In .NET 7, we've finished the moving the thread pool to be fully managed. The timer queue and the windows IO thread pool have been moved to managed code.

New Features

• Comes with Git v2.28.0.
• Comes with subversion v1.14.0.
• Comes with the designated successor of Git Credential Manager for Windows (GCM for Windows), the cross-platform Git Credential Manager Core. For now, this is opt-in, with the idea of eventually retiring GCM for Windows.
• Comes with cURL v7.71.1.
• Comes with Perl v5.32.0.
• Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin 3.1.6 (including the improvements of Cygwin 3.1.5).
• Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.2.21. 

Working as a .NET Professional is a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of emotional highs and crushing lows. It’s likely the same for other communities, with different flavors of success and failures. I have over a decade of .NET development work, and I am here to share some general mantras that have served me well. 

.NET 7 brings your apps increased performance and new features for C# 11/F# 7, .NET MAUI, ASP.NET Core/Blazor, Web APIs, WinForms, WPF and more. With .NET 7, you can also easily containerize your .NET 7 projects, set up CI/CD workflows in GitHub actions, and achieve cloud-native observability.

Thanks to the open-source .NET community for your numerous contributions that helped shape this .NET 7 release. 28k contributions made by over 8900 contributors throughout the .NET 7 release!

.NET remains one of the fastest, most loved, and trusted platforms with an expansive .NET package ecosystem that includes over 330,000 packages. 

a new site for browsing nuget packages. It is my best attempt to build a tool to help you both discover new packages and to dig in deep to learn them once found.

Today we released .NET 7 Preview 5. This preview of .NET 7 includes improvements to Generic Math which make the lives of API authors easier, a new Text Classification API for ML.NET that adds state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for natural language processing, various improvements to source code generators and a new Roslyn analyzer and fixer for RegexGenerator and multiple performance improvements in the areas of CodeGen, Observability, JSON serialization / deserialization and working with streams. 

With the latest release of ASP.NET Core, developers are wondering what the next step is for their web apps and how to convert it over to the new ASP.NET Core.
