Rebex .NET libraries 8.0: Legacy Edition gets TLS 1.3

Due to enduring demand, we decided to keep Legacy Edition of Rebex libraries up-to-date once more.

The new Legacy Edition v8.0 targets .NET Framework 2.0, .NET Compact Framework 3.5, and .NET Compact Framework 3.9, making it possible to target systems as old as Windows 2000 or Windows Mobile 5, provided they have sufficient operating memory.

The new version adds lot of major new features from versions 6, 7, and 8, such as TLS 1.3 support (might require a plugin on very old platforms).

The 8.0 series will almost certainly be the last to target .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Compact Framework. If you plan to use Rebex libraries on these platforms in 2028 and beyond, get in touch with us to discuss long-term support and maintenance options.

For more information about the 8.0 release and its enhancements, see the release history for mainstream edition. However, please note that Legacy Edition lacks some of the more recent additions, such as ML-KEM, ML-DSA, or server-side FTP support.
