Will start going controlled to prod with select workloads as soon 11 RC is released. Done this since 6, great way to learn any breaking changes, SDK changes and runtime issues. Great learnings to efficiently learn what's needed to migrate, and have majority done by Christmas.

Reminder that .NET 8 and .NET 9 go end-of-life and out of support in November this year (2026). That's 3 months away. You should be moving to .NET 10 or an upcoming .NET 11 RC/GA release ASAP.

File-based apps is easily one of my favorite .NET features in the last year or so. Nice to see some incremental improvements around supporting more than one file.

New version of Razor Slices is out: github.com/DamianEdward... Minor breaking change potential as slice model types are now detected & strongly-typed factory methods are created, rather than relying on runtime checking. Also all slices now implement IResult directly.

What's Changed Strongly-typed Create methods & net10.0 support by @DamianEdwards in #102 Remove workaround by @DamianEdwards in #103 Directly implement IResult & make wrappers & adapters obsolete....

Support for multiple files in file-based apps, via the new `#:include` directive. The item type is derived from the file extension in the path/glob you provide & is extensible via MSBuild, so *.cs -> Compile, *.json -> Content, etc. Coming in .NET SDK 10.0.300

Gah lost a NAS drive. Rebuilding RAID-1 so no protection right now. Buying two more drives so I can upgrade to RAID-6 and get protection against multiple drive loss. Don't need this stress.
