.NET 5.0 has reached “RC” stage which means no more features will be added and it’s time to start testing your projects with .NET 5.0!

To help you start with .NET 5.0 development, we’ve baked the Visual Studio 2019 Preview image with the latest Visual Studio 2019 Preview and .NET 5.0.
In addition to VS 2019 Preview, it has the same software as on Visual Studio 2019 image.

You can select Visual Studio 2019 Preview image in “Build worker image” dropdown on Environment tab of project settings (if project configured on UI) or configure in appveyor.yml:

Enjoy!
