Visual Studio 2022 Aspire users:
*UPDATE to the latest version of Aspire*

You're missing out on so much!
Latest Aspire supports .NET 8/9/10!

Run this in a terminal:
dotnet new install Aspire.ProjectTemplates --force

Open NuGet Package Manager & update all Aspire.* packages to version 13.

Enjoy!

This is massive! Always kept it up to date anyways, but this is massive for those who could not previously use STS due to the shorter support cycle
.NET STS releases are now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support!
