+### 4. Adding a New Version
+The 'list_deps.sh' script can be used to parse a new major version and determine the dependencies.
+1. Download the new major version.
+2. Extract the contents to a folder.
+3. Run the dependency script on the folder (Ex: ./list_deps.sh <asp_net_core_folder>).
+4. The script should output all the unique dependencies on all the native executables and shared objects in the folders.
+5. Ignore any dependencies that are local to the package (Ex: libmscordaccore.so).
+Below is a list of the dependencies found in each major version:
