# .NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 2 Release Notes - 6/28/2017
|
|
|
|
.NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 2 and SDK 2.0.0 Preview 2 are available for download and testing. These can be found on [.NET Core Preview 2](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core/preview) or the [Preview 2 download page](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/download-archives/2.0.0-preview2-download.md).
|
|
|
|
The .NET Core SDK 2.0.0-Preview 2 includes .NET Core 2.0.0-Preview 2 runtime so downloading the runtime packages separately is not needed when installing the SDK.
|
|
|
|
A [number of improvements](2.0.0-preview2-commit.md) have been made since Preview 1 by an [incredible list of folks](2.0.0-preview2-contributor.md). You can see details for other areas of the release in the [.NET Blog](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/06/28/announcing-net-core-2-0-preview-2/) and have a look at [.NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 2 Known Issues](2.0.0-preview2-known-issues.md) document as there are a few things to be aware of before installing.

|
|
|
You're feedback is important and appreciated. We've created [dotnet/core #711](https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/711) for your questions and comments.

## .NET Core 2.0.0 Preview 2 Highlights
|
|
|
|
If you missed Preview 1, see those [release notes](2.0.0-preview1.md) for earlier highlights.
|
|
|
|
### Platform updates in Preview 2
|
|
|
|
We have an exciting addition to the supported platform line-up with SUSE. Debian and Fedora have released updates recently which are also supported beginning with Preview 2.
|
|
|
|
* [SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2](https://www.suse.com/products/server/)
|
|
* [Debian 9](https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170617)
|
|
* [Fedora 25 and 26 (beta)](https://getfedora.org)
|
|
|
|
#### High Sierra
|
|
|
|
Testing has begun on macOS High Sierra to ensure compatibility when .NET Core 2.0 releases later this year.
|
|
|
|
### Installer Package Name Changes
|
|
|
|
We received much feedback that our names and versions were confusing and generally messy. Great discussions were had with contributors to craft a plan which is implemented in Preview 2. You can see the conversation and details in [dotnet/designs/issues/2](https://github.com/dotnet/designs/issues/2) and [dotnet/core-setup/issues/1599](https://github.com/dotnet/core-setup/issues/1599).
|
|
|
|
### Server Hosting Bundles
|
|
|
|
Because the Runtime Package Store contains crossgen'ed files for a specific release, the hosting bundles will now install side-by-side. This will allow for previous applications to retain the performance benefits while applications targeting new Core versions will at the same time make use of the updated Store.
|
|
|
|
### Docker Images
|
|
|
|
The [.NET Core Docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/dotnet/) have been updated for this release. Look for the 2.0.0-preview2 images.
|
|
|
|
### WCF
|
|
|
|
The [WCF release page](https://github.com/dotnet/wcf/releases/tag/v2.0.0-preview2) has details on fixes from the WCF team.
|
|
|
|
## ASP.NET Core
