Today we are releasing the first preview of Visual Studio 2017 version 15.5. You can either download it from here, or if you already have Preview installed, you’ll receive a notification that the update is available. 

The .NET Portability Analyzer is a free Visual Studio Add-in (or console app) that will give you a detailed report on how portable your code is. 

Building off the improvements to the managed sockets implementation in .NET Core we have changed the default transport in Kestrel from libuv to sockets.  

longer importantIt is quite a possible situation to have a user navigating to the client application’s page that sends an HTTP request to the server. While our app processing the request, a user can navigate away from that page. In such a case, we want to cancel the HTTP request since the response is no  to that user. 

The conclusion of the analysis:
C# Wasm AOT still has a long way to become a general and performant client side web programming platform. Note: The usage of the Uno.Wasm.Bootstrap toolchain may have affected the performance of some of the benchmarks. Thus, this analysis should not be regarded as a benchmark of the finalized product. However, note that the Uno platform is using ".NET 6 WebAssembly Mixed mode AOT/Interpreter" (source). 

IKVM.NET includes the following components:

• A Java virtual machine (JVM) implemented in .NET
• A .NET implementation of the Java class libraries
• A tool that translates Java bytecode (JAR files) to .NET IL (DLLs or EXE files).
• Tools that enable Java and .NET interoperability
