If you maintain an open-source project in the range of 10k-200k lines of code, I strongly encourage you to add an ARCHITECTURE document next to README and CONTRIBUTING. Before going into the details of why and how, I want to emphasize that this is not another “docs are good, write more docs” advice. I am pretty sloppy about documentation, and, eg, I often use just “simplify” as a commit message. Nonetheless, I feel strongly about the issue, even to the point of pestering you:-) 

To be clear: this is not Silverlight. This is, in fact, a re-implementation of Silverlight that uses Web Assembly instead of browser plugins to achieve its goals.

Improper Authentication and Session Management

Most web applications have an authentication module, and we should be careful when writing code for it. We could make mistakes like not removing the authentication cookies after a successful logout. This kind of mistake allows attackers to steal user credentials such as cookies and session values, and may result in attackers being able to access the complete application and cause major negative impacts.
 

Hackers are smart and users are not being able to cope with their pace of evolution. The result is malware outbreaks we get to know about frequently. Windows is the most widely used OS on Pcs. That makes it the most widely targeted OS too. What is an average user’s (by average I mean not too technical)  defense in such case? The anti malware programs. Of course, you have to pay a decent price for your PC to be secured from latest malware derivatives, but what’s better than to get the security for no cost? 

If you want to stay in touch with the latest developments in any field, you should be aware of the conferences and events regarding those topics. Thanks to the pandemic, all the conferences and events have taken the online route. Well, the best part is that it has become accessible to everyone. You do not even have to apply for official leaves to attend them.

These are the customer-reported issues addressed in this release:
- The debugger cannot continue running the process. Operation not supported. Unknown error: 0x9233000b.
- Recent Projects and Solutions not populated once executed.
- Full build every time with 15.5.
- Wrong IntelliSense errors are still shown on VS 15.5.2 for Visual Basic projects.
- VS2017 15.5.2 Unresolved references when "Allow parallel project initialization" is enabled.
- Upgrading to 15.5.2: cannot launch nor repair VS.
- VS2017 Installation issue.
- Unable to install because of BSoD.

The conclusion of the analysis:
C# Wasm AOT still has a long way to become a general and performant client side web programming platform. Note: The usage of the Uno.Wasm.Bootstrap toolchain may have affected the performance of some of the benchmarks. Thus, this analysis should not be regarded as a benchmark of the finalized product. However, note that the Uno platform is using ".NET 6 WebAssembly Mixed mode AOT/Interpreter" (source). 

These are the customer-reported issues addressed in 15.8.2:

• Publish single file context menu item missing.
• Git network operations not working: Cannot spawn git-askpass.exe.
• "Visual C++ Resource Editor Package" load failed.
• Preview Transform gives error.
• Cannot type close brace.
• Object reference not set to an instance of an object when deploying Service Fabric project after update 15.8.0.
• "The given path's format is not supported" installation error.
• Task ExpandPriContent failed. Illegal characters in path.
• "Could not create instance of type System.Collections.Genertic.Iset'1[Signer]" installer error.
• Service fabric deployment fails in 15.8.0.
• Cannot create app package for Windows store.
• Incorrect code generation for strongly-typed resources.
• Keyboard binding for Italian layout.
• IntelliSense broken #9999.
• When working on a Unity project and Unity rewrites multiple project files, the Visual Studio Tools for Unity will now automatically reload the solution.
• The customer will now get a dialog to close Office applications if they are blocking the Visual Studio install and causing a failure of 1303.
