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 ?

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

@rowanmiller thank you for sharing

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.
