Weekly .NET Roundup: .NET 10 RC2, Security Patches, and UI Workflows

by TechHub

The .NET platform saw the arrival of .NET 10 RC2, new security patches, and updated workflows for automating design and console interfaces, laying the groundwork for a modern and secure application environment.

This Week's Overview

.NET Platform Updates and Security Maintenance

.NET 10 RC2 is ready for use in production, bringing features like upgraded microphone control, SafeAreaEdges in .NET MAUI, XAML source generation, platform compatibility improvements, extended JSON support in EF Core, and enhanced support for .NET MSBuild tasks. Full details are available in the release notes. Developers are encouraged to validate applications and check documentation before the GA release. Concurrent with other platform and debugging updates, RC2 continues to improve reliability. Security updates for October 2025 address issues in .NET 8.0, 9.0, and legacy .NET Framework versions, patching vulnerabilities like information disclosure, feature bypass concerns, denial of service, and remote code execution. The fixes extend to runtime, SDK, ASP.NET Core, and container images; teams should update promptly and use provided support materials.

Developer Workflow Enhancements: Design, Console UIs, and Tutorials

A live VS Code session demonstrates how to connect Figma MCP Server with Code Connect, making it easier to synchronize design tokens and produce up-to-date code from designs in Figma to Visual Studio Code. This aligns with recent MCP updates in VS Code, providing more custom and integrated workflows. A new guide highlights how to use RazorConsole to build interactive, visually rich .NET console apps, showing how to integrate RazorConsole, manage layouts, and create modern UIs. This encourages teams to bring new capabilities to CLI tools. Building on last week’s discussions on debugging and workflow improvement, these tools enhance .NET development experiences and customizability.
