Today we released .NET 7 Preview 5. This preview of .NET 7 includes improvements to Generic Math which make the lives of API authors easier, a new Text Classification API for ML.NET that adds state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for natural language processing, various improvements to source code generators and a new Roslyn analyzer and fixer for RegexGenerator and multiple performance improvements in the areas of CodeGen, Observability, JSON serialization / deserialization and working with streams. 

Today we are proud to announce the official release of Vue.js 3.0 "One Piece". This new major version of the framework provides improved performance, smaller bundle sizes, better TypeScript integration, new APIs for tackling large scale use cases, and a solid foundation for long-term future iterations of the framework. 

Top Issues Fixed in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4.6

• Miscompile, boolean condition deduced to be always true.
• Issue with loop unroll in Visual Studio 2019 compiler
• CL (VC v19.24) crashes when building in a docker volume folder
• CL (VC v19.22) crashes when it starts with the /ZI parameter in the docker container
• Compiling SSE intrinsics with MSVC compiler 19.20: compiled code yields incorrect results in one specific case
• C++ AMP code will not compile in Visual Studio 2019 16.3.1
• Sometimes coroutine_handle<>::destroy() resumes coroutine instead of destroying it.
• New Spectre mitigation options in C++ compiler: /Qspectre-load & /Qspectre-load-cf for speculative load hardening.
  

Security Advisory Notice

• CVE-2020-0793 & CVE-2020-0810 Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
