EF Core 3 to target .NET Standard 2.0 

.NET Core -- Choices 

This release is primarily focused on bug fixes, but it contains a few new features as well.

Here’s what’s new in this release for ASP.NET Core:

• Partial class support for Razor components
• Pass parameters to top-level components
• Support for shared queues in HttpSysServer
• Breaking changes for SameSite cookies 

Today, we’re announcing .NET Core 3.1 Preview 1. .NET Core 3.1 will be a small release focused on key improvements in Blazor and Windows desktop, the two big additions in .NET Core 3.0. It will be a long term support (LTS) release with an expected final ship date of December 2019. 

With .NET Core 3.0, we’re at the point where we’ve ported all technologies that are required for modern workloads, be that desktop apps, mobile apps, console apps, web sites, or cloud services. 

The consolidated repositories are going to be about .NET 5 and going forward. It will not be possible to build .NET Core 3.1 or earlier from these repositories. 

.NET Tools are great, and we've known them for a while in .NET Core as ".NET Core Global Tools", but often we don't want these tools not to be shared globally across our machine. This is where "Local Tools" come in handy, introduced in .NET Core SDK 3.0.
