FSharp.Core 4.2.2

Fixes various subtle bugs in async expressions.

FSharp.Core 4.2.1

Corresponds to this package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/FSharp.Core/4.2.1

FSharp.Core 4.2 (and higher versions) is the version of FSharp.Core which is jointly published by Microsoft and The F# Software Foundation. It is the version of FSharp.Core to be used for .NET Standard 2.0 or .NET Core 2.0 projects, and eventually all projects. It no longer contains PCL .dlls. This is not intended for use in PCL or Type Providers yet.

Guidance for this version:

• For existing packages targeting .NET Frameworks 4.0 or lower and PCLs, use FSharp.Core 4.1 or lower.
• For Type Provider developers, use FSharp.Core 4.1 or lower until Type Providers are supported on .NET Standard 2.0
• For existing desktop projects or libraries, prefer this version or higher if feasible.
• For new desktop projects or libraries, use this version or higher.
• For new (.NET Standard-based) Xamarin projects, use this version or higher.
• For library developers, prefer this package if you can target .NET Standard 1.6 or 2.0. Multitarget to also provide a .NET Framework 4.5 .dll, if possible, to provide a wider range of targets for desktop users who cannot use .NET Standard.

VS 2017 RC3

These are the very latest preview bits for the VisualFSharp Tools for Visual Studio 2017-RC3. The VSIX that you see below has already been inserted into the final release for Visual Studio 2017.

Due to an error on our part these were not inserted into the VS build in time for the RC3.
-- issue here: #2276

Please use the following procedure to install this update:

1. Install VisualStudio 2017 RC3 : https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
2. Select the .NET desktop development workload and ensure that F# language support is selected. (Note: you can do the same with the ASP.NET workload, the Xamarin workload, the Data Storage and Processing workload). You must have a .NET workload installed.
3. Open Visual Studio, and then use Tools > Extensions and Updates to uninstall "Visual F# Tools".
4. Visual Studio Installer will be shown, with F# de-selected. Click "Modify" (make sure to close Visual Studio first). The size differential should read "-57 MB". There is no need to check or uncheck anything else in the Visual Studio Installer.
5. Install Microsoft.FSharp.SDK.Core.msi from below.
6. Install VisualFSharpFull.vsix from below.
7. Re-run the Visual Studio Installer, select modify, and then check F# Language Support again. Click the Modify button. This will then complete the installation of F# in the IDE with this custom VSIX. It will take longer to finish than normal - specifically, it will appear to "hang" at 0% when "Applying Microsoft.FSharp.SDK.Core", and then suddenly be finished. This is expected behavior.

You should now have the latest Visual F# Tools installed! The above steps should not be necessary when Visual Studio 2017 releases. As stated at the beginning, these changes are already in the final product. These lengthy installation steps are only needed for RC3.
