what's new in this release

• This fixes an issue where the configuration that was selected in previous Visual Studio sessions wasn't being restored.
• The CMake cache no longer generates automatically when “Never run configure step automatically” is selected in the settings.
• Fixed C++ modules bugs and added several modules throughput improvements. When using LTCG (/GL), in certain rare cases, the compiler could fail to realize that a global variable might be modified during program execution and instead incorrectly conclude it's constant, and improperly propagate it's initial value to locations where the global variable is used .
• Updates .NET 7 MAUI to SR8. Fixes an issue where MAUI apps cannot compile with Xcode 15 when Linker was disabled. For full release notes please visit: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/releases
• Fixed several issues related to display DPI changes that could result in a crash or hang.
• Fixed an issue where opening a folder would cause an error related to “Process Telemetry” to be displayed if certain Visual Studio Workloads or Individual Components are not installed.
