Summary

Security improvements

There are no new security improvements in this release. This update is cumulative and contains all previously released security improvements.

Quality and reliability improvements

CLR1

- In scenarios with both high numbers of assemblies and high numbers of GC heaps, Server GC can encounter serious lock contention during generation 2 GCs.A config switch has been introduced as a workaround.It can either be enabled from a .config file: <configuration>   <runtime>     <GCStaticsNoLock enabled="true"/>   </runtime> </configuration> Or by setting environment variable COMPLUS_GCStaticsNoLockto a non-zero value.  If the config switch is not enabled, behavior is unchanged compared to previous versions.

Winforms

- Addresses an issue where some Windows Forms applications that use ToolStrip controls with ToolStripControlHost, and run under UIA Accessibility Tools, could make Accessibility Tools unresponsive.

- Addresses a regression in the ComboBox item accessible object where Accessibility Tools was not able to distinguish between identical items in the ComboBox and was becoming unresponsive.
