Last month, Microsoft released the .NET Framework January 2022 Cumulative Update Preview, part of the company’s promise to support .NET Framework. The update targets .NET Framework versions 3.5 and 4.8 and focuses on the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
The preview release aims to increase reliability and quality of the .NET Framework features for Windows OS.
From a reliability perspective this update fixes the CLR crash issues that are caused by the garbage collector in certain paths while trying to invoke shared-generic code from non-shared-generic code (this is a runtime+JIT feature aimed at reducing the amount of code the runtime generates for generic methods). This aims to provide more stable memory management and less memory leaks.
