Microsoft has announced the sixth preview of .NET 10, introducing enhancements across the .NET Runtime, SDK, libraries, C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and .NET MAUI. The update focuses on improving performance, developer experience, and cross-platform tooling. Memory management in ASP.NET Core has been refined with automatic eviction of unused memory from internal pools when applications are idle, requiring no action from developers. Metrics for memory pools are now exposed, enabling custom memory pools creation through the IMemoryPoolFactory interface.
