This version of MSBuild shipped with Visual Studio 2022 version 17.0.0 and .NET SDK 6.0.100.
6+
7+
### What's new
8+
9+
* MSBuild now reports its version as `17` and uses Visual Studio 2022 versions of tasks where appropriate.
10+
* MSBuild now targets .NET Framework 4.7.2 and .NET 6.0.
11+
* 64-bit MSBuild is now used for builds from Visual Studio.
12+
* Binary logs are smaller and have more information.
13+
* `MSBuildCopyContentTransitively` is now on by default, ensuring consistency in output folders on incremental builds.
14+
* The method `GetType()` can no longer be called in property functions.
15+
16+
### Detailed release notes
17+
18+
#### Added
19+
20+
* Intrinsic tasks now log their location (#6397). Thanks, @KirillOsenkov!
21+
* `TargetSkippedEventArgs` now has `TargetSkipReason` and `OriginalBuildEventContext` (#6402, #6577). Thanks, @KirillOsenkov!
22+
* `TaskStarted` events now log line and column (#6399). Thanks, @KirillOsenkov!
23+
* ETW trace events for PerformDependencyAnalysis (#6658), WriteLinesToFile (#6670), CopyUpToDate (#6661).
24+
* If the environment variable `MSBuildDebugEngine` is set, MSBuild will create binary logs for all operations to `MSBUILDDEBUGPATH` regardless of how it is called (#6639, #6792).
25+
* `ProjectReference`s can now negotiate `Platform` (#6655, #6724, #6889).
26+
* Tasks can now call `TaskLoggingHelper.LogsMessagesOfImportance` to determine if any attached logger would preserve a log message before constructing it (to save time in the not-being-logged case) (#6381, #6737).
27+
* Support referencing assemblies with generic attributes (#6735). Thanks, @davidwrighton!
28+
* XSD-based MSBuild IntelliSense now supports `ImplicitUsings` and `Using` items (#6755), `InternalsVisibleTo` (#6778), Windows Forms properties (#6860), `DebugType` (#6849), and `SatelliteResourceLanguages` (#6861). Thanks, @pranavkm, @DamianEdwards, @RussKie, and @drewnoakes!
29+
* Tasks can now call `TaskLoggingHelper.IsTaskInputLoggingEnabled` and avoid redundant logging of inputs (#6803).
30+
* Support extracting resource namespace from C# source that uses file-scoped namespaces (#6881).
31+
32+

37+
* `VCTargetsPath` now defaults to `v170` (#6550).
38+
* MSBuild no longer logs `Building with tools version "Current"` (#6627). Thanks, @KirillOsenkov!
39+
* Text loggers now log properties and items at the end of evaluation (#6535).
40+
* `MSBuildCopyContentTransitively` is now on by default, ensuring consistency in output folders on incremental builds (#6622, #6703).
41+
* MSBuild on .NET 6 has improved task-assembly-reference fallback behavior (#6558).
42+
* MSBuild features gated on the 16.8 changewave are now nonconfigurable (#6634).
