The last week of March was pretty intense in the .NET community, with the release of Project Reunion 0.5, Dapr 1.1, and more. InfoQ examined these and a number of smaller stories in the .NET ecosystem from the week of March 29th, 2021.

Project Reunion 0.5 was  officially released this week, leaving the  Preview state into General Availability.  Project Reunion is a set of libraries, frameworks, components, and tools that provides a unified development platform for all apps (Win32, Packaged, and UWP), targeting all the Windows 10 versions. The new release includes a stable version of the  Windows UI Library version 3 (WinUI 3), the next generation of native Windows UI. With Project Reunion 0.5, developers can create brand new WinUI 3 desktop apps from scratch or migrate existing desktop apps to the new WinUI version. You can find more information about Project Reunion 0.5 in the  release notes.

Dapr 1.1 was also  released this week.  Dapr (from “Distributed Application Runtime”) is an open-source, event-driven runtime for developing event-driven distributed applications. It is composed of  building blocks for common capabilities necessary in microservice applications (such as service-to-service invocation and state management) that can be used independently by the application. This is the first release since the official 1.0 announcement earlier this year, and it  includes several bug fixes, new conformance tests for many pub-sub components, and new unit tests for .NET apps.
