Microsoft has released a seventh preview of its forthcoming .NET 9 software development platform, with enhancements to C# for API authors. The .NET runtime, SDK, and other areas also are improved.

During the deprecation phase, no new features will be added and Microsoft will only be addressing critical vulnerabilities.

The company apologized for ‘inadvertently’ removing the Hot Reload capability from the .NET SDK repo, and will include it in the GA build of the .NET 6 SDK.
