We've released new version of our Visual Studio Code #fsharp plugin - 5.9.0. It brings full support for the .NET 6, F# 6 and updates FCS to the latest version. Huge props to Chet Husk 🔜 #MSBuild for driving this effort forward!

#npgsql and the #efcore provider for #PostgreSQL version 6.0 are up and available on nuget.org - be sure to check the release notes (some breaking changes ahead). 🔥 160 issues closed in total 🔥 1/3
