[dotnet] latest STS version is stuck on 7.0.410

[sliekens]

Hi,

It appears that the latest.version (STS) version is no longer being updated, it should report 9.0.101 but it's still on 7.0.410 three weeks after .NET 9 was released. As a result, the dotnet feature still defaults to installing the latest.version (LTS) version (currently 8.0.403) .

Since the latest.version file above is more of a private API used by the dotnet-install script, maybe now is a good time to rewrite this code to use the releases-index.json. More info: README.

Hi @sliekens
The existing URL's have already been updated to point to the versions 9.0.101 for STS and 8.0.404 for LTS

Ok interesting, was it coincidence? 😁

Regardless, I still think it's a good idea to use the releases index rather than the semi-private URL. I could draft a PR for it.

Yes sort of a coincidence, had been promptly updated by the dotnet team

The URL's that are present in the feature are maintained by dotnet team only
