NET 11 Preview 1 is released, featuring Runtime Async as the headline change, moving async method handling from the compiler into the runtime itself. The preview also brings CoreCLR WebAssembly work, native Zstandard compression, C# 15 collection expression arguments, and MAUI improvements. Community reaction has been mixed, with praise for async changes but debate over language complexity.
