To get an overview of this release https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2016/09/13/asp-net-core-sept-2016-patch/.
This release contains the following.
This release contains RTM quality support for ASP.NET.
This release contains Preview 2 tooling for .NET Core and ASP.NET Core.
In the previous release the .NET Core packages used version 1.0.0. To update your existing projects you can update package references from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1. See the related security advisory at aspnet/Announcements#203.
In the previous release if you added an Area to an ASP.NET Core project when the project is published the views under the areas may not be published. This is caused by an incomplete entry in the project.json file. The fix for this is to update the project.json file. See aspnet/Templates#654 for more details. For new projects created with Preview 2, project.json contains the complete entry.

This release contains the following
This release contains the latest tools to build great ASP.NET applications. It also contains Preview 2 tooling for Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.0.
- Default auth switched to No Auth: In previous versions Individual Auth was the default authentication option. We have changed this to No Auth to simplify the default project contents.
- BundlerMinifier included: In previous versions we were relying on gulp to bundle and minify client side content. We have changed this to use BundlerMinifier to simplify the default project contents and decrease the dependencies.
In this release we have added support to publish to FTP endpoints using the Visual Studio Publish Web dialog.
Since our initial release on 6/27/2016, we have released cumulative updates as listed below.
If you obtain cumulative servicing update that provides fixes to Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, you will benefit from the resolution of the following two issues:
- In ASP.NET cshtml files, committing code completion after you type the full snippet may cause incorrect snippets to be added to the source file.
- An issue that affects inspecting local variables for code that's embedded in cshtml files occurs in ASP.NET Core applications.
We fixed a few key customer issues as listed below to improve the development experience of .NET Core. This update can be downloaded and installed from here and is a cumulative update that contains Preview 2 tooling plus targeted bug fixes listed below.
Please note that this is only an update to the Visual Studio tooling - runtime pieces of .NET Core as well as components of .NET Core 1.0.0 SDK are the same as what they were before.
Fixes in this update include the following:
- Some customers were blocked from installing the Preview 2 installer with a message that Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 may not be completely installed. To work-around it, one had to run the installer from the command-line with the SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1 argument. This workaround is not needed anymore, and this updated Preview 2 installer will now install correctly on top of Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
- Fix for a bug that sometimes caused crashes in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (
CLR_EXCEPTION_System.NullReferenceException_80004003_Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition.dll!Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition.ExportProvider+PartLifecycleTracker.ReportPartiallyInitializedImport) - Fix for a bug that sometimes caused .xproj to be repeatedly built with the message
(project) will be compiled because inputs were modified.

This release contains the following.
This release contains RTM quality support for ASP.NET.
This release contains Preview 1 tooling for .NET Core and ASP.NET Core. We have also fixed a number of issues from previous releases.
We have added support on the Web Publish dialog to execute Entity Framework Migrations during a publish using Web Deploy (aka MSDeploy).
The templates provided in the File->New Project dialog have been updated. We now have three template entries in the New Project Dialog related to ASP.NET.
- ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework): This opens the One ASP.NET dialog with templates for ASP.NET. Including Web Forms, MVC, Web API, etc. These templates use
System.Weband only run on Windows. - ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core): This opens the One ASP.NET dialog with templates for ASP.NET Core running on .NET Core. Since these are targetting .NET Core they can be used on all platforms (Windows, Linux and OS X).
- ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework): This opens the One ASP.NET dialog with templates for ASP.NET Core running on .NET Framework. Since they are running on the .NET Framework, these templates will only run on Windows. You should use this if you have investments in libraries, or code, which are not compatible with .NET Core.
With this release we are including web linters including: ESLint, CSSLint, TSLint and CoffeeLint.
We have refreshed many of the packages used in the default templates provided by File -> New Project.
In addition we have updated to node version 5.4.1 and npm version 3.3.4.
We have updated the support for .xproj projects referencing .csproj projects. In the past we relied on a command line tool dnu wrap. We ran into many issues with that support and decided to re-implement it without using that command line tool.
