MSBuild 16.11.0

This version of MSBuild shipped with Visual Studio 2019 version 16.11.0 and .NET SDK 5.0.400.

What's new

  • MSBuild now supports long paths in the 64-bit amd64\MSBuild.exe executable.
  • New version properties MSBuildFileVersion (4-part, matches file version) and MSBuildSemanticVersion (matches package versions) are now available for use (#6534).

Detailed release notes

Added

  • Additional properties documented and available for completion in Visual Studio (#6500, #6530).
  • The SignFile task is now available in MSBuild on .NET 5.0 (#6509). Thanks, @Zastai!
  • New version properties MSBuildFileVersion (4-part, matches file version) and MSBuildSemanticVersion (matches package versions) are now available for use (#6534).

Changed

  • When using the experimental cache API, schedule proxy builds to the in-proc node for performance (#6386).
  • Experimental cache queries are now executed in parallel (#6468).
  • The ETW events generated in ResolveAssemblyReference now include an approximation of the "size" of the RAR request (#6410).

Fixed

  • The experimental project cache is initialized only once (#6569).
  • The experimental project cache no longer tries to schedule proxy builds to the in-proc node (#6635).

Infrastructure

  • Use a packaged C# compiler to avoid changes in reference assembly generation caused by compiler changes (#6431).
