Version 1.3.0
This release adds a project selector dialog box that is accessible from the Cloud Explorer. The selector includes search functionality to help you to find your projects quickly and easily.
This release now provides two templates when creating a new project: one template for ASP.NET and one for ASP.NET Core.
Previously, you had to choose from 4 different templates when creating a new ASP.NET project for Google Cloud Platform. Now, the extension provides you with a single, consolidated template for creating your project.
This release uses the .NET Core GA images for deploying apps to App Engine and GKE. As a result, you no longer need to use the Beta component of gcloud.
