As you might know .NET Core 3 was released a couple of days ago and it came with some exciting features including adding Windows Forms and WPF, new JSON APIs, support for ARM64 and improving performance. C# 8 is also part of this release, which includes nullable, async streams, and more patterns. F# 4.7 is included and you can start updating existing projects to target .NET Core 3.0 today since there is backwards compatibility.
You can download .NET Core 3.0, for Windows, macOS, and Linux:
Key Improvements
- Performance is greatly improved across many components
- C# 8 add async streams, range/index, more patterns, and nullable reference types and many more as seen here.
- F# 4.7 focuses on making some thing easier. You can read more at Announcing F# 4.7.
- .NET Standard 2.1 increases the set of types you can use in code that can be used with both .NET Core and Xamarin.
- Windows Desktop apps are now supported with .NET Core, for both Windows Forms and WPF (and open source).
- .NET Core apps now have executables by default.
- High performance JSON APIs have been added, for reader/writer, object model and serialization scenarios.
- The garbage collector uses less memory by default, often a lot less.
- .NET Core has been hardened for Docker to enable .NET applications to work predictably and efficiently in containers.
- Raspberry Pi and ARM chips are now supported to enable IoT development, including with the remote Visual Studio debugger.
