.NET Core 3.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is now available. This release contains only a handful of bug fixes and closely represents what we expect to release for .NET Core 3.0.
.NET Core, the reinvention of the Microsoft .NET Framework as an open source, cross-platform development choice, is a key focus of the upcoming features planned for the Visual Studio IDE.
In conjunction with .NET Standard -- a spec detailing what .NET APIs should be available on all .NET implementations -- .NET Core retains compatibility with .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono while letting developers use Windows, macOS or Linux machines to code for mobile, cloud and embedded/IoT projects.
While still primarily driven by Microsoft dev teams, .NET Core is hosted on a GitHub repository and is supported by the .NET Foundation, an independent organization created by Microsoft three years ago to improve its open source development and collaboration.
Peeking at the Visual Studio Roadmap (updated last week) reveals .NET Core figures prominently in upcoming functionality for the IDE, both in the near-term and long:
.NET 6 will reach end of support on Nov 12, 2024. After that, Microsoft will no longer provide updates for .NET 6. Security fixes and technical support will no longer be available for .NET 6. You’ll need to update to .NET 8 before this date to stay supported.
