The release adds post-quantum cryptography APIs, ASP.NET Core Identity metrics, Blazor persistent component states, and Entity Framework native JSON support. Performance benchmarks show compression operations 65% faster and thread pool timeouts reduced from 20 seconds to 4 milliseconds, with early adopters reporting 9-27% performance gains. ## Content The latest iteration of Microsoft's development platform, .NET 10, is now at the Release Candidate stage, introducing a sweeping array of innovations and performance enhancements aimed at delivering significant gains across applications. Central to this release are updates focused on the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler, making substantial strides with hundreds of optimizations. Key improvements include expanded escape analysis for better stack allocation of objects and arrays, enhanced devirtualization capabilities, and more sophisticated techniques for eliminating bounds checking. These optimizations collectively accelerate performance without necessitating changes to existing codebases from developers. In tandem with these performance upgrades, .NET 10 also finalizes post-quantum cryptography APIs, featuring new types such as MLDsa and MLKem, advances that bolster security measures for the future. ASP.NET Core now comes equipped with Identity metrics to effectively monitor user operations, alongside Blazor enhancements that support persistent component states, enriching the development of dynamic, interactive web applications. Additionally, Entity Framework 10 emerges in this release with native JSON data type support, a feature eagerly awaited by developers. Windows Forms' dark mode exits its experimental phase, offering users a more modernized visual experience, while improved diagnostics are available through .NET MAUI, including experimental CoreCLR runtime support for Android. Performance metrics from real-world applications demonstrate the profound impact of these optimizations, with JSON processing, compression, and thread pool operations seeing exceptional improvements—compression operations are now 65% faster, while thread pool timeout durations have dropped drastically from 20 seconds to just 4 milliseconds. Early adopters report notable performance increases ranging from 9-27% with each .NET upgrade, and enterprises managing extensive server infrastructures are experiencing 10-20% reductions in CPU usage. The general release of .NET 10 is anticipated in November, with two release candidates planned to precede it, supporting a seamless transition towards optimized application experiences. --- Tags: [#performance](https://daily.dev/tags/performance), [#microsoft](https://daily.dev/tags/microsoft), [#.net](https://daily.dev/tags/.net), [#aspnetcore](https://daily.dev/tags/aspnetcore) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/net-10-release-candidate-brings-performance-enhancements-and-new-features-imy9wotrq) ```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":".NET 10: Release Candidate Brings Performance Enhancements and New Features","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/net-10-release-candidate-brings-performance-enhancements-and-new-features-imy9wotrq","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/net-10-release-candidate-brings-performance-enhancements-and-new-features-imy9wotrq"},"datePublished":"2025-09-11T17:06:11.316Z","dateModified":"2025-09-11T17:06:31.948Z","description":".NET 10 Release Candidate introduces major performance improvements through JIT compiler optimizations, including enhanced escape analysis and...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1db4b244b3dfbca83b8a19e2d310b2e0?_a=AQAEulh","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1db4b244b3dfbca83b8a19e2d310b2e0?_a=AQAEulh","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","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":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/net-10-release-candidate-brings-performance-enhancements-and-new-features-imy9wotrq","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":4},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"performance,microsoft,.net,aspnetcore","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":".NET 10: Release Candidate Brings Performance Enhancements and New Features"}]} ```
