Elasticsearch-net: NewtonSoft.Json 10.0.1 support

[h0gh]

Please update the dependency on NewtonSoft.Json to support the new 10.0.1 release.

Any reason why Newtonsoft.Json reference is bound to <10 in NEST.nuspec? Can we expect NuGet 2.5.* which allows Newtonsoft.Json to be updated?

build/NEST.nuspec

<dependencies>
    <group targetFramework=".NETFramework4.5">
        ...
        <dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="[9,10)" />
    </group>
    <group targetFramework=".NETFramework4.6">
        ...
        <dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="[9,10)" />
    </group>
    <group targetFramework=".NETStandard1.3">
        ...
        <dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="[9,10)" />
    </group>
</dependencies>

The issue we have is that FSharp List can't be deserialized when using F# 4.1 and Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.1 (https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/issues/1180). Newtonsoft.Json 10.* solves the issue but we can't update to it because of NEST limitation.

Hi @draganjovanovic1

The reason its bound to that is because we only test with 9. The last major jump from 8 to 9 broke some things for us so we tend to fixate it to a major version.

We will release an update within the next couple days to 2.x and 5.x releases of the client which bumps to Json.NET to 10.

The releases for those from last week are still on 9.x to give folks fixated on those a chance to upgrade too.

Every major release of Json.NET we get a ticket asking to upgrade, or if we are too fast with bumping asking to downgrade :smile:

Hi @Mpdreamz

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for the new version...

[draganjovanovic1]

Hi @Mpdreamz, any news on schedule for a new version? Thanks.

I've found this requirement on 9.0.1 means that I get errors loading any assemblies referencing 10.0.1

[Mpdreamz]

Ok we just did new releases for 2.x and 5.x bumping to Json.NET 10.x

2.x

Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NEST/2.5.4
Release Notes: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-net/releases/tag/2.5.4

5.x

Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NEST/5.3.1
Release notes: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-net/releases/tag/5.3.1

Sorry this took a little longer then expected!

Can we still get a 1.x client version with JSON.Net 10.x? We're running into dependency conflicts with other packages, but upgrading Elastic has proven a lot of (too much) effort...

@zidad there are no plans to release another 1.x client as it, along with Elasticsearch 1.x, are no longer supported.
