In this episode, Rich is joined by Merrie and Klaus who walk us through some of the new capabilities available for VB .NET developers building WinForms applications 

• Fixed issue when using HotRestart to deploy iOS application.
• Fixed and issue where Xamarin.iOS fails to build with MessagingRemoteException.
• Fixed an issue which would place constant-initialized static local 'const' variables in 'inline' functions which were previously dynamically-initialized in the read-only data segment. This can cause compatibility issues when linking against OBJs compiled with older toolsets.
• Fixed a build error in Xamarin.Android projects that could be encountered when Android layout files contain certain characters.
• Fixed an issue with .resx localization at runtime for Xamarin.Android applications.
• C++ IntelliSense vcpkgsrv.exe frequently crashes with set_parent_scope_on_push.
• Fixed WMI Provider component installation failure.
• Fixed a crash in some cases when displaying the Quick Info tooltip for C++ code.
• Fixed a crash when closing Visual Studio.
• Adds Xcode 11.5 SDK support
• Removes abstract modifier to BGTask

"Going forward, we do not plan to evolve Visual Basic as a language," the .NET team said. "This supports language stability and maintains compatibility between the .NET Core and .NET Framework versions of Visual Basic. Future features of .NET Core that require language changes may not be supported in Visual Basic. Due to differences in the platform, there will be some differences between Visual Basic on .NET Framework and .NET Core."
