.NET Framework 4.6 Preview

Last year on November 2014, Microsoft released new .NET Framework 4.6 Preview version and I will just go through some of the new features which are available compared to the older one.

• ASP.NET 5: .NET Framework 4.6 includes ASP.NET 5 which is emphasized more on developing modern cloud based apps.
• 64-bit JIT Compiler for managed code, which provides significant performance improvement compared to older 64-bit JIT Compiler.
• Many new APIs have been added around .NET Framework 4. Additional collections implement IReadOnlyCollection<T> such as Queue<T> and Stack<T> and also enhancement to Garbage Collection.
• Changes to the task-based asynchronous pattern (TAP)

• Improvements to event tracing
• .NET Native: Windows Store apps that target .NET Core and are written in C# can now take advantage of a new technology that compiles apps to native code rather than IL. They produce apps characterized by faster startup and execution times. 

• Open-source .NET Framework packages
