Raygun’s Launch Notes are your regular roundup of all the improvements we made to Raygun last month—from major features to performance updates.

Garbage collection is a key component of many modern programming languages, including C#. It’s even hard to imagine what programming would look like in C#, and other modern languages like Java, Ruby, and many others, without this tool.

Microsoft .NET Framework is one of the most popular application development platforms and programming languages. C# and ASP.NET frameworks are used by millions of developers for building Windows client applications, XML Web services, distributed components, client-server applications, database applications, and so on. It’s no surprise that ensuring top-notch performance of .NET applications is a foremost need for most application owners and developers.

In A Comedy of Errors, we talk to engineers about the weirdest, worst, and most interesting application and infrastructure issues they’ve encountered (and resolved) over the years. This week, we hear from Jason Dufair, Full Stack Developer on the Studio team at Purdue University.

As a pillar of the .NET ecosystem, NuGet specifies how .NET packages are created, hosted, and consumed, while also providing the necessary tools to achieve these functions. Despite being relatively new (launched in 2010), all project templates from Microsoft’s Visual Studio have included packages that required NuGet.org for several years.

We are excited to announce our recent support of .NET Standard 2.0 and ASP.NET Core 2 applications for Raygun Crash Reporting. The update is for developers needing to target the .NET Standard 2 APIs. Our new provider targets both .NET Standard 1.6 and .NET Standard 2.0, so it can be used with both .NET Core 1 and .NET Core 2 applications. At the time of writing, it is just the .NET Core provider and ASP.NET Core provider that are .NET Core 2 compatible.
