There are some really awesome new features—RTL!—that have been added in this release, and they’ve come with some important changes. 

This .NET Core SDK release includes the following released .NET Core and ASP.NET Core Runtimes.

• .NET Core SDK 3.1.403
• .NET Core Runtime 3.1.9
• ASP.NET Core 3.1.9 

Rider
Fixed launching iOS apps on Xcode 12 simulators (RIDER-50673).

ReSharper
Fixed restoring unit test sessions with continuous testing: they now persist through solution reopening (RSRP-481297).
 

Today, we are shipping .NET 5.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC1). It is a near-final release of .NET 5.0, and the first of two RCs before the official release in November. RC1 is a “go live” release; you are supported using it in production. 

The ReSharper 2020.2.2 and Rider 2020.2.2 Bug-fix Updates Are Here! 

Today, we are releasing .NET 5.0 Preview 8. The .NET 5.0 release is now “feature complete”, meaning that very nearly all features are in their final form (with the exception of bug fixes still to come). Preview 8 is, appropriately, the last preview. We plan on releasing two go-live release candidates before the final .NET 5.0 release in November. This post describes a selection of features across the .NET 5.0 release.
