Microsoft has published the first production release of its .NET framework after a development effort spanning more than a year.

net

A software development platform based on NET 6.

The .NET 6 software

sotware

Was released on November 8 and is available for download at .Net. Microsoft.com.

The bulletin on the production release announced that .NET 6 offers "massive" improvements in performance along with native support for Apple silicon and improved support for Arm64, the last piece of a vision for the .NET platform.

Also available in .NET 6 are C# 10 with improvements that make code faster and more expressive F# 6 with performance ease-of-use and uniformity improvements a dynamic profile-guided optimization system for runtime optimizations.

Additionally, a new .Net-monitor tool and the OpenTelemetry standard for observability telemetry improve cloud diagnostics.

Microsoft said WebAssembly support was improved and APIs were added to support HTTP/3, JSON processing, math, and direct memory manipulation.

.NET 6 will be supported for three years, and developers have already begun upgrading to it.

According to an RC2 bulletin, C# 10 features such as records and patterns will be introduced and incorporated into .NET 6.

The global directive and file-scoped namespace are also included in C# 10, which make developers' lives easier and reduce boilerplate.

In C# 10, record structs are also supported, as in C# 9 (class-based) records, but they have some differences, including structs being added for completeness, so structs can also take advantage of the record benefits of classes.

In addition to the file-scoped namespace declarations, C# 10 has many features that aim to reduce indentation and line counts.

Two release candidates and seven preview releases were released for .NET 6.

According to an October 12 bulletin for the second release candidate, additional new capabilities include:

  • MacOS and Windows Arm64 support are almost done. Arm64 and x64 build are installed to different locations in .NET 6 RC2. To install .NET 6 RC2 or later on MacOS or Windows Arm64 machines, developers need to uninstall all previous .NET builds.

  • Since RC1 which was released on September 14 new features in the .NET SDK are opt-in. Async Main, top-level statements, target-typed new expressions, global using directives, namespaces with file scopes, and nullable reference types are all features of the new C# project template.

Improved cloud, desktop, and mobile app performance will come with .NET 6.

As a result, the Xamarin open-source mobile .NET platform will integrate capabilities for Android, iOS, and MacOS.

In addition, Microsoft is extending its Blazor web application development tool to allow developers to create hybrid web-native client apps.

The first unified platform implementation of .NET 5 was Blazor WebAssembly.

blazor

.Net 5 came out in November 2020, which we can consider the beginning of unification and allowed Xamarin developers to use a unified .NET platform with .NET 6.0.

net5

As a result of the .NET unification, separate technologies like .NET Core, .NET Framework, and Xamarin/Mono will become one .NET.

In .NET 5, Mono/Xamarin has combined with .NET Core and .NET Framework for a base library and toolchain.

Other parts of .NET Framework had already been ported to .NET Core.

.NET 6 RC1

Was introduced on September 14, followed by seven preview releases.

Visual Studio 2022 Preview 4 has been tested and is supported by RC1.

An article posted on the RC covered the following .NET 6 fundamentals:

  • Pre-compilation using CrossGen 2.

  • Security mitigation called W^X prevents the simultaneous writability and execution of memory.

  • We are developing infrastructure and scenarios that can satisfy the packaging rules of Debian and Fedora, two widely used Linux distributions. Also, source build is intended to facilitate coordinating changes to multiple repositories for the .NET Core SDK from contributors. Developing the .NET Core SDK from source can be challenging due to several common issues that developers encounter.

  • The profile-guided optimization approach assumes that code executed during a startup is uniform, so leveraging it can give a higher performance level. As a result of PGO's rearranging of application binaries, startup code can be more closely co-located at the beginning of the file, which can reduce the binary size and improve quality.

  • It is a mirror image of PGO and is integrated with the RyuJIT .NET just-in-time compiler, which dramatically improves performance.

  • The new HTTP/3, previewed in .NET 6, solves challenges that previous versions of HTTP had.

The Preview 7 released on August 10 polished some features. The Preview 7 provided:

  • Also included in libraries are native memory allocation APIs.

  • Library features like serialization notifications and property ordering are provided by System.Text.Json.

