Since its original release in 2002, C# has been regularly updated with new features. Today, we will look at the most important new features of each major language version and explore how the C# code we have been writing, has evolved through years.  

One of the challenges with developing and maintaining cross-platform C++ code is dealing with different C++ compilers for different platforms.

To reduce allocations and memory usage when serializing Json.NET 8.0 adds a new IArrayPool interface. Json.NET is already very lean when it comes to allocations, working with raw characters on array buffers instead of allocated strings, but those buffers can easily grow large, and a new buffer is created each time JSON is read or written. IArrayPool allows array buffers to be reused, similar to connection pooling with a database, or thread pooling in .NET. 

Do not declare virtual events in a base class and override them in a derived class. The C# compiler does not handle these correctly, and it is unpredictable whether a subscriber to the derived event will actually be subscribing to the base class event 

However, it is clear that Microsoft’s future direction is in the Core space .
