• C# 9.0: primary constructors
• Support for .NET 5 custom calling conventions
• Improved support for Unsafe-intrinsics

UI Improvements

• Dark mode (@tom-englert in #2347)
• .NET bundles and Nuget packages are now directly embedded in the tree view
• Search enabled in NuGet packages
• Added setting highlight the current line in the code view (see #2224, by @DickvdBrink)
• Simple UI language switching support
