The Interaction Service now supports file imports and progress dialogs, and resources can host an interactive terminal via WithTerminal() (experimental). TypeScript AppHosts are now generally available with parity for health checks and container file copying. Deployment gains Kubernetes persistent volume support and cross-scope Azure resource references. The CLI can now be installed via Homebrew, WinGet, npm, Nix, mise, and NuGet, and the VS Code extension was rebranded with new debugging support. Breaking changes include renaming ServiceProvider to Services, deprecating GitHub Models integration, and removing the dashboard's AI Assistant chat. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What breaking changes does .NET Aspire 13.5 introduce? Aspire 13.5 renames the ServiceProvider property to Services and deprecates the GitHub Models integration. The dashboard's AI Assistant chat feature has also been removed entirely in this version, so code relying on the old property name or these features needs updating before upgrading. _daily.dev helps .NET teams track breaking changes like these before upgrading Aspire._ ### Are TypeScript AppHosts generally available in .NET Aspire 13.5? Yes, TypeScript AppHosts became generally available in Aspire 13.5 and no longer require an experimental opt-in. With this milestone, the Interaction Service, file uploads, and progress dialogs work identically from C# and TypeScript, and the release adds custom health checks and container file copying to close remaining gaps in the TypeScript model. _Developers choosing between C# and TypeScript AppHosts can follow Aspire updates on daily.dev._ ### How do I add an interactive terminal to a resource in .NET Aspire? Calling WithTerminal() on a resource in Aspire 13.5 gives it an interactive terminal session inside the dashboard, useful for shells, REPLs, and tools needing real input and output. Users can type into the terminal, switch between replicas, and multiple viewers can attach to the same process simultaneously; the feature is marked experimental in this release. _daily.dev keeps developers building with Aspire's dashboard features current on new capabilities._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Aspire 13.2 Released with Expanded CLI, TypeScript AppHost Preview, and Dashboard Improvements](https://daily.dev/posts/aspire-13-2-released-with-expanded-cli-typescript-apphost-preview-and-dashboard-improvements-d9co5tm82) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Microsoft Releases Aspire 13.3 with Major Deployment and Frontend Updates](https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-releases-aspire-13-3-with-major-deployment-and-frontend-updates-r5riwdgk3) · InfoQ · 9 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#azure](https://daily.dev/tags/azure), [#typescript](https://daily.dev/tags/typescript), [#.net](https://daily.dev/tags/.net) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-releases-aspire-13-5-with-a-refreshed-dashboard-and-workflow-improvements-nsillw5f3) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Microsoft Releases Aspire 13.5 With a Refreshed Dashboard and Workflow Improvements","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-releases-aspire-13-5-with-a-refreshed-dashboard-and-workflow-improvements-nsillw5f3","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-releases-aspire-13-5-with-a-refreshed-dashboard-and-workflow-improvements-nsillw5f3"},"datePublished":"2026-08-20T08:25:39.202Z","dateModified":"2026-08-20T08:26:40.638Z","description":"Microsoft shipped Aspire 13.5, refreshing the dashboard's visual design and the aspire.dev homepage while adding quality-of-life features like case-insensitive...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/4a984c41efc1b8b3c3a153740eb72dd1?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/4a984c41efc1b8b3c3a153740eb72dd1?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"InfoQ","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InfoQ","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/afc3bced3e1e4b188dd9127017a60e0c","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/infoq"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-releases-aspire-13-5-with-a-refreshed-dashboard-and-workflow-improvements-nsillw5f3","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"kubernetes,azure,typescript,.net","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"InfoQ","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/infoq"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Microsoft Releases Aspire 13.5 With a Refreshed Dashboard and Workflow Improvements"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-releases-aspire-13-5-with-a-refreshed-dashboard-and-workflow-improvements-nsillw5f3#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What breaking changes does .NET Aspire 13.5 introduce?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Aspire 13.5 renames the ServiceProvider property to Services and deprecates the GitHub Models integration.
