Today, we will go through what's new and hot in .NET 7. I know you're a busy developer, and keeping up with what is happening is hard. That's why I am telling you everything you need to know.
PowerShell 7.3 is built on top of .NET 7 and as a non-LTS (Long Term Support) release will be supported for 18 months. PowerShell 7.2 is still the current LTS (3-year supported) release of PowerShell.
NET Conf is our annual virtual developer event co-organized by the .NET community and Microsoft and sponsored by the .NET Foundation and ecosystem partners. It is a chance to learn and get inspired for your next software project. You will learn to build for web, mobile, cloud, desktop, games, services, libraries and more for a variety of platforms and devices all with .NET. We have sessions for everyone, no matter if you are just beginning or are a seasoned engineer. We’ll have presentations on .NET 7, C# 11, Azure, Visual Studio, and much more.
Entity Framework Core (EF Core) 7 is available on NuGet today!
EF Core 7 is the successor to EF Core 6, and can be referred to as EF7 for brevity. EF Core 7 contains many features that help in porting “classic” EF6 applications to use EF7. As such, we encourage people to upgrade existing classic EF applications to use EF7 where possible. See Porting from EF6 to EF Core for more information.
The .NET 7 release marks an exciting milestone in many ways, but one in particular that’s exciting for ASP.NET developers building distributed apps or apps designed to be cloud native and ready for dynamic horizontal scale out is the addition of the Orleans team to the broader .NET team. Bringing Orleans and ASP.NET Core closer together has led to some exciting ideas for the future of how we blend Orleans into the ASP.NET toolchain, and coupled with the huge advances in performance throughout .NET 7 are improvements to Orleans 7 that bring over 150% improvements to some areas of the Orleans toolchain. This post will introduce you to some of the new features in Orleans 7.
