.NET July 2022 Updates – .NET 6.0.7 and .NET Core 3.1.27

Today, we are releasing the .NET July 2022 Updates. These updates contain reliability and non-security improvements. Your app may be vulnerable if you have not deployed a recent .NET update.

You can download 6.0.7 and 3.1.27 versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux, for x86, x64, Arm32, and Arm64.

Improvements

Visual Studio

See release notes for Visual Studio compatibility for .NET 6.0 and .NET Core 3.1.

.NET Core 3.1 End of life

.NET Core 3.1 will reach end of life on December 13, 2022, as described in .NET Releases and per .NET Release Policies. After that time, .NET Core 3.1 patch updates will no longer be provided. We recommend that you move any .NET Core 3.1 applications and environments to .NET 6.0. It’ll be an easy upgrade in most cases.

The .NET Releases page is the best place to look for release lifecycle information. Knowing key dates helps you make informed decisions about when to upgrade or make other changes to your software and computing environment.
