FakeXrmEasy v1.x is deprecated

FakeXrmEasy versions 1.x are deprecated and will stop receiving updates soon. Your organisation can start using the latest, already available, 2.x and 3.x versions, which is where the focus is at right now. They both support the traditional SDK and the new DataverseClient in .net core that is production ready (1.0.1) since June 2022.

If you weren’t aware that there was a new version coming up, you might want to know why we are deprecating version 1.x and introducing a more sustainable and healthier OSS model going forward

Why?

There are several reasons by which you want to migrate:

• New architecture and new features: The new version was upgraded to the latest version of the DataverseClient, it has been significantly rewritten and refactored, and it comes with plenty of new features that are released frequently.
• Performance: the newer versions (3.x) run in .net core which is significantly more performant. In addition, we made and also we’ll be making new performance improvements to the framework.
• Carbon friendly: Less CPU cycles than integration testing => Less energy consumption => Environmental friendly
• Technical debt: We keep FakeXrmEasy up to date with the latest platform and dataverse features and fixes, this is technical debt you don’t have to deal with yourself.
• Documentation: Brand new and amazing dedicated docs site that is constantly up to date.
• Increased developer efficiency: Link to our white paper here
• Happy customers
