This version of MSBuild shipped with Visual Studio 2022 version 17.0.0 and .NET SDK 6.0.100.

What's new

  • MSBuild now reports its version as 17 and uses Visual Studio 2022 versions of tasks where appropriate.
  • MSBuild now targets .NET Framework 4.7.2 and .NET 6.0.
  • 64-bit MSBuild is now used for builds from Visual Studio.
  • Binary logs are smaller and have more information.
  • MSBuildCopyContentTransitively is now on by default, ensuring consistency in output folders on incremental builds.
  • The method GetType() can no longer be called in property functions.
