The following are the new features of the .NET Framework 4.6
64-bit JIT Compiler for managed code
The .NET Framework 4.6 features a new version of the 64-bit JIT compiler. This compiler provides significant performance improvements over the existing 64-bit JIT compiler.
Changes in Base Class Library
There are so many new APIs have been added to this new .NET Framework to enable key scenarios, especially for the Cross-Platform environment. The CultureInfo.CurrentCulture and CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture properties are now read-write rather than read-only. Additional collections implement ReadOnlyCollection<T> such as Queue<T> and Stack<T>. It implement System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection, including System.Collections.Generic.Queue and System.Collections.Generic.Stack.
Resizing in Windows Forms controls
The .NET Framework 4.6 expanded some namespaces that enable us to resize Windows Forms forms. This is an opt-in feature.
To enable it, set the EnableWindowsFormsHighDpiAutoResizing element to true in the application configuration (app.config) file.
Support for code page encodings
The core .NET Framework primarily supports Unicode encodings and by default it provides limited support for code page encodings. We can add support for code page encodings that are available in the .NET Framework but unsupported in .NET Core by registering code page encodings with the Encoding.RegisterProvider method.
Open-source .NET Framework packages
Some great .NET packages such as the Immutable Collections and SIMD APIs are now available, open source, on GitHub. GitHub is a repository that contains the foundation libraries that make up the .NET Core development stack.
Improvements to event tracing
An EventSource object can now be constructed directly and you can call one of the Write() methods to emit a self-describing event.
.Net Native
It is a pre-compilation technology for building and deploying Windows Store apps. It compiles apps that are written in managed code (Like Visual C#) and that target the .NET Framework to native code. It is quite different from Just-In-Time (JIT) as well as the Native Image Generator (NGEN).
