How many previews will .NET 6 have before release? #6144
Comments
It will have 7 previews, and 2 release candidates after preview 7.
I would say yes, it is a good idea to start using .NET 6 for new development, cc @leecow since he might know better about any guidelines for this. |
The answer to when you should begin adopting really depends on what you're doing. We want folks to begin using Previews as early as possible so that we can hear feedback early enough to use before the final release. Previews are inherently more unstable than the final release, though we work hard to ensure core functionality is as solid as possible. When we do find something that could present a problem for Preview users, we document it in the Known Issues document for the release. New features and functionality provide opportunities for your projects to possibly solve problems in new ways. We have "what's new" issues available detailing many of the new features of .NET 6. Here's the issue for Preview 3 - dotnet/core#5890. |
hi, I found there are so many tests not passed https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/projects/48, will there be fixed at last? |
When Microsoft released version 1.0 it rated it stable for production. So we can objectively and officially say that yes, it is ready to be used in commercial applications. In fact, a lot of people are already using it under these conditions. Some people complain about some things. Including the lack of some components. Some that will never be implemented because it doesn't make sense in the .NET Core (but even that has changed a bit), others that we need to wait for a while, or get some alternative, as many people have done. |
I visited this page because I tried to google "Why there are so many previews in .net 6?". |
Closing this issue since .NET 6 already released. .NET 6 had 7 preview releases and two release candidate releases before the final release in November. The preview releases are meant to give developers a chance to try out the product before it's final. Right now, .NET MAUI is in preview as well as .NET 7. |
Thanks a lot mairaw for your prompt reply. It's clear now that I can ignore all the preview thing and updates about preview as I have already seen a lot or too much on the youtube. |
Our product is now set to release every November: Upgrade from one version to the next should be straightforward. But you can adopt one LTS release (.NET 6, for example) and they are supported for 3 years. |
I am developing ASP.NET Core and WPF on Windows, I want to know when is the proper time to migrate to .NET 6 from .NET 5?
Yes, I am asking is it stable enough to do early development?
