The next major version of Umbraco is getting closer. Umbraco 10 has numerous improvements, not least due to the update to .NET 6 and ASP.NET Core 6. You’ll also find a healthy round of updated dependencies, among them WebP support via ImageSharp 2. A new embedded database option for local development replacing SQL CE is also available making cross-platform development even easier.
We hope you’ll give the release candidate a go, either installing new projects or upgrading existing ones, and report if you find anything that should be addressed before release. There are already packages that support Umbraco 10 and we’ll soon have both Umbraco Forms and Deploy ready for testing as well as new RC releases in the coming month.
