ContentCleaner support for .net8

I just found the great tool ContentCleaner https://nuget.optimizely.com/package/?id=ContentCleaner, but I was a bit disappointed to see that it doesn't support .NET 8.
Does anyone have information on whether support for it is being developed?

You can do exactly what Mark suggested. I have a .net 8 build over Optimizely packages which only support .net 6. There is no compatibility issue at least.

You can go for the version on GitHub and update it to .net 8 if Paul haven't had the time to do so.

Sadly that'd be the only way to do it. Paul passed away recently.

The code is available here if you want to drop it directly into your solution:

Content Cleaner Tool for Optimizely CMS 12. Admin plugin to allow finding content of a specific type and deleting instances.

Paul was a colleague and a friend, so I've asked internally to the business if there is anyone willing and able to carry on Paul's extension of Jeremy's work.

Please note that you can still use the .NET 6.0 version of this tool in a .NET 8.0 build. There is nothing in the tool which is .NET 6.0 specific and .NET 8.0 is backwards compatible for all previous versions of the .NET Core framework. I would note that one of the controllers is missing an authorization attribute, so do make sure you plug this gap with a middleware that verifies the user until this is resolved.
