Microsoft today officially announced the release date of the next feature update for Windows 10, formerly referred to as the "Spring Creators Update" but known officially as the "Windows 10 April 2018 Update." 

Updates to .NET Framework 4.8 on Windows 8.1, Server 2012 R2, Server 2012, Windows 7 SP1, and Server 2008 R2 SP1 will continue to be delivered outside of the Windows cumulative update through the existing .NET Framework updates. 

C# vNext Features with Status
This page contains the list of features the C# team is currently working on and their progress status.
When a feature status is "Merged" this means that the work to implement the feature is complete and available in the next preview version.

Git Security Vulnerability

We also fixed a security vulnerability in Git that was disclosed by the Git community. The vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution when a user clones a malicious repository. This blog post has more information.
