## What it is
A GitHub repository used by the ASP.NET team to post announcements about major changes, including breaking changes, in ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core. Users subscribe to its issue events to stay informed, with announcements organized by labels and release milestones.

## Use cases
- stay notified of breaking changes in ASP.NET Core
- track major changes in Entity Framework Core releases
- find announcements for a specific release milestone like 2.0.0
- review what changed before upgrading an ASP.NET Core app
- subscribe to issue events for framework update alerts

## When to choose
- you develop or maintain ASP.NET Core or EF Core applications and want early warning of breaking changes
- you are planning an upgrade and need release-specific change lists
- you want an official, low-noise channel for framework announcements

## When to avoid
- you need to file bugs or ask questions - use the relevant aspnet repo instead
- you want general community discussion rather than official announcements
- you need documentation or tutorials rather than change notices

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: announcements, aspnet-core, entity-framework-core, breaking-changes, release-notes, subscription
