Quality and Reliability

This release contains the following quality and reliability improvements.

CLR

  • Updated Japanese dates that are formatted for the first year in an era and for which the format pattern uses “y年”. The format of the year together with the symbol “元” is supported instead of using year number 1. Also, formatting day numbers that include “元” is supported. [646179]
  • Updated Venezuela currency information, this change affected the culture of “es-VE” in the following ways. [616146] 1) currency symbol changed to “Bs.S” 2) English currency name is changed to “Bolívar Soberano” 3) Native Currency name is changed to “bolívar soberano” 4) Intl Currency Code changed to “VES”
  • Addressed a situation where the System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms reference was not correctly loaded on .NET Framework 4.7.1 after the 7B/8B patch. [673870]

WF

  • In some .NET Remoting scenarios, when using TransactionScopeAsyncFlowOption.Enabled, it was possible to have Transaction.Current reset to null after a remoting call. [669153]

Winforms

  • Addressed an issue where application created numerous Windows Forms textboxes to a flowLayoutPanel, with only a few calls to comctl32.dll. [638365]

WPF

  • Addressed a race condition involving temporary files and some anti-virus scanners. This was causing crashes with the message “The process cannot access the file “. [638468]
  • Addressed a crash due to TaskCanceledException that can occur during shutdown of some WPF apps. Apps that continue to do work involving weak events or data binding after Application.Run() returns are known to be vulnerable to this crash. [655427]
