During November 2024, Orion Edwards modernized the OctopusDeploy/OctopusClients repository by upgrading its build and test infrastructure to use .NET 8 exclusively, leveraging the STS channel. He removed all .NET 6 references and updated dependencies to align with the latest runtime, streamlining the build process and reducing compatibility risks. Orion applied his expertise in .NET development, build automation, and CI/CD to eliminate legacy configuration patterns, which reduced environment drift and improved CI stability. The migration, implemented using C# and PowerShell, positioned the repository for easier future upgrades and enabled faster, more reliable builds with lower maintenance overhead.

Month 2024-11 focused on modernizing the OctopusClients build pipeline by migrating all builds and tests to .NET 8 exclusively via the STS channel, removing all references to .NET 6, and updating dependencies to align with the latest runtime. This simplification reduces maintenance overhead, shortens CI cycles, and improves future upgrade readiness for the repository.
