Google is bringing AMP, its cut-down version of HTML, to email. Starting today, Gmail on the Web will be able to support embedded AMP content, with support rolling out to mobile clients later.  

Angular 1.4 soon will be finally out and the most shiny new feature is the new router. It’s fantastic news that it will be also used on the future Angular 2.0 as well. 

- Reduce start up time by loading finished code first models from a persistent cache
- Fluent API to define indexes
- DbFunctions.Like() to enable writing LINQ queries that translate to LIKE in SQL
- Migrate.exe should support -script option
- EF6 does not work with primary key from sequence
- Update error numbers for SQL Azure Execution Strategy
- Bug: Retrying queries or SQL commands fails with “The SqlParameter is already contained by another SqlParameterCollection”
- Bug: Evaluation of DbQuery.ToString() frequently times out in the debugger

The consolidated repositories are going to be about .NET 5 and going forward. It will not be possible to build .NET Core 3.1 or earlier from these repositories. 

Starting with .NET 5 Visual Basic will support:

• Class Library
• Console
• Windows Forms
• WPF
• Worker Service
• ASP.NET Core Web API
