On Thursday August 13 at 16:00 CEST. we'll have an online demo about X# and future .Net versions (.Net Core and .Net 5)
In this session we'll demonstrate:

  • How does X# compile and run against the various versions of the .Net Framework at this moment?
    We'll look at both VS and XIDE.
  • What will change for .Net Core and .Net 5?
  • The build system for X# for .Net Core and .Net 5
  • We'll demo how to create an X# .Net 5 /.Net core app in how to deploy it with its own copy of the runtime and as a single exe.
  • Hopefully we'll also be able to demo an early version of the VS integration for .Net Core and .Net 5 (not sure yet, fingers crossed :) )
  • What code changes are needed to compile for future .Net versions?

The idea of this session is not only to show that it works, but also to explain a bit about the background about building for various .Net versions.

The recording of this session can be found in our Youtube Channel: XSharp Academy

We have just released the public installer for XSharp Cahors  2.5b
The complete readme with the description of the changes can be found here.
This is the same build as the subscribers build, with the exception that subscribers get a slightly faster compiler, a .Net core version of the compiler  and debug versions of the runtime assemblies to aid in tracking errors (not that we have any <g>).

You can download the installer from here (you have to login first):

{rsfiles path="installers/XSharpSetup25bPublic.zip"}

This will be the last public installer that targets Visual Studio 2015.

The next build of X# (2.6 ?) will only work with Visual Studio 2017 and later.

Today we have released a new installer for XSharp Cahors 2.5a, which contains several fixes for issues that our FOX subscribers have reported in in the VS integration and runtime. There are NO compiler changes in this build.
Additionally, it includes new support for the Visual Studio task window.

The what's new document describing all the changes can be found here:

{rsfiles path="general/Readme/whatsnew25a.rtf"}

{rsfiles path="fox/Compiler/XSharpSetup25aFox.zip"}

Unless some important problem is found in the next couple days, also the public version of the 2.5a build will follow shortly.
Thank you to all of you for your continued support and invaluable help in further developing the XSharp product!
