So, amazingly little change from the 4.6.2 version and yet it is bumped an entire minor version to 4.7 instead of to 4.6.3 which would represent how little it has actually changed.
Can anyone tell me of a significant update or addition in this version that makes it worth being a new minor version?

Nope.. but to ask another question - aren't people more excited about .NET Core than (what is probably now 'legacy') .NET 4.x.x?
I know it can be an almost impossible job to get companies to invest in big changes, but as developers we usually like to jump onto the next big thing.. Personally I like the new possibilities for .NET Core (cross-platform development, containerisation (if that's even a word  ), additional built-in features) - all my own new .NET projects are .NET Core.
What are the rest of you doing? Sticking with legacy or putting steps in place to move to Core?
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

".NET Core"; what's that?

i will not be moving to core until they have entity framework working at least as well as it does in 4.6.2

Well we could do with automatic migrations but it seems fine apart from that..

Nope. I'll get excited when CORE is debugged and develops real traction in the industry. It remains to be seen if .NET 4.x.x is legacy ... CORE has a long way to go to make that happen.
Earlier in my career I jumped on new things immediately, but my enthusiasm for learning things that will go the way of the dodo has waned. My wake is littered with projects that died when the technology they were implemented in failed to gain industry traction ... no need to seek to add to that collection, it will happen all on its own.

I can understand that, but it looks like .NET Core is the preferred (and IMO logical) direction from Microsoft.
I don't jump at every new technology announced but with .NET Core 2 due to be released I'd say it that makes sense for anyone currently involved with ASP.NET to take a very close look at it, otherwise you may well end up "going the way of the dodo"

I agree, it makes sense for Microsoft to go multi-platform. In the current environment, it's idiocy for them not to. But that doesn't meant that CORE will be successful. Microsoft, Google, (name any large IT products company) all have failed product lines.
Granted, people jumping on CORE will ultimately contribute to making it successful ... but I won't be one of them. Too lazy, I guess.

Your point is well taken -- IT people should keep up with technology, else we end up unemployable when our favored technology finally dies. And they all die ... eventually. But some fight going out:
In 1981 a college professor told me that there was absolutely no point in learning COBOL as the language would be completely dead within 5 years. I have a buddy who has come out of retirement at least 3 times that I know of (he gets bored) for COBOL contracts. No one has managed to stake the COBOL vampire yet ... far too many legacy applications.
In a related thread, VB6 is still alive and well, despite many reports of its death. VS6 can be installed under Win10 and there are thousands of active VB6 applications in production around the world; VB6 is consistently 12th or 13th on various lists of "most popular languages". I have a feeling VB6 will last like COBOL has ... especially since VB6 is alive and well under the assumed name "VBA" in every Microsoft Office product (plus other non-MS products).
That said, I'm relatively happy in the C# world, not living in a shrinking niche.

To be fair, there are going to be a lot of legacy (everything up to .NET 4.x) .NET systems in use for decades, particularly in large organisations, banks, etc..
I still get to work on active .NET 2.0 projects with no plans to upgrade, change or replace them in the near to medium future. We'll be busy for a long time

There is a well-written series of articles by Jonathan Allan on InfoQ that has been covering the new "features." Kent is often citing these on the "Insider News" forum. Start here: [^]. Maybe examine: [^].