  • Libraries can simplify cryptographic operations by using simplified call patterns.

  • .NET SDK templates were updated to use the latest C# features.

  • Libraries were highlighted that provide nullability information via reflection APIs.

  • The .NET 7 early preview features generic math.

As part of Preview 6, announced on July 14, the following capabilities were demonstrated:

  • DirectoryServices.Protocols now support TLS.

  • Performance improvements for sync-over-async.

  • Optional workload improvements in the .NET SDK.

In Preview 5, released on June 17, the following capabilities were listed:

  • Default fonts for Windows Forms applications can be set.

  • Improvements have been made to the extension APIs, notably hosting and dependency injection.

  • Libraries can use WebSocket compression to reduce their network traffic.

  • The .NET Framework 4.6.1, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET Standard 2.0 are no longer supported.

  • As part of text.json in .NET 6, a source generator is being added to speed up startup times, improve throughput, and decrease memory usage.

  • With the .NET API, Objective-C and .NET runtimes can interact seamlessly.

  • Observability has been enhanced with the OpenTelemetry Metrics API support. OpenTelemetry, which is supported by recent .NET versions, has been integrated.

  • Linux now has OpenSSL 3 cryptography support.

  • Within the .NET unification vision, additional application types, such as mobile and WebAssembly, can be supported without causing SDK size to increase. The list and update features have been added, with the .Net workload list feature notifying a developer which workloads are installed and the .Net workload update feature updating all installed workloads to the most recent version. Preview 4 introduced SDK workloads, which served as a package manager.

  • Developers of NuGet libraries can check that packages are consistent and well-formed using package validation tools.

  • Compiler platform Roslyn should have more analyzers.

  • The Platform Compatibility analyzer for the SDK is equipped with custom guards.

A preview of .NET 6 was released on May 25, which included finished features and experiences. Final production-ready builds will be released in August.

Microsoft described eight themes for .NET 6 in its preview bulletin:

  • Improvements in "inner loop" performance for .NET developers, including hot restarts, hot reloads, and build performance.

  • Enhancing the .NET ecosystem through improved confidence, quality, and support.

  • By utilizing runtime execution information, startup and throughput can be improved.

  • Fulfilling developer expectations.

  • Students and new developers will find this useful.

  • Excellent client development experience.

  • Identified as one of the best platforms for developing cloud-native applications.

  • By using .NET with mission-critical apps and catering more closely to the needs of large enterprises and government organizations, we can provide simpler and more predictable models.

Highlights of Preview 4 include:

  • Generate performant logging APIs with a LoggerMessageAttribute type source.

  • Improvements to Linq using new APIs.

  • Improvements to RyuJIT's compiler.

  • Improved support for the date, time, and time zone.

  • As a default, warnings are enabled for IL (intermediate language) trimming. Developers are notified about the possibility of trimming removing code that is used during runtime by trimming warnings.

  • Improved single-file publishing capabilities, including customizable warnings and improved analysis.

  • Compression is now available for single-file bundles.

  • There is a built-in SDK version check.

  • When publishing ReadyToRun images, Crossgen2 is now enabled by default as a means of generating and optimizing code in advance.

  • The Hot Reload feature provides an experience for making changes to source code while the code is running without having to pause or break the application. The Hot Reload feature allows developers to deploy applications using WPF, Windows Forms, WinUI, ASP.NET, Console Apps, and other frameworks that run on the CoreCLR runtime. It will also be adapted to WebAssembly, iOS, and Android apps that run on Mono in the future.

  • System.Text.Json now supports serializing IAsyncEnumerable <T> objects as JSON arrays, enabling (de) serialization with IAsyncEnumerable <T> objects.

  • It provides an API to bypass the complexity of serialization and the traditional cost of a DOM by implementing the writeable JSON DOM feature for Text.Json.

  • Improved performance of FileStream on Windows.

On April 8, Preview 3 featured the following improvements and additions:

  • Several changes have been made to RyuJIT to increase efficiency or speed up the resulting code generation.

