Web application development has evolved with the rise of new technologies and frameworks. Two of the most popular technologies for building interactive web applications are Blazor and React. In this article, we will compare Blazor and React and highlight their differences with examples.

This issue represents the list of major investments our team will focus on during the .NET 7 timeframe. It does not include all the features and bugfixes we will be tackling during this time. 

PostSharp 6.0 is the biggest refactoring since the 2.0 version released in July 2010. For a good cause: PostSharp 6.0 now runs natively in .NET Core 2.0. Previous versions of PostSharp executed only under .NET Framework at build time and the support for .NET Core was achieved by using a load of hacks that ended up being unmaintainable, warranting this big refactoring.

Let’s have a look at the new features of PostSharp 6.0 :

• Support for .NET Core 2.0-2.1 and .NET Standard 2.0.
• Support for Portable PDB.
• Support for C# 7.2.
• Ending the PostSharp versioning hell side-by-side: backward compatibility within the same major version.
• Logging: robustness to faults in the logging subsystem.
• Logging: no need to initialize before the first logged method is hit.
• Caching: preventing concurrent execution (locking).
• Visual Studio tooling: support for the new CPS-based project systems.
• GDPR compliance: we no longer collect your name and email for trial, nor use unsecure HTTP, nor use non-resettable user id hashes. 

Entity Framework is Microsoft’s flagship Object/Relation Mapper, and the recommended way to access relational databases. Entity Framework Core is a complete rewrite from the “classic” Entity Framework, building on the new multiplatform .NET Core framework and adding the ability to connect to nonrelational data sources while keeping the features that made Entity Framework Code First so popular.
