Announcing .NET 7 Preview 1
Today, we are excited to announce the next milestone in the history of .NET. While celebrating the community and 20 years of innovation, .NET 7 Preview 1 marks the first step forward towards the next 20 years of .NET.
ASP.NET Core Preview 1 and EF7 Preview 1 are also released today.
.NET 7 builds on the foundation established by .NET 6, which includes a unified set of base libraries, runtime, and SDK, a simplified development experience, and higher developer productivity. Major areas of focus for .NET 7 include improved support for cloud native scenarios, tools to make it easier to upgrade legacy projects, and simplifying the developer experience by making it easier to work with containers.
.NET 7 Preview 1 includes annotations to APIs to support nullability, ongoing JIT compiler optimizations, new APIs, and support for more hot reload scenarios.
Microsoft has announced the release of the first preview release of .NET 7.
