Task authors can start poking at their own Tasks now if you like - but I'd wait a bit for us to start publishing our Task authoring analyzer to help you along your journey.

3) MSBuild's Multithreaded mode is freaking awesome now! We've made many core Tasks multithread-safe, so most common project types see a _good_ speedup on 'cold' builds and a _really good_ speedup on 'warm' builds. There are plenty more Tasks to go, but now is the time to try it out!

2) MSBuild uses Server mode by default! This is a small win for local inner loop today, and the foundation of larger wins in the future! Subsequent builds will now re-use warm caches and evaluation-time loading. Future work here will bring more smarts, like VS-style up to date checks.

1) the dotnet CLI is at least partially AOT'd now! Many commands get a ~250ms boost for free as a result of this, and more are coming! We're working on file-based apps coming into the AOT bubble, as well as builds, templates and tool installation.

I'd expect this pattern to be similar to what we might eventually do for multi-RID publish all-up - we haven't made a simple gesture for that for *reasons*, but packages like yours really push the need for it.

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

I think this is gonna need an SDK-level change to provide a target hook, so I've got an agent working on that now :) Will poke when I've got something for ya to look at.

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

It's also just nice from an MSBuild -efficiency point of view to reuse any work across those multiple publishes 🤘

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

So I may have a suggestion for your props file that would make multi-RID NAOT tool packaging just work for folks that do use your SDK.

100

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

I've got some sample projects that I want to move to this. NAOT tool packaging is a pain in the butt right now, and I think the base SDK might prevent doing multi-RID publishing for tools on the assumption that we won't ever work with it.

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Brilliant - I'm glad someone has taken the time to really polish this up! The difficulty in doing cross-OS NAOT publishing rally holds .NET back IMO.

Today I'm releasing AotAnywhere, a package which enables cross platform publishing support for dotnet NativeAOT. Before this package you had to use multiple different runners, with AotAnywhere you can publish for all targets from any single host. This is continuing the great work of @migeel.sk

I hope that it's not just using relative paths there. It should be asking for this information or being given this information from compiler invocations and other MSbuild properties.

Honestly a brilliant marketing move by Steam

Exposing commands that return JSON, and shipping a JSON description file with the CLI that tells DSC how to fit the various dotnet CLI commands for managing tools into its model. I pointed the folks at OpenCLI because there's a lot of shared ground too. Still a lot of specifics to untangle though

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform.

If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

Gotcha - I like the rid partitioning for that too. In previous releases we'd have folks like the ONNX trying to bundle platform specific models into one package and blowing their size limits. That's sorta solved now!

Could we use something like github.com/baronfel/msb... to prototype/explore? One thing I found with this exporter is that there's SO MUCH data that you drown pretty quickly. Having a better idea of what's actually relevant for specific scenarios would help me a lot.

Woah woah woah let's not get crazy now. We don't have Activity reporting of any kind yet in MSBuild so that's a bigger lift. What would you want to use that data for? I've had this on my personal backlog for a long time but haven't found a good motivating end to end use case.

100

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

In a structured way that we can grab. Imagining something like a `--logger:@nuget:MyLogger` kind of experience, where something about the _identifier_ tells tooling how to locate/acquire it. Of course there are other pathways too.

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

I was chatting a bit with @joelverhagen.com about related stuff a while back for my combo tool+library idea. There's some package validation stuff on the NuGet client (and maybe server?) that may need to be loosened, but there's a world where you can upload packages containing loggers...

Great! My current approach is to wrap each projects' output in a separate collapsible log group, report warnings and diagnostics via provider-specific output formatting, and where possible (like with GitHub STEP_SUMMARY) emit a summary.

Chet Husk @chethusk.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

That's actually already something that should work - VSCode has shipped a 'problem matcher' for MSBuild for years now. When you define a custom task in tasks.json, you can specify the '$msCompile' matcher to make it all work. For C#/DevKit they report problems directly and skip this process.
