Microsoft has shipped preview 3 of its forthcoming .NET 6 framework with a bunch of updates including the addition of Windows desktop to its Multi-platform App UI (MAUI).
As the first long-term support version of the supposedly unified framework, .NET 6.0 is expected to be completed in November. Like .NET 5.0, it is no longer designated .NET Core, though it remains distinct from the Windows-only .NET Framework, which is still supported but will not be further developed.
.NET 6.0 has added Android, iOS, Mac and Windows ARM64 to the list of supported platforms, with mobile and Mac GUI support coming from the integration of Xamarin Forms. Although .NET 5.0 was released in November 2020, its short supported life means that .NET 6.0 may prove the more important release.
