As we prepare the general availability (GA) release of .NET 9 in November we are adding our final touches around performance, stability, and any additional optimizations to make it the best release of .NET 9. Today, we are excited to announce the release of .NET 9 Release Candidate 2. As with Release Candidate 1, this release is covered by a go-live license so you can receive support when using it in your production applications. We encourage developers today to try out this latest release and give the teams feedback on anything that you find in your development so we can incorporate any additional enhancements into the final release.
