This Friday we published the Unity engine and editor C# source code on GitHub, under a reference-only license. 

The winner in terms of serialize speed is again FlatBuffer which still has the lowest overhead, but you need to go through a more complex compiler chain to generate the de/serialization code. The new entry MemoryPack is second which is the newest serializer 

AutoMapper has been a popular library in the .NET open source community for a long time. As their site says:

AutoMapper is a simple little library built to solve a deceptively complex problem - getting rid of code that mapped one object to another. This type of code is rather dreary and boring to write, so why not invent a tool to do it for us? 

A fantastic writeup (from a TC39 member, no less) of how Bloomberg (the financial media company) adopted TypeScript and now has 2,000 full-time JavaScript engineers. Curiously we also learn that Bloomberg also have their own JavaScript runtime built around the V8 engine.

A Second Set of Bug Fixes: ReSharper 2023.2.2 and Rider 2023.2.2 Are Here! 

A Guide to Claims-Based Identity and Access Control, Second Edition - Book Download  

Various .NET Core repos have switched their master branches to "5.0", and will use 3.x branches for 3.0 and 3.1 projects. This is very similar to how we approached 2.x and 3.0 projects. As context, master branches produced 3.0 builds for the entire period of the 2.2 project. 

For .NET 6, we have made FileStream much faster and more reliable, thanks to an almost entire re-write. For same cases, the async implementation is now a few times faster!
