• New interaction utilities. Quickly set user-select with the new utilities and Sass map.
• New Reboot style for pointer cursors. We now include a role="button" selector in Reboot to set cursor: pointer on non-<button> element buttons.
• Examples are now downloadable. We’ve added a script to zip up and offer all our Examples as their own download from the docs.
• Saved ~5% from the compressed minified JS builds.

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. 

With .NET 5, the word 'Core' is being removed. But what about ASP.NET Core? Is the word 'Core' being removed from that?

Overall, .NET 5 demonstrates a significant performance improvement over .NET Framework in XAP’s scenario. While there is still more work to do, the overall picture is clear that .NET 5 is phenomenally superior in most respects. 

Entity Framework Core (EF Core) 7 is available on NuGet today!

EF Core 7 is the successor to EF Core 6, and can be referred to as EF7 for brevity. EF Core 7 contains many features that help in porting “classic” EF6 applications to use EF7. As such, we encourage people to upgrade existing classic EF applications to use EF7 where possible. See Porting from EF6 to EF Core for more information. 

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? 

Starting with .NET Core 3.0 Preview 7, the .NET Core SDK installer will remove previous patch versions after a successful installation. This means that if you have 3.0 Preview 5 and Preview 7 on a machine then install Preview 7, only Preview 7 will remain once the process is complete.
