What are the recent enhancements to the .NET Framework since 4.5?

What are the recent enhancements to the .NET Framework since 4.5?

What is the current latest released version? Are there any reasons to NOT use this latest version on a new .NET Framework MVC project?

So, what are the big updates since 4.5? And when was 4.5 released?

Thanks

I read that the SameSite update to 4.7.2 helps reduce the risk of XSS on ASP.NET applications by removing the cookie from the response that gets passed around by the browser. Is this feature so compelling it may make some legacy user want an update to 4.7.2?

Or is there a way to code that behavior in the code for older versions of .NET?
Well, on an ASP.NET site, you're only dealing with the server's framework. Your end users don't even need .NET - they're just hitting it via a browser.
thanks