  • The ASP.NET Core and Blazor projects that use .Net watch have begun supporting .NET Hot Reload. There is a broader plan to bring this technology to all .NET developers, including desktop and cross-platform client development in .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) and much more.

  • Update struct values in dictionaries faster with CollectionsMarshal.GetValueRef, a new dangerous API. This API is designed for situations that require a lot of processing power.

  • The performance of interface casting has been enhanced by 16% to 38%, which is very advantageous for C# pattern matching to as well as between interfaces.

Preview 2

Was released on March 17 and included API and library changes, as well as early releases of.NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI), a modern UI toolkit based on Xamarin.

ohh

Microsoft's bulletin on Preview 2 also stressed platform themes including enhancing "inner loop" efficiency, which refers to streamlining the tools and procedures that developers use to update, create, and verify their code on a regular basis.

For instance, will boost developer efficiency by allowing code to be modified while an application is running without the need for a debugger.

The inner loops theme also includes the efficiency of runtime initialization, application models, the .net CLI, and MSBuild.

Improved client app development, particularly a more cohesive mobile offering for.NET, is just another theme.

iOS, Android, and MacOS development will be merged into the.NET SDK and will use.NET libraries as part of this project.

Furthermore, the Xamarin forms cross-UI framework will evolve into.NET MAUI, allowing designers to develop apps for Android, Windows, and MacOS from the same codebase.

Blazor apps will be able to run freely on Windows and MacOS thanks to the .NET MAUI framework.

The inclusion of APIs and enhancements to.NET libraries were also highlighted by Microsoft.

In addition, when serializing an object graph, JsonSerializer (System.Tex.Json) now offers the ability to disregard cycles and PriorityQueueTElement.TPriority> is a new series that allows the inclusion of additional items with a value and a priority.

Improved parsing of standard numeric forms, as well as performance and JIT enhancements, were included in Preview 2.

Android and iOS were the first two platforms featured in MAUI, according to Preview 1, which was released on February 17.

MacOS and Windows desktop support will be included in future versions.

For a native application container and native application container controls, Blazor, which is developed on top of MAUI, uses the UI stack.

The Spanking New Features in .NET 6

February 16, 2024

Microsoft has published the first production release of its .NET framework after a development effort spanning more than a year.

net

A software development platform based on NET 6.

The .NET 6 software

sotware

Was released on November 8 and is available for download at .Net. Microsoft.com.

The bulletin on the production release announced that .NET 6 offers "massive" improvements in performance along with native support for Apple silicon and improved support for Arm64, the last piece of a vision for the .NET platform.

Also available in .NET 6 are C# 10 with improvements that make code faster and more expressive F# 6 with performance ease-of-use and uniformity improvements a dynamic profile-guided optimization system for runtime optimizations.

Additionally, a new .Net-monitor tool and the OpenTelemetry standard for observability telemetry improve cloud diagnostics.

Microsoft said WebAssembly support was improved and APIs were added to support HTTP/3, JSON processing, math, and direct memory manipulation.

.NET 6 will be supported for three years, and developers have already begun upgrading to it.

According to an RC2 bulletin, C# 10 features such as records and patterns will be introduced and incorporated into .NET 6.

The global directive and file-scoped namespace are also included in C# 10, which make developers' lives easier and reduce boilerplate.

In C# 10, record structs are also supported, as in C# 9 (class-based) records, but they have some differences, including structs being added for completeness, so structs can also take advantage of the record benefits of classes.

In addition to the file-scoped namespace declarations, C# 10 has many features that aim to reduce indentation and line counts.

Two release candidates and seven preview releases were released for .NET 6.

According to an October 12 bulletin for the second release candidate, additional new capabilities include:

  • MacOS and Windows Arm64 support are almost done. Arm64 and x64 build are installed to different locations in .NET 6 RC2. To install .NET 6 RC2 or later on MacOS or Windows Arm64 machines, developers need to uninstall all previous .NET builds.

  • Since RC1 which was released on September 14 new features in the .NET SDK are opt-in. Async Main, top-level statements, target-typed new expressions, global using directives, namespaces with file scopes, and nullable reference types are all features of the new C# project template.

Improved cloud, desktop, and mobile app performance will come with .NET 6.

