We’re excited to share all the new features and improvements in .NET 8 Preview 4! This release is a follow-up to the Preview 3 release. You’ll continue to see many more features show up with these monthly releases. .NET 6 and 7 users will want to follow this release closely since we have focused on making it a straightforward upgrade path. 

In any good programming reference, you will read that a developer has to document his code, not only for him/herself, but also for the person who, ten years later will be asked to maintain it. This would, of course, be made easier thanks to a good documentation of existing code. 

ASP.NET Core 8 and .NET 8 bring many exciting performance improvements. In this blog post, we will highlight some of the enhancements made in ASP.NET Core and show you how they can boost your web app’s speed and efficiency.
