We’re excited to announce the release of .NET Core 3.0. It includes many improvements, including adding Windows Forms and WPF, adding new JSON APIs, support for ARM64 and improving performance across the board. C# 8 is also part of this release, which includes nullable, async streams, and more patterns. F# 4.7 is included, and focused on relaxing syntax and targeting .NET Standard 2.0. You can start updating existing projects to target .NET Core 3.0 today. The release is compatible with previous versions, making updating easy. 

Finally, Standard Edition customers have a replacement for Database Mirroring, which has been deprecated.

The .NET 7 release marks an exciting milestone in many ways, but one in particular that’s exciting for ASP.NET developers building distributed apps or apps designed to be cloud native and ready for dynamic horizontal scale out is the addition of the Orleans team to the broader .NET team. Bringing Orleans and ASP.NET Core closer together has led to some exciting ideas for the future of how we blend Orleans into the ASP.NET toolchain, and coupled with the huge advances in performance throughout .NET 7 are improvements to Orleans 7 that bring over 150% improvements to some areas of the Orleans toolchain. This post will introduce you to some of the new features in Orleans 7.
