Announcing the release of .NET 9, the most productive, modern, secure, intelligent, and performant release of .NET yet. With updates across ASP.NET Core, C#, .NET MAUI, .NET Aspire, and so much more.
Semi auto properties and params collection are long overdue. Great to see them in there.
System.Text.Json respecting nullability is also great. But may break some things if you didn't realise you were relying on the old behaviour.
LoggerMessage source gen using primary constructors fixes a minor pain.
EF generating SQL at compile time is also pretty sweet. Better query performance from precompiled and better startup performance from not having to precompile at runtime.
