Why do I need to install .NET Core for newer releases?

Variance has always been multi-platform, relying on the Mono framework for non-Windows platforms. These other platforms were exposed to bugs, limitations and severe performance issues due to the Mono framework. .NET Core avoids this; performance is much more closely matched than before.

The use of a common framework on all platforms also makes development, testing and support easier across the board.
