We are glad to announce that ABP 9.3 stable version has been released today.

What's New With Version 9.3?

All the new features were explained in detail in the 9.3 RC Announcement Post, so there is no need to review them again. You can check it out for more details.

Getting Started with 9.3

Creating New Solutions

You can check the Get Started page to see how to get started with ABP. You can either download ABP Studio (recommended, if you prefer a user-friendly GUI application - desktop application) or use the ABP CLI to create new solutions.

Note: ABP Studio v1.2.1 has been released with support for ABP 9.3. If you already have ABP Studio installed, update it to v1.2.1 (or later, if available) to create new applications targeting 9.3. ABP Studio checks for updates automatically and will prompt you in-app modal to update to the latest version, or you can download the latest installer from the Studio page. See the upgrading guide for details. After updating, the New Solution wizard will create applications with ABP 9.3 by default. You can check the ABP Studio and ABP Startup Template Version Mappings documentation to see the corresponding ABP versions for other versions of Studio.

How to Upgrade an Existing Solution

You can upgrade your existing solutions with either ABP Studio or ABP CLI. In the following sections, both approaches are explained:

Upgrading via ABP Studio

If you are already using the ABP Studio, you can upgrade it to the latest version. ABP Studio periodically checks for updates in the background, and when a new version of ABP Studio is available, you will be notified through a modal. Then, you can update it by confirming the opened modal. See the documentation for more info.

After upgrading the ABP Studio, then you can open your solution in the application, and simply click the Upgrade ABP Packages action button to instantly upgrade your solution:

Upgrading via ABP CLI

Alternatively, you can upgrade your existing solution via ABP CLI. First, you need to install the ABP CLI or upgrade it to the latest version.

If you haven't installed it yet, you can run the following command:

dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli

Or to update the existing CLI, you can run the following command:

dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli

After installing/updating the ABP CLI, you can use the update command to update all the ABP related NuGet and NPM packages in your solution as follows:

abp update

You can run this command in the root folder of your solution to update all ABP related packages.

Migration Guides

There are a few breaking changes in this version that may affect your application. Please read the migration guide carefully, if you are upgrading from v9.2: ABP Version 9.3 Migration Guide
