"Microsoft has released .NET 10 Release Candidate 2, the final pre-release build before general availability. As reported by the .NET team, RC 2 ships with a go-live support license, enabling production deployment while allowing developers to validate the platform ahead of its official release. The build is supported in Visual Studio 2026 Insiders and Visual Studio Code with the C# Dev Kit."
"The official release date for . NET 10 is November 11, 2025, when it will become a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, providing three years of patches and updates. Release Candidate 1 (RC1) was made available on September 9, followed by RC2 on October 14, marking the final preview stage before general availability. Microsoft stated that this release is primarily focused on validation, quality, and stability rather than feature additions."
"The .NET MAUI workload receives several refinements in this release. Windows now supports microphone permissions via Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Microphone>(), providing a unified permission model across platforms. Android gains support for SafeAreaEdges, improving layout behavior for edge-to-edge rendering and keyboard overlays. RC 2 also includes enhancements to XAML Source Generation, offering, as reported, faster debug-time view inflation and a simplified configuration mechanism through the <MauiXamlInflator>SourceGen</MauiXamlInflator> property."