As a result, the Xamarin open-source mobile .NET platform will integrate capabilities for Android, iOS, and MacOS.

In addition, Microsoft is extending its Blazor web application development tool to allow developers to create hybrid web-native client apps.

The first unified platform implementation of .NET 5 was Blazor WebAssembly.

blazor

.Net 5 came out in November 2020, which we can consider the beginning of unification and allowed Xamarin developers to use a unified .NET platform with .NET 6.0.

net5

As a result of the .NET unification, separate technologies like .NET Core, .NET Framework, and Xamarin/Mono will become one .NET.

In .NET 5, Mono/Xamarin has combined with .NET Core and .NET Framework for a base library and toolchain.

Other parts of .NET Framework had already been ported to .NET Core.

.NET 6 RC1

Was introduced on September 14, followed by seven preview releases.

Visual Studio 2022 Preview 4 has been tested and is supported by RC1.

An article posted on the RC covered the following .NET 6 fundamentals:

  • Pre-compilation using CrossGen 2.

  • Security mitigation called W^X prevents the simultaneous writability and execution of memory.

  • We are developing infrastructure and scenarios that can satisfy the packaging rules of Debian and Fedora, two widely used Linux distributions. Also, source build is intended to facilitate coordinating changes to multiple repositories for the .NET Core SDK from contributors. Developing the .NET Core SDK from source can be challenging due to several common issues that developers encounter.

  • The profile-guided optimization approach assumes that code executed during a startup is uniform, so leveraging it can give a higher performance level. As a result of PGO's rearranging of application binaries, startup code can be more closely co-located at the beginning of the file, which can reduce the binary size and improve quality.

  • It is a mirror image of PGO and is integrated with the RyuJIT .NET just-in-time compiler, which dramatically improves performance.

  • The new HTTP/3, previewed in .NET 6, solves challenges that previous versions of HTTP had.

The Preview 7 released on August 10 polished some features. The Preview 7 provided:

  • Also included in libraries are native memory allocation APIs.

  • Library features like serialization notifications and property ordering are provided by System.Text.Json.

  • Libraries can simplify cryptographic operations by using simplified call patterns.

  • .NET SDK templates were updated to use the latest C# features.

  • Libraries were highlighted that provide nullability information via reflection APIs.

  • The .NET 7 early preview features generic math.

As part of Preview 6, announced on July 14, the following capabilities were demonstrated:

  • DirectoryServices.Protocols now support TLS.

  • Performance improvements for sync-over-async.

  • Optional workload improvements in the .NET SDK.

In Preview 5, released on June 17, the following capabilities were listed:

  • Default fonts for Windows Forms applications can be set.

  • Improvements have been made to the extension APIs, notably hosting and dependency injection.

  • Libraries can use WebSocket compression to reduce their network traffic.

  • The .NET Framework 4.6.1, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET Standard 2.0 are no longer supported.

  • As part of text.json in .NET 6, a source generator is being added to speed up startup times, improve throughput, and decrease memory usage.

  • With the .NET API, Objective-C and .NET runtimes can interact seamlessly.

  • Observability has been enhanced with the OpenTelemetry Metrics API support. OpenTelemetry, which is supported by recent .NET versions, has been integrated.

  • Linux now has OpenSSL 3 cryptography support.

  • Within the .NET unification vision, additional application types, such as mobile and WebAssembly, can be supported without causing SDK size to increase. The list and update features have been added, with the .Net workload list feature notifying a developer which workloads are installed and the .Net workload update feature updating all installed workloads to the most recent version. Preview 4 introduced SDK workloads, which served as a package manager.

  • Developers of NuGet libraries can check that packages are consistent and well-formed using package validation tools.

  • Compiler platform Roslyn should have more analyzers.

  • The Platform Compatibility analyzer for the SDK is equipped with custom guards.

A preview of .NET 6 was released on May 25, which included finished features and experiences. Final production-ready builds will be released in August.

Microsoft described eight themes for .NET 6 in its preview bulletin:

  • Improvements in "inner loop" performance for .NET developers, including hot restarts, hot reloads, and build performance.

