Editorial and sourcing policy

Last updated: 16 October 2026

Sources

Stories are based only on official, publicly available sources: Microsoft developer blogs, the official .NET release metadata, Azure update announcements and official GitHub repositories and release pages. We use their RSS/Atom feeds and public APIs, respect robots.txt for feeds, keep request volumes low, and never bypass logins, paywalls or other access controls.

How articles are written

• Each article separates what the source states (marked “From the source”) from our interpretation (marked “Analysis”).
• Version numbers, dates and CVE identifiers come from the source. Automated checks hold back any article that mentions a version number not found in the source.
• We do not republish source articles. Short quotations are attributed and limited, and automated checks reject drafts that copy long passages.
• Every article links to its original source and relevant documentation.
• Every article is built from the facts in its official source. No article is published with invented APIs, benchmarks, quotes, features or versions.

Quality checks and human review

Before publication, every draft is checked for source validity, duplicates, completeness, broken or unexpected links, missing metadata, unsupported version claims, date problems, embedded markup and copying. Security advisories, releases that list CVEs and breaking-change announcements require approval from a person before they are published.

Bylines

Articles are credited to the DotNet Brief news desk. We do not invent author names or credentials.
