1.1.0 Planning

[DamianEdwards]

High level plans for the next minor update.

• Azure App Service integration
  • WebHostBuilder.UseAzureAppService()
    • Logging provider (Implement a logger for Azure WebApps aspnet/Logging#466)
    • Key Vault configuration provider (Create a Azure KeyVault based configuration provider aspnet/Configuration#487)
    • Auto-enable IIS integration
  • Blob storage DataProtection key storage provider (Add Azure Storage / Azure Key Vault extensibility to DataProtection aspnet/DataProtection#92)
  • B2C integration (Identity & Authn/z)
  • Kudu publish time improvements
• WebListener server (for Service Fabric & public-facing ready self-host without reverse proxy and Windows 10 IoT/UWP support)
• Startup time improvements
  • MVC startup time
  • MVC view pre-compilation
  • DI startup time (Codegen dependent types instead of one at a time aspnet/DependencyInjection#372)
  • Reduction of JIT cost from startup via multi-core JIT and/or first-class CrossGen story
• Runtime performance
  • Improving all TechEmpower scenarios (beyond Plaintext)
  • Standard middleware overhead improvements
    • Security middleware
    • Buffering middleware
    • Static files middleware
• Dev experience improvements
  • Meta-packages & publish trimming (reduce dependencies version burden)
  • Improve developer experience compile & startup time
  • Templates improvement (dotnet new, etc.)
  • Improve Razor tooling design, e.g. not require a build to get Tag Helper IntelliSense to work
• Re-enabling missing features & scenarios
  • Dependency Injection adjustments for better alignment with 3rd party DI containers
  • SignalR for ASP.NET Core (may target a preview in 1.1 timeframe)
  • Page-based development model on MVC (Razor Pages aspnet/Mvc#494)
  • MVC view pre-compilation
  • MVC View Component Tag Helpers
  • Response caching middleware (ResponseCaching Checklist aspnet/ResponseCaching#10)
  • WebSockets middleware
  • URL rewriting middleware (with mod_rewrite & URL Rewrite import) (Create URL Rewrite Middleware aspnet/BasicMiddleware#43)
• .NET Standard 2.0 alignment
• DataProtection key ring storage provider (e.g. Redis) (Implement Redis DataProtection key storage provider aspnet/DataProtection#169)

Thank you for infos.
What about EntityFramework 1.1.0 planning ?

[rowanmiller]

@ikourfaln take a look at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/07/29/entity-framework-core-1-1-plans/

[ikourfaln]

@rowanmiller thank you for sharing

[tomkuijsten]

I'm really curious about the

WebListener server ... Windows 10 IoT/UWP support

Is there more info to share about this topic?

[muratg]

@tomkuijsten any particular question? It's currently preview. We're working on releasing an RTM version. This is a Windows-only web server that sits on top of http.sys.

[tomkuijsten]

@muratg well I'm working on a custom webserver for our win10iot project. But it feels like wasted time if you will support these kind of features out of the box any time soon.

[muratg]

@tomkuijsten Feel free to check out dev builds (https://dotnet.myget.org/feed/aspnetcore-dev/package/nuget/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.WebListener). Related repo will hopefully be OSS soon too.

Thanks @muratg

Hi @DamianEdwards @rowanmiller , thanks a lot for providing more info; Would you include a refreshed Azure Mobile .NET Server SDK for the next release? I am currently building a .Net Core app but had to include the full .Net in order to communicate with the mobile SDK, and the code gets convoluted when mixing up EF Core and EF with ASP.NET Identity Core on top.

I really like where ASP.NET Core is going.
will

SignalR for ASP.NET Core

include the SignalR Client as well as the server?

[Eilon]

@Genae we started work on updating SignalR, but it's not in 1.1.0.

[muratg]

Adding to @Eilon, there will be SignalR clients in addition to the server whenever we do release SignalR.

[Ponant]

@muratg @Eilon any news about the Azure Mobile SDK?

[Jonathan34]

I am not sure why but I was expecting to see an asp.net core 2.0 version to align with .net core/standard 2.0. It looks like it is done in the version 1.2 (so much versions, it is confusing!).
this seems to be the item .NET Standard 2.0 alignment. still expected in Q2? any release in Q3?

[Eilon]

@Jonathan34 the next version of ASP.NET Core will be 2.0, and is aligned with all the other "2.0" wave of releases. We just updated all our version numbers yesterday from 1.2 to 2.0, so you should see that in builds later this week.

[Jonathan34]

aaah, that makes more sense. Thanks!

[ddobric]

What is the status of UWP support? Any early prototype available?

Can you specific about what you are asking for?
