Publish Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers 7.0.4

[ChristofferGersen]

After updating to Visual Studio 17.7.1 I get the following build warning:

.nuget\packages\microsoft.codeanalysis.netanalyzers\7.0.3\build\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers.targets(593,5): warning : The .NET SDK has newer analyzers with version '7.0.4' than what version '7.0.3' of 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers' package provides. Update or remove this package reference.

This is of course because I include the NuGet package to force all developers to use the same code analyzers, regardless of Visual Studio version. I would love to update the NuGet package to v7.0.4, but it has not been published yet, there is only a 7.0.4-preview1.23354.4 version. Can you please publish Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers 7.0.4 to NuGet? Just like it was done to resolve #6285 for 7.0.0 and #6502 for 7.0.1.

Can you also please synchronize with VS version releases so that this problem does recur again and again in the future?

+1 This is an annoyance - it's fine to warn about analyser updates, but pointless to warn about non-existent versions (i.e. there is no 7.0.4 yet, only a preview, so we cannot address the warning). The preview packages should not be acknowledged by this warning.

The warning comes from .Net SDK 7.0.400, which claims to have a 7.0.4 version. I thought that it actually did contain said version, but that it just had not been published to NuGet yet. I did a little more digging and found out that the SDK actually includes the preview version. You can see this by looking at the version of C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.400\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\analyzers\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers.dll.

I also checked that .NET SDK 7.0.304 released with analyzers version 7.0.3-preview1.23267.1. I never found a similar issue about this version, but that is probably because the non-preview version was published to NuGet two days after .Net SDK 7.0.304 was released.

So perhaps the solution is to not release a .Net SDK with a preview version of the analyzers.

7.0.4 version of the package has been published and should soon be available on NuGet.org. Sorry for the inconvenience caused here.

Assigning this issue to @carlossanlop @buyaa-n to ensure that we publish the release version of the analyzer Nuget package at the same time as releasing a new .NET SDK release/patch OR remove this MSBuild warning recommending upgrade altogether.
