let us know any questions or concerns on the Rhino Developer Forum.

Update the distribution of your tools:

• Publish your plugin to the package manager for quick and easy installation in Rhino and Grasshopper.
• Update the information on food4rhino.
• Announce your plugin on the Rhino 7 Plugins forum to get feedback from customers. There are already many users ready to start field testing immediately.

Also, be aware of some new Rhino 8 features and enhancements that may affect you:

• CPython scripting
• Cross-platform .NET Core 7
• Grasshopper: Rhino Data Types
• Code-Driven File IO
• New supported File Formats.
• Much more...
