.NET Core Roadmap | ||
================= | ||
|
||
.NET Core is a general purpose, modular, cross-platform and open source implementation of .NET. It includes a runtime, framework libraries, compilers and tools that support a variety of chip and OS targets. These components can be used together or separately. | ||
# .NET Core Roadmap | ||
|
||
Our primary focus is to get the .NET Core 1.0 tooling to RTM quality for the | ||
Visual Studio 2017 RTM ([please try the 2017 RC update][vs2017-rc] we shipped | ||
today with improvements in this area). | ||
|
||
However, we are also starting to think of the next version of the runtime. | ||
Because of this, if you follow our repositories you will start to see .NET Core | ||
2.0 versioning. While we are still in the process of planning the next release, | ||
there are some big themes you will identify in the early work on GitHub: | ||
|
||
[vs2017-rc]: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/12/12/updating-visual-studio-2017-rc-net-core-tooling-improvements/ | ||
|
||
* **.NET Standard 2.0**. Having a large set of common APIs that are consistent | ||
across .NET Framework, .NET Core and Xamarin making it easier to share code | ||
across those platforms and making it easier for package authors to build NuGet | ||
packages. .NET Core gain over 5,000 APIs from .NET Framework as part of this | ||
work. You can follow this work in the | ||
[dotnet/standard](https://github.com/dotnet/standard) repo. | ||
|
||
* **.NET Core Tooling**. Evolve the tooling aligned with the next .NET Core | ||
runtime release. This will include tooling for choosing which .NET Core | ||
version to target, to change the version of .NET Core for existing projects, | ||
full package IntelliSense in .csproj files and more. You can follow this work | ||
in the | ||
[dotnet/roslyn-project-system](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn-project-system), | ||
[dotnet/sdk](https://github.com/dotnet/sdk), and | ||
[microsoft/msbuild](https://github.com/microsoft/msbuild) repos. | ||
|
||
* **Performance**. Continue to make the performance of building .NET Core | ||
applications faster, especially in the inner loop. This is the cycle of | ||
changing the source code and then restarting the application and making that | ||
as fast as possible. You can follow this work | ||
[dotnet/corefxlab](https://github.com/dotnet/corefxlab/blob/master/docs/roadmap.md) | ||
repo. | ||
|
||
* **.NET Core and Cloud**. Continue to improve how you run .NET Core | ||
applications in Azure. Better logging, tracing and diagnosing errors in your | ||
applications when running in the cloud. You can follow this work in the | ||
[dotnet/corefx](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx) and | ||
[aspnet](https://github.com/aspnet) repos. | ||
|
||
* **Build from Source**. Make it very easy to clone the .NET Core repository and | ||
GitHub and build the product. Great for experimenting with customizing the | ||
product or trying to get it to run on Linux distributions other than the ones | ||
we officially support. You can follow the bulk of the work in the | ||
[dotnet/coreclr](https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr) and | ||
[dotnet/corefx](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx) repos. | ||
|
||
As mentioned above these are just some of the early themes we are going to | ||
invest in. After we ship VS 2017 RTM you will hear more from us on the next | ||
version of .NET Core, and as always let us know what is important to you. | ||
|
||
## Ship Dates | ||
|
||

# Components | ||
|
||
.NET Core is a general purpose, modular, cross-platform and open source | ||
implementation of .NET. It includes a runtime, framework libraries, compilers | ||
and tools that support a variety of chip and OS targets. These components can be | ||
used together or separately. | ||
|
||
Major .NET Core components: | ||
- [Runtime](https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr) | ||
- [Libraries](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx) | ||
- [C#/VB compiler](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn) | ||
- [CLI tools](https://github.com/dotnet/cli) | ||
- [NuGet](https://github.com/NuGet/Home) | ||
- [MSBuild](https://github.com/microsoft/msbuild) | ||
|
||
This roadmap is intended to communicate project priorities for evolving and extending the scope of .NET Core. | ||
|
||
Ship Dates | ||
---------- | ||
|
||
At Microsoft, .NET has always been an important component of other teams' products and has largely shipped on their schedules. It means that we have to take their dates seriously and integrate them into the .NET Core schedule. | ||
|
||
|Milestone|Release Date| | ||
|---------|------------| | ||
|1.2 | Spring 2017| | ||
|
||
Planned 1.2 features | ||
-------------------- | ||
|
||
- .NET Standard 2.0 support, bringing .NET Core to parity with .NET Framework and Mono for a large collection of base types. | ||
* [Runtime](https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr) | ||
* [Libraries](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx) | ||
* [C#/VB compiler](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn) | ||
* [CLI tools](https://github.com/dotnet/cli) | ||
* [NuGet](https://github.com/NuGet/Home) | ||
* [MSBuild](https://github.com/microsoft/msbuild) | ||
|
||
Notes: | ||
This roadmap is intended to communicate project priorities for evolving and | ||
extending the scope of .NET Core. | ||
|
||
- The 1.0 release is accompanied with a preview version of the Visual Studio and command-line tooling. The Visual Studio tooling for 1.0 through 1.2 based on MSBuild and csproj should be publicly available in Fall 2016 and reach RTM quality in Spring 2017. | ||
|
||
- The [ASP.NET Core roadmap](https://github.com/aspnet/Home/wiki/Roadmap) articulates the ASP.NET projects' roadmap and dates. | ||
