These are the customer-reported issues addressed in this version:

Visual Studio crashes when you open a solution with a test project.
Visual Studio Freezes in Debug with Chrome.
Failure to install HelpViewer.
UI delay while typing R code.
C# 7.0 Regression in Tuples.

Xamarin – Dynamic object is not supported.
Xamarin - Xamarin.iOS: ArgumentNullException for instruction parameter in Mono.Linker's MarkException() method.

First, the decoupling of .NET from Windows
Second, the newfound focus on CLR performance
Third, moving .NET’s tooling to a cross-platform model
Fourth, the .NET user base is embracing the OSS ecosystem as a whole
Fifth, in general the direction on .NET development is pushing users further down into the details of the stack
Sixth, Microsoft’s platform work being done out in the open

DotSpatial is a geographic information system library written for .NET Framework. It allows developers to incorporate spatial data, analysis and mapping functionality into their applications or to contribute GIS extensions to the community.

DotSpatial provides a map control for .NET and several GIS capabilities including:

• Display a map in a .NET Windows Forms.
• Open shapefiles, grids, rasters and images.
• Render symbology and labels.
• Reproject on the fly.
• Manipulate and display attribute data.
• Scientific analysis.
• Read GPS data. 

 In short, we’re making Xamarin’s cross-platform tools available in Visual Studio, from Community up through Enterprise at no additional cost and we’re open-sourcing the Xamarin SDK – the core of the Xamarin toolchain. In addition, we’re making Xamarin’s services (for example, Test Cloud and Xamarin University) available along with the existing Microsoft mobile DevOps capabilities.
