13.5.2

What's New in Aspire 13.5.2

Patch release for Aspire 13.5 that removes an unused native helper binary from the Windows CLI archives so 13.5 servicing releases stay publishable to WinGet.

🐛 Fixes

• 🪟 Windows CLI archives shipped an unused ~4.9 MB hex1bpty.exe — The Windows CLI archives (aspire-cli-win-{x64,arm64}-*.zip) bundled Hex1b's out-of-process PTY host, which Aspire never executes (DCP owns every pseudo-terminal Aspire surfaces). Besides the wasted download, the extra unexplained executable stalled the WinGet publish, since every binary in the archive goes through executable and malware validation. A build-only MSBuild target now drops the file from the CLI publish output; Unix native assets are unaffected. Regression new in 13.5. ([#​19557]([release/13.5] Exclude unused hex1bpty.exe from published CLI archives aspire#19557), backport of #​19554, @​mitchdenny)

🏷️ Housekeeping

• 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.5.2

13.5.1

What's New in Aspire 13.5.1

Patch release for Aspire 13.5 fixing a TypeScript/Java polyglot AppHost compatibility regression when running the 13.5 SDK under an older (13.4.x) CLI, plus a DCP update and release-pipeline housekeeping.

🐛 Fixes

• 🍎 Polyglot AppHosts could crash on startup on macOS — On macOS, polyglot (TypeScript/Python/Java/Go/Rust) AppHosts could crash during startup due to an interaction between how DCP's Go runtime forks detached processes and how .NET Native AOT installs its signal handlers. Updated DCP (Developer Control Plane) to 0.25.13 to resolve the crash. ([#​19528]([release/13.5] [main] Update dependencies from microsoft/dcp aspire#19528))

• 🔗 Polyglot AppHosts on the 13.5 SDK crashed under an older CLI with MissingMethodException — A TypeScript or Java AppHost built with the 13.5 SDK failed to start when launched by an older (13.4.x) CLI, because the newer codegen called Aspire.TypeSystem members that don't exist in the CLI's older contract. Code generation now probes for these additive capabilities before using them, so older CLIs skip only the unsupported feature and startup succeeds. Regression introduced in 13.5 by #​19365. Fixes #​19503. ([#​19524]([release/13.5] Preserve TypeSystem compatibility with older CLIs aspire#19524), backport of #​19506, @​adamint)

🏷️ Housekeeping

• 📦 Updated DCP (Developer Control Plane) to 0.25.13 ([#​19528]([release/13.5] [main] Update dependencies from microsoft/dcp aspire#19528))

• 🔧 Restored WinGet publication using .NET 9 wingetcreate ([#​19509]([release/13.5] fix(release): Restore WinGet publication with .NET 9 wingetcreate aspire#19509))

• 🧹 Removed the pipeline-scoped Publish-Build-Assets group from the release pipeline ([#​19523]([release/13.5] Remove pipeline-scoped Publish-Build-Assets group aspire#19523), [#​19163](Remove Publish-Build-Assets variable group from release/13.5 aspire#19163))

• 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.5.1 ([#​19531](Increment patch version from 0 to 1 aspire#19531))

13.5.0

Aspire 13.5.0

Aspire 13.5 is a developer-experience release focused on a richer, more interactive AppHost, closer C# and TypeScript parity, sharper tooling, more flexible deployment modeling, and a broad set of runtime-stability improvements.

Highlights

• 💬 Richer AppHost interactions — The Interaction Service now works across C# and TypeScript AppHosts with stable prompts and dynamic inputs, file uploads, progress dialogs, notifications, and user-defined resource command arguments that surface as dashboard controls and CLI options.
• 🖥️ Interactive terminal sessions — The experimental WithTerminal() API lets resources host REPLs, shells, TUIs, and other interactive programs directly in the dashboard, with an opt-in aspire terminal CLI command for attaching from your shell.
• 🌐 TypeScript AppHost is generally available — Polyglot AppHosts no longer require the ASPIREATS001 experimental diagnostic and gain custom health checks, container file copying, HTTPS developer certificates, faster startup, and several reliability fixes that further close the gap with C#.
• 🛠️ CLI installation and reliability — The Aspire CLI is available through npm and Nix alongside Homebrew, WinGet, mise, and NuGet. New C# AppHosts enable the CLI bundle by default, while aspire stop --force, aspire update --migrate, aspire doctor, docs search, signal handling, and stale-socket cleanup all improve day-to-day workflows.
• 🎨 Refreshed dashboard — The dashboard adopts official Aspire branding and a new accessible design-token system, with timestamp and exact numeric telemetry filters, console-log text search, clearer reconnect and health-check experiences, and correct telemetry streaming while filters are active.
• 💻 Rebranded VS Code extension — The extension is now named Aspire and adds an in-editor dashboard, Bun and MAUI debugging, resource commands in the tree view, discovered AppHosts, improved parameter handling, and more efficient workspace discovery.
• ☸️ More expressive deployments — Kubernetes and AKS gain first-class persistent volumes, Azure Container Apps adds deterministic unique resource naming, Azure environments support delegated subnets, and Docker Compose can publish Blazor gateways and configure shared memory.
• ☁️ Expanded hosting integrations — Azure resources can be referenced across resource groups, subscriptions, and tenants; the new Aspire.Hosting.Dotnet package models .NET projects by path; Radius deployment arrives in preview; and Foundry Local, Redis modules, dev tunnels, Go debugging, and other integrations gain new capabilities.

