.NET 10 moves to release candidate stage

"Microsoft's planned .NET 10 software development platform has reached the release candidate (RC) stage, with highlights including post-quantum cryptography API completion and ASP.NET Core Identity metrics. Announced September 9 and downloadable from dotnet.microsoft.com, .NET 10 Release Candidate 1 is the first of two planned release candidates. The initial RC follows seven previews, with the first one dating back to February 25. The general release is expected in November."

"Announced September 9 and downloadable from dotnet.microsoft.com, .NET 10 Release Candidate 1 is the first of two planned release candidates. The initial RC follows seven previews, with the first one dating back to February 25. With post-quantum cryptography now "API complete," the MLDsa, MLKem, SlhDsa, and CompositeMLDsa types and associated algorithm types all have been declared for the RC 1 release."

"With post-quantum cryptography now "API complete," the MLDsa, MLKem, SlhDsa, and CompositeMLDsa types and associated algorithm types all have been declared for the RC 1 release. The ML-DSA class for cryptography, meanwhile, now allows signatures to be created and verified from an "external" mu (μ) value."

.NET 10 Release Candidate 1 became available after seven previews, with the first preview released February 25. Announced September 9 and downloadable from dotnet.microsoft.com, RC1 is the first of two planned release candidates ahead of a general release expected in November. Key highlights include API-complete post-quantum cryptography with MLDsa, MLKem, SlhDsa, and CompositeMLDsa types and associated algorithm types declared for RC1. The ML-DSA class now supports creating and verifying signatures using an external mu (μ) value. ASP.NET Core Identity gains new metrics to help monitor and analyze identity-related operations.
