## .NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 1 released 5/10/2017
|
|
|
|
.NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 1 and SDK 2.0.0 Preview 1 are available for download and testing. These can be found on [.NET Core Preview 1](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core/preview) or the [Preview 1 download page](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/download-archives/2.0.0-preview1-download.md).
|
|
|
|
The .NET Core SDK 2.0.0-Preview 1 includes .NET Core 2.0.0-Preview 1 runtime so downloading the runtime packages separately is not needed when installing the SDK.
|
|
|
|
You can see details for other areas of the release in the [.NET Blog](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/) and have a look at [.NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 1 Known Issues](2.0.0-preview1-known-issues.md) document as there are a few things to be aware of before installing.
|
|
|
|
We've created [dotnet/core #640](https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/640) for your questions and comments.

## .NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 1 Highlights
|
|
|
|
### .Net Standard 2.0 support is built into .NET Core 2.0.0
|
|
|
|
You can visit the following locations to learn more about .NET Standard.
|
|
|
|
* [Introducing .NET Standard](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/09/26/introducing-net-standard/)

|
|
|
|
### Linux Binaries
|
|
|
|
The 'generic' Linux binary archives are new for the 2.0 release. This package contains binaries which are compatible with [Linux distros and versions supported by .NET Core](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/roadmap.md). This will also enable you to experiment with Distros not present on the supported list but are libc compatible.
|
|
|
|
### OpenSSL is no longer needed on OSX
|
|
|
|
We have made changes to the crypto libraries to take advantage of services available natively in macOS.
|
|
|
|
### Runtime Package Store
|
|
|
|
The runtime package store enables creating a precompiled cache of common libraries which can be centrally provisioned and not deployed to every application reducing deployment size and time.
|
|
|
|
### Separate Host Executables
|
|
|
|
Portable and Standalone applications now use separate host executables. This enables developers building Standalone applications to sign the host executable with their publisher signature.
|
|
|
|
### And even more ...
|
|
|
|
* Portable binary archives for all platforms
|
|
* Support for Linux Arm builds
|
|
* Windows Arm32 and Arm64 builds
|
|
|
|
