Why?
It’s soon time to say farewell to Cobalt, the “transfer-pump” of files, that will be replaced with a new solution. Cobalt has already served nine (9) years with ultimate robustness and easiness of file transfers which is an excellent lifespan for any IT -solution. Old Cobalt only supports .NET Framework, where Microsoft has announced the end-of-life.
.NET and .NET Core release lifecycle (Source: Microsoft, .NET and .NET Core Support Policy)
But no worries, Frends already has new modules. So if you are using old Cobalt, this is something that concerns you. There’s no hurry to migrate, but a strong recommendation is to start utilizing the new way to do the same thing.
