Modern vs Legacy

Tip

In this article we will compare the two main versions of TazUO: the legacy version built on .NET Framework 4.7.2, and the modern version built on .NET 9 (Net9). We will discuss their differences, performance considerations, and provide recommendations for new users.

⚡ TazUO Net9 (Modern) ⚡

The Net9 version represents the current evolution of TazUO, built on .NET 9, and is where active development is focused:

• Modern architecture: Built on .NET 9 for improved performance and optimizations.
• Integrated assistant: In-built assistant with features like auto-loot, auto-target, and more.
• Active development: Receives all new features and continuous improvements.
• Better performance: Benefits from .NET 9’s improved JIT compilation and memory management.
• Enhanced cross-platform support: Available on Windows, Linux, and macOS with automated builds.

TazUO Legacy (.NET 4.7.2)

• Legacy architecture: Built on .NET Framework 4.7.2, limiting performance and optimization.
• No integrated assistant: Lacks modern automation features.
• Stagnant development: Only receives critical bug fixes or user-contributed pull requests.
• Reduced performance: Does not benefit from modern .NET optimizations.
• Limited cross-platform support: Primarily designed for Windows with no official support for other OS.

System Compatibility 💻

• Legacy: Compatible with older Windows systems, requires .NET Framework 4.7.2.
• Net9: Requires .NET 9 runtime but offers superior native cross-platform support.

Which Version Should You Choose?

Note

For new users, we recommend TazUO Net9 for the following reasons:

1. Active development: Receives all new features and improvements.
2. Better performance: Leverages modern .NET 9 optimizations.
3. Improved stability: More frequent bug fixes.
4. Future-proof: Net9 is the direction TazUO is heading.

Consider Legacy only if:

• You absolutely need specific plugin support.
• You are using an older system that cannot run .NET 9.
• Your server requires features available only via legacy plugins.
