List of all issues fixed in this release - 6.1

Known issues

dotnet nuget push -n|--no-symbols or -d|--disable-buffering raises error: File does not exist ... exception. - #11601

Issue

Previously in order to use -n|--no-symbols and -d|--disable-buffering options with dotnet nuget push command requires passing of unnecessary random value after it. Removal of this unnecessary value can break your script by throwing exception with error: File does not exist ... even though actual push operation was successful.

Workaround

Use -n|--no-symbols and -d|--disable-buffering options standalone without any additional value parameter.
