Package handling

What's the preferred way to handle packages in CMS 12?

At the moment I only have EPiServer.CMS referenced and all dependencies are handled automatically. That seems to keep the dependencies at the lowest possible version though.

Any suggestions about this?

That is the default behavior of nuget NuGet Package Dependency Resolution | Microsoft Docs (lowest compatible version)

In previous version of VIsual Studio I think you have the option to change that, however it is no longer available in 2022 as I checked it

Magnus Rahl has written an in-depth article about how nuget dependencies are resolved with the new model.

We ended up referencing a handful of packages in order to get to the latest versions.

I think I've often ended up referenceing more than a handful of packages, but an Optimizely engineer once recommended me directly installing the following packages.

EPiServer.CMS
EPiServer.Hosting
EPiServer.CMS.AspNetCore.HtmlHelpers
