Announcing .NET 6 Preview 5
We are thrilled to release .NET 6 Preview 5. We’re now in the second-half of the .NET 6 release, and starting to see significant features coming together. A great example is .NET SDK Workloads, which is the foundation of our .NET unification vision and enables supporting more application types. Like other features, it is coming together to provide a compelling end-to-end user experience.
See the ASP.NET Core, EF Core, and .NET MAUI posts for more detail on what’s new for web, data access, and cross-platform UI scenarios.
Visual Studio 2022 Preview 1 is also releasing today and .NET 6 Preview 5 is included in that release. .NET 6 has also been tested with Visual Studio 16.11 and Visual Studio for Mac 8.9. We recommend you use those builds if you want to try .NET 6 with Visual Studio.
SDK workloads is a new .NET SDK feature that enables us to add support for new application types — like mobile and WebAssembly — without increasing the size of the SDK.