⚠️ Breaking changes

Notable changes include hosting context ServiceProvider properties being renamed to Services, PublishAsConnectionString becoming obsolete in favor of AddConnectionString, removal of aspire ps --resources and --include-hidden in favor of aspire describe, earlier proxyless endpoint port allocation, deprecation of the GitHub Models integration, removal of the dashboard AI Assistant, and opt-in rather than automatic dashboard launch from the VS Code extension.

🔍 Build Failure Analysis

Summary — All CI legs (Linux/macOS/Windows × Debug/Release) fail identically at evaluation time in the _ValidateBundledSdkFeatureVersions target: this PR bumps the Aspire.Hosting.Testing PackageVersion to 13.5.2 but leaves the paired AspireHostingTestingVersion MSBuild property at 13.4.6, tripping the drift-guard <Error> in Directory.Build.targets.

Root cause: AspireHostingTestingVersion property not bumped alongside the PackageVersion

Directory.Packages.props intentionally keeps two copies of the Aspire.Hosting.Testing version in sync:

• The AspireHostingTestingVersion property (near the top of the file, in the Product dependencies PropertyGroup) — consumed at build time and baked into the shipped MSTest.Sdk template.
• The Aspire.Hosting.Testing PackageVersion item (near the bottom, in the Declared by MSTest.Sdk but not used directly ItemGroup) — the one Dependabot updates.

This PR's diff only touches the PackageVersion line (13.4.6 → 13.5.2), which is exactly the documented, expected Dependabot behavior noted in the file's own comment: "Dependabot only updates the PackageVersion". The _ValidateBundledSdkFeatureVersions target in Directory.Build.targets (line 128) then fails the build because the two values no longer match — this is by design, to prevent the shipped SDK template from silently drifting from the actual restored package version.

Affected files / errors

• Directory.Packages.props — AspireHostingTestingVersion property still 13.4.6, needs to become 13.5.2.
• Directory.Build.targets:128 — _ValidateBundledSdkFeatureVersions error firing in every leg.

Proposed fix

In Directory.Packages.props, update the property definition (this line is not part of the PR's diff, so it cannot be delivered as an inline suggestion, and the file lives outside src//test/ so it is also outside the scope of the automated fix-commit path):

-    <AspireHostingTestingVersion>13.4.6</AspireHostingTestingVersion>
+    <AspireHostingTestingVersion>13.5.2</AspireHostingTestingVersion>

A maintainer needs to apply this one-line manual edit (or Dependabot can recreate/rebase after it's applied).

Build overview

All 6 primary build legs (Linux Debug/Release, macOS Debug/Release, Windows Debug/Release) fail identically with:

error : AspireHostingTestingVersion ('13.4.6') is out of sync with the 'Aspire.Hosting.Testing' PackageVersion ('13.5.2') in Directory.Packages.props. Update the AspireHostingTestingVersion property to match (Dependabot only updates the PackageVersion).

Project: src/Package/MSTest.Sdk/MSTest.Sdk.csproj, Target: _ValidateBundledSdkFeatureVersions, Directory.Build.targets:128.

The two Windows_application-model_acceptance_Debug legs reported no errors (they likely never reached this evaluation-time check).

All MSBuild errors

Code	Project	File:Line	Message
Error (custom)	MSTest.Sdk.csproj	Directory.Build.targets:128	AspireHostingTestingVersion ('13.4.6') is out of sync with the Aspire.Hosting.Testing PackageVersion (13.5.2)
