Bootstrap v5.1.1 has landed with a handful of bug fixes and documentation improvements. Following this release, we’ll be shipping another bugfix and docs update before moving onto additional new features. Keep reading for the highlights. 

Things are looking different in 2021. Meet the fresh, new Firefox. Our product design team obsessed over every detail — the result is a beautiful, streamlined experience that delivers more efficiency and privacy than ever before. 

Customers currently using .NET Framework 4.5.2, 4.6, or 4.6.1 need to update their deployed runtime to a more recent version – at least .NET Framework 4.6.2 before April 26, 2022 – in order to continue to receive updates and technical support. 

In Entity Framework 4.1+ we would validate entities before sending them to the database. We don’t perform validation in EF Core, but there is a quick way to add at least some of it back. 

Filters in ASP.NET MVC allow you to run code before or after a particular stage in the execution pipeline. Filters can be configured globally, per-controller, or per-action. 

I've always said that when a new version of something comes out, you should always "let the scouts take the arrows." Basically, let the testers see if everything is ok before giving the go-ahead to start using it.