  • Enhancing the .NET ecosystem through improved confidence, quality, and support.

  • By utilizing runtime execution information, startup and throughput can be improved.

  • Fulfilling developer expectations.

  • Students and new developers will find this useful.

  • Excellent client development experience.

  • Identified as one of the best platforms for developing cloud-native applications.

  • By using .NET with mission-critical apps and catering more closely to the needs of large enterprises and government organizations, we can provide simpler and more predictable models.

Highlights of Preview 4 include:

  • Generate performant logging APIs with a LoggerMessageAttribute type source.

  • Improvements to Linq using new APIs.

  • Improvements to RyuJIT's compiler.

  • Improved support for the date, time, and time zone.

  • As a default, warnings are enabled for IL (intermediate language) trimming. Developers are notified about the possibility of trimming removing code that is used during runtime by trimming warnings.

  • Improved single-file publishing capabilities, including customizable warnings and improved analysis.

  • Compression is now available for single-file bundles.

  • There is a built-in SDK version check.

  • When publishing ReadyToRun images, Crossgen2 is now enabled by default as a means of generating and optimizing code in advance.

  • The Hot Reload feature provides an experience for making changes to source code while the code is running without having to pause or break the application. The Hot Reload feature allows developers to deploy applications using WPF, Windows Forms, WinUI, ASP.NET, Console Apps, and other frameworks that run on the CoreCLR runtime. It will also be adapted to WebAssembly, iOS, and Android apps that run on Mono in the future.

  • System.Text.Json now supports serializing IAsyncEnumerable <T> objects as JSON arrays, enabling (de) serialization with IAsyncEnumerable <T> objects.

  • It provides an API to bypass the complexity of serialization and the traditional cost of a DOM by implementing the writeable JSON DOM feature for Text.Json.

  • Improved performance of FileStream on Windows.

On April 8, Preview 3 featured the following improvements and additions:

  • Several changes have been made to RyuJIT to increase efficiency or speed up the resulting code generation.

  • The ASP.NET Core and Blazor projects that use .Net watch have begun supporting .NET Hot Reload. There is a broader plan to bring this technology to all .NET developers, including desktop and cross-platform client development in .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) and much more.

  • Update struct values in dictionaries faster with CollectionsMarshal.GetValueRef, a new dangerous API. This API is designed for situations that require a lot of processing power.

  • The performance of interface casting has been enhanced by 16% to 38%, which is very advantageous for C# pattern matching to as well as between interfaces.

Preview 2

Was released on March 17 and included API and library changes, as well as early releases of.NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI), a modern UI toolkit based on Xamarin.

ohh

Microsoft's bulletin on Preview 2 also stressed platform themes including enhancing "inner loop" efficiency, which refers to streamlining the tools and procedures that developers use to update, create, and verify their code on a regular basis.

For instance, will boost developer efficiency by allowing code to be modified while an application is running without the need for a debugger.

The inner loops theme also includes the efficiency of runtime initialization, application models, the .net CLI, and MSBuild.

Improved client app development, particularly a more cohesive mobile offering for.NET, is just another theme.

iOS, Android, and MacOS development will be merged into the.NET SDK and will use.NET libraries as part of this project.

Furthermore, the Xamarin forms cross-UI framework will evolve into.NET MAUI, allowing designers to develop apps for Android, Windows, and MacOS from the same codebase.

Blazor apps will be able to run freely on Windows and MacOS thanks to the .NET MAUI framework.

The inclusion of APIs and enhancements to.NET libraries were also highlighted by Microsoft.

In addition, when serializing an object graph, JsonSerializer (System.Tex.Json) now offers the ability to disregard cycles and PriorityQueueTElement.TPriority> is a new series that allows the inclusion of additional items with a value and a priority.

Improved parsing of standard numeric forms, as well as performance and JIT enhancements, were included in Preview 2.

Android and iOS were the first two platforms featured in MAUI, according to Preview 1, which was released on February 17.

MacOS and Windows desktop support will be included in future versions.

For a native application container and native application container controls, Blazor, which is developed on top of MAUI, uses the UI stack.
