This simplifies maintenance and allows applications to benefit from platform-managed updates and security enhancements.
• Reduced Package Size and Simplified Deployment for .NET Applications: The .NET Core XT client kit package structure has been streamlined by removing legacy duplicate libraries, resulting in a cleaner, standards-based package layout and reduced distribution footprint.
