+## Visual Studio 15.9
+
+You can find all tracked VS 15.9 items in the [15.9 milestone](https://github.com/Microsoft/visualfsharp/milestone/24).
+
+### F# Compiler
+
+* Fix (#4637) - Can't debug FCS when compiled with portable pdb debug symbols, by [Jason Imison](https://github.com/nosami).
+* Fix (#5355) - We fixed a bug where extension methods that take `byref` values could mutate an immutable value.
+* Fix (#5446) - We improved the compile error information for overloads on `byref`/`inref`/`outref`, rather than displaying the previously obscure error.
+* Fix (#5354) - Optional Type Extensions on `byref`s are now disallowed entirely. They could be declared previously, but were unusable, resulting in a confusing user experience.
+* Fix (#5294) - We fixed a bug where `CompareTo` on a struct tuple and causing a type equivalence with an aliased struct tuple would result in a runtime exception.
+* Fix (#5621) - We fixed a bug where use of `System.Void` in the context of authoring a Type Provider for .NET Standard could fail to find the `System.Void` type at design-time.
+* Fix (#5468) - We fixed a bug where an internal error could occur when a partially applied Discriminated Union constructor is mismatched with an annotated or inferred type for the Discriminated Union.
+* Fix (#5540) - We modified the compiler error message when attempting to take an address of an expression (such as accessing a property) to make it more clear that it violates scoping rules for `byref` types.
+* Fix (#5536) - We fixed a bug where your program could crash at runtime when partially applying a `byref` type to a method or function. An error message will now display.
+* Fix (#5459) - We fixed an issue where an invalid combination of a `byref` and a reference type (such as `byref<int> option`) would fail at runtime and not emit an error message. We now emit an error message.
+
+### F# Tools for Visual Studio
+
+* Fix (#5657) - We resolved an issue where metadata for F# assemblies built with the .NET Core SDK was not shown in file properties on Windows. You can now see this metadata by right-clicking an assembly on Windows and selecting **Properties**.
+* Fix (#5615) - We fixed a bug where use of `module global` in F# source could cause Visual Studio to become unresponsive.
+* Fix (#5515) - We fixed a bug where extension methods using `inref<'T>` would not show in completion lists.
+* Fix (#5514) - We fixed a bug where the TargetFramework dropdown in Project Properties for .NET Framework F# projects was empty.
+* Fix (#5507) - We fixed a bug where File | New Project on a .NET Framework 4.0 project would fail.
+
+### F# OSS Build
+
+* Feature (#5027) - Set VisualFSharpFull as the default startup project, by [Robert Jeppesen](https://github.com/rojepp).
