Baixar NetPad 0.9.0 per a Windows

Its been a while since the last release; war affects us all unfortunately.
Until now, packaging binaries for every supported platform was done manually. It was slow, error-prone and just no fun at all. We now have automated CD pipelines that makes it much easier. The plan is to have a more frequent release cycle. There are a lot of new improvements coming—stay tuned.

What's New 🚀
Database Connection Query Speed
A main focus of this release was improving the user experience when running scripts with database connections (#196).
Prior to this release, scripts targeting a connection were slow to start, mainly due to Entity Framework's long startup
time. A new execution model was introduced so that this cost is only paid on the first run of a script, later runs will
be much faster even if your code changes.
How script execution works in NetPad
To improve performance and enable advanced features, NetPad uses a background process called script-host. This process is launched once, per script, and reused across multiple script runs, reducing startup time after the first execution.
The script-host also enables features like in-memory caching (introduced in this release) and lazy-loading of navigation properties in Dump output (coming in the next version).
The script-host process is automatically restarted in certain situations, including:
1. When you manually stop a running script.
2. When the .NET SDK version or selected database connection for a script changes.
3. When dependencies are modified—for example, after re-scaffolding a database connection.
In these cases, the next script run may take longer to start, but subsequent runs will be much faster.
Utility Helper
A handy new Util class is now available (#166) to enhance your scripting experience with built-in helpers for
dumping data, caching, environment access, and more.
See the Util wiki page.
Caching
The Util class has an in-memory Cache property that can be used to store data and then access it in later script
runs. Example:
var albums = Util.Cache.GetOrAdd("albums", () => Albums.ToArray());
var albums = await Util.Cache.GetOrAddAsync("albums", () => await Albums.ToArrayAsync());
MemCache Pane
A new pane called MemCache will now appear on the right side of the interface, displaying the values you've cached
in code. Clicking an item in this pane will dump it to the output pane. Hover over an item to see more info.
User Interface
Various UI improvements for better usability, clearer visuals, and more intuitive interactions across the app.
- The Save icon now shows an indicator when a script has unsaved changes, and is disabled when not needed.
- The Namespaces pane textbox has improved styling and a new icon.
- The selected editor tab is now more visually distinct.
- Icon colors have been subtly refined for better consistency.
- Pane dividers now show clearer drag handles on hover.
- The Scripts Explorer displays the number of scripts in each folder.
- You can now switch the layout direction of the Explorer pane.
- Status messages in the status bar can be dismissed with a right-click.
- Minor styling update to the "References" link in the editor.
- Two new menu items have been added to improve navigation and accessibility:
- Tools — A new top-level menu with some utilities and tools.
- Help > Wiki — A new submenu item that opens NetPad's wiki pages for quick access to documentation.
Status Visibility
Script status is now easier to see at a glance. Editor tabs display a colored line that indicates when a script is
running or stopping, helping you quickly spot active scripts across tabs.
I'm experimenting with this subtle visual cue and would love your feedback—would you prefer something more prominent,
like a colored status bar? Let me know what feels right to you.
The status bar at the bottom of the window also provides clearer, more informative messages about script activity.
Additionally, the timer on the far left has been improved: it now more accurately reflects the actual execution time
of your script, excluding setup overhead that was previously included.
Others
- Improved reliability of the "Stop Script" mechanism.
- Wrapped long documentation text in IntelliSense popups for better readability.
- New installations now default to colorful icons (Settings > General > Icon Theme).
- Updated and expanded several Wiki pages.
Fixes 🐛

- Fixes #287: Private NuGet sources breaking script execution.
- Fixes #296: Issue loading referenced assemblies.

- Fix some zoom menu items.
- Captures current code when user clicks Run to prevent further code edits from affecting current run.
- Other minor fixes and optimizations.
