[ADVENT 2024] What's new in F# in .NET 9.0 and .NET 9.0 SDK dotnet restore audit impact

 Hi my blog readers! I'm now back joining the F# Advent tradition! In this Advent 2024, I discuss some of What's new in F# 9..0 in .NET 9.0 only, and the dotnet restore audit behavior in .NET SDK.

I'm sure that we had enjoyed watching dotnetConf 2024 and also as usual, the launch of .NET new release annually, now it is .NET 9.0!

This release has an odd major version, it means a STS release, not the long term as the even major version. This means the .NET 9.0 has short term sipport release. The STS always has 1.5 year support, and the LTS has 3 years of support.

I personally think although it is STS release, this .NET 9.0 is quite important release. Not just it has all of the newer features of almost all languages that comes with .NET (C# and F#, unfortunately VB is not developed anymore since .NET 6.0) but it has many notable breaking changes.

Let's start discussing what's new on F# 9.0 first.

Organize dotnetConf Jakarta 2024 event and also speaking about .NET Aspire in .NET 9.0

 Hi my blog readers! On this 12th December, I organize a meetup event as relay on dotnetConf, and we call it dotnetConf 2024 Jakarta meetup! This time I also collaborate with Fadhil, he is ex-MVP and also a community leader of MUGI Bogor and Buitenzorg (IOT maker community).

Thanks again to Microsoft Indonesia for let us borrow some space for the meetup!

This is the speaking agenda that we had:

1. AI + .NET = GREAT! (by Fadhil)

2. .NET Aspire in .NET 9.0 (by me, Eriawan)

3. Performance Enhancement in ,NET 9.0 (by Ridi Ferdiana, MVP)

4. MAUI in .NET 9.0 (by Erick Kurniawan, MVP)

Due to some technical reasons, Ridi and Erick Kurniawan can only present online via Teams.

In my seesion of mine, I spoke and presented .NET Aspire on .NET 9.0, and it was about 70% demo and 30% slide deck explanation, as Aspire in ,NET 9.0 is so much better than Aspire before .NET 9.0. Initially Aspire will be released out of band. This means .NET Aspire has its own release schedule, unlike .NET Core that is always released annually.

This is me showing the Aspire Dashboard's Metrics:

This is Fadhil, presenting "AI + .NET = GREAT" to showcase AI in .NET 9.0!

This is Ridi, he presented the Perf enhancement in .NET 9:

 It's a total excitement!

See you on next year dotnetConf!
