In one of the recent announcements, Microsoft has changed the name of ASP.Net 5 and .Net Core 5. Official blog post says:

However, naming the new, completely written from scratch ASP.NET framework "ASP.NET 5" was a bad idea for a one major reason: 5 > 4.6 makes it seem like ASP.NET 5 is bigger, better, and replaces ASP.NET 4.6. Not so. So we're changing the name and picking a better version number.


  • ASP.NET 5 is now ASP.NET Core 1.0.
  • NET Core 5 is now .NET Core 1.0.
  • Entity Framework 7 is now Entity Framework Core 1.0 or EF Core 1.0 colloquially.
