July 2021 rough issue worklist

[KevinRansom]

And we're back with another month-ish of work. Here it is:

• @vzarytovskii - Enable new project system pages implementation for F# #11532

• @vzarytovskii - Update FSharp repo to build with net 6.0 #11803

• @TIHan - FCS performance benchmark notebook #11802

• @KevinRansom - System.ObjectDisposedException : Cannot write to a closed TextWriter in printf in numerous tests #11800

• @KevinRansom - Update ASP.NET Core F# project templates to use new minimal hosting APIs in .NET 6 #11804

Note: 16.11 is a servicing-only release for us. We will not include any fixes unless they are high priority/regressions. All other feature work and bugs will be targeted for .NET 6/dev17.

No reference assemblies @TIHan ?

[baronfel]

I'd expect that to be targeted for .NET 6 based on the fact that it's a new feature, not a high priority bugfix or regression.

[KevinRansom]

@charlesroddie not at this time.

[nojaf]

Any chance any of this will produce a new stable FCS package?
40 did not quite hit the mark for me. (Regression, that one last range bug I forgot).

[charlesroddie]

@charlesroddie not at this time.

That's a shame because it was in the last two months' worklists and the feature would be the most impactful development for us in F# for the last few years, since it would reduce our average compilation times by a factor of 2-3.

[KevinRansom]

@nojaf - I think we can release a 40.0.1 what bugs do you need fixed and in the release?

[KevinRansom]

@charlesroddie priorities change all of the time. The feature may well come back, before long.

[nojaf]

@KevinRansom if possible I'd like #11732 and #11734 to be in there.
One small caveat: this involves three PRs: #11736, #11733 and #11795.
#11781 would also be nice to have but is less blocking.

[vzarytovskii]

Yeah, we had a bunch of fixes in since the last release, I guess it makes sense to release a new one. WDYT @KevinRansom?

[nojaf]

Any update on a potential new FCS release @vzarytovskii @KevinRansom?

Closing out since August plan is up
