Build note

Here are some tips if you want to build Npgsql yourself.

Version	Branch	Development status	Build system supported
3.1	develop	In progress, accepts new features/bugfixes	Visual Studio 2015-, DNX
3.0	hotfix/3.0.6	Stable, accepts bugfixes	Visual Studio 2013-
2.2	support/2.x	Stable and legacy	Visual Studio 2010-

Note: Npgsql loosely follows semver.

With the develop branch everything uses the new DNX/project.json system. Some things to make sure:

• Use dnvm to make sure you're running on 1.0.0-rc1-update1, runtime clr.
• Go into src/Npgsql and do dnu restore, then dnx rewrite-async.
• Open Npgsql-dnx.sln with VS2015 and everything should work

Note: Using build.cmd needs PowerShell 3.0 or later. PowerShell version can be checked with Get-Host | Select-Object Version

Note: Building Windows XP application still requires Npgsql 2.2 because latest supported .NET Framework is 4.0
