I'm especially interested in "breaking changes" page since .NET 4.8, similar to this one: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/runtime/4.7.2-4.8

@martinsuchan There are no breaking changes since 4.8. I am updating the breaking changes docs today to reflect this.

Is there documentation coming about the Arm64 support in .NET Framework 4.8.1? My understanding is that it requires some kind of opt-in from the application author, and that some features are not supported under the Arm64 version of .NET Framework. @richlander mentioned that there will be articles explaining how to opt-in to Arm64 support for .NET Framework apps -- are they coming soon? Is it required to target .NET Framework 4.8.1 for Arm64 support, or is there a way to opportunistically enable this support for apps targeting lower versions?
