ASP.NET Core updates in .NET 8 Preview 7
- ASP.NET Core now supports Antiforgery middleware, which helps protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.
- The Native AOT Request Delegate Generator now supports the interceptors feature, resulting in improved startup performance for minimal APIs.
- Web projects compiled with trimming enabled will now use Full TrimMode, reducing the size of the compiled app.
- Blazor endpoints now require antiforgery protection by default, and a new component makes it easy to generate antiforgery tokens for rendered forms.
- Server-side form handling in Blazor has been improved, including the ability to register root-level cascading values and better integration with interactive components.
- There are new API endpoints available for authentication, including a new bearer token authentication handler.
- New Visual Studio templates are available for creating single page applications (SPAs) with ASP.NET Core.
