2016-08-11, v1.0.4

[2016-09-01 Update] A shell script is available which largely automates downloading and installing Microsoft.NETCore.App 1.0.1. Copy this to your home directory and run with . install-1.0.1. You may be prompted for permissions when the script attempts to copy the 1.0.1 directory to the dotnet location.

A few updates released for the Microsoft.NetCore.Runtime.CoreCLR and Microsoft.NETCore.Jit packages.

• #5837 - Assertion failed in assemblybinder.cpp
• #6016 - CoreCLR runtime doesn't work on Linux kernel 4.6.x
• #6460 - JIT does not handle invalid file descriptors during startup

All changes under commit e4d5001206.

To make use of the updated CoreCLR and JIT in your application, add "Microsoft.NETCore.Runtime.CoreCLR":"1.0.4" to the project dependencies section of the project.json, restore, rebuild and deploy. Here's a complete example of a project.json edited to use this update.

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "buildOptions": {
    "debugType": "portable",
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.NETCore.Runtime.CoreCLR":"1.0.4"
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
          "type": "platform",
          "version": "1.0.0"
        }
      },
      "imports": "dnxcore50"
    }
  },
  "runtimes":{
    "osx.10.10-x64":{},
    "win10-x64": {},
    "linux-x64":{}
  }
}

After running dotnet restore your project.lock.json will have a number of new entries. Notably, in the libraries section you'll see the following which indicates dependencies associated with the CoreCLR 1.0.4 update are also included.

"Microsoft.NETCore.Runtime.CoreCLR/1.0.4": {
        "type": "package",
        "dependencies": {
          "Microsoft.NETCore.Jit": "1.0.4",
          "Microsoft.NETCore.Windows.ApiSets": "1.0.1"
        }
      }
