.NET Core, the reinvention of the Microsoft .NET Framework as an open source, cross-platform development choice, is a key focus of the upcoming features planned for the Visual Studio IDE.

In conjunction with .NET Standard -- a spec detailing what .NET APIs should be available on all .NET implementations -- .NET Core retains compatibility with .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono while letting developers use Windows, macOS or Linux machines to code for mobile, cloud and embedded/IoT projects.

While still primarily driven by Microsoft dev teams, .NET Core is hosted on a GitHub repository and is supported by the .NET Foundation, an independent organization created by Microsoft three years ago to improve its open source development and collaboration.

Peeking at the Visual Studio Roadmap (updated last week) reveals .NET Core figures prominently in upcoming functionality for the IDE, both in the near-term and long:  

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture—often with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service improperly handles file operations

Top Issues Fixed in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6.2

• Visual Studio 2019 16.60 hang at run or build when modified not saved in C++/CLI project
• An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualStudio.DesignTools.WpfTap.dll
• Recurring null reference when reopening documents
• "Create new project" dialog search does not find templates for third-party language providers
• IntelliSense shows that "tilde-slash" (~/) points to ASP .NET Core 3.1 project root instread of wwwroot subfolder after upgrading Visual Studio Enterprise 16.5.6->16.6.0
• Fixed a compiler error (error C2475: redefinition; 'constexpr' specifier mismatch) affecting std::atomic when compiled as C++/CX in C++17 mode.
• URL completion values and format was fixed in Razor views. App-relative URL format is now used again and the values in the URL completion list show files and folders rooted under app root, i.e. wwwroot.

A Hitchhikers Guide to the CoreCLR Source Code 

○ No sorting option, or a good paging story
○ SQL Injection, without any other alternative
○ Hard to deploy and to keep current with your codebase
○ Poor development story & no testing story
○ Poor client API
○ Lots of table scans
○ Limited queries and few optimization options
○ Single document transactions (from the client)
○ No cross collection transations at all
○ Very small document sizes allowed
