Notable Changes in 3.0.0 Preview 7
Here is list of some of the additions and updates we're excited to bring in Preview 7. See the .NET and ASP.NET Core blogs for additional details.
.NET Core SDK Size Improvements
SOS Update:
SOS no longer ships as part of the .NET Core runtime. SOS now ships out of band and works with any version of the runtime. Instructions to install the new out of band SOS is available at https://github.com/dotnet/diagnostics#installing-sos.
The SOS source code and documentation has moved to the diagnostics repo here: https://github.com/dotnet/diagnostics.
NetTrace replaces NetPerf format:
The NetPerf format is obsolete and has now been replaced with NetTrace format which serves the identical role. The format is supported in Visual Studio 2019 starting with 16.3 Preview 1, TraceEvent version 2.0.43 and PerfView version 2.0.44.
The most visible change is that trace files should be smaller than before. It is also faster to write, supports some new metadata on events, and makes some parsing scenarios more efficient. For more details see the file format spec.
Lifecycle News
Debian 10 has been released (GA) and will be supported by .NET Core 3.0 going forward.
As described in .NET Core OS Lifecycle Policy, we will no longer test .NET Core or produce updates for OS versions which are out of standard support or are end of life.
