Reviewers:
I'm hoping to get this PR in quickly to clean up the What's New include file names before I add some more updates in a following PR based on up to date release notes.
Preview version suffixes (
-preview-N/-previewN) on the What's New in .NET 11 include filenames add churn when a feature is updated for a later preview, and serve no purpose. This drops the suffixes and updates the references.Changes
aspnetcore/release-notes/aspnetcore-11/includes/viagit mv(history preserved), stripping the trailing preview suffix. Version-like numbers that belong to the feature name are untouched (http3-early-request-processing,openapi-3-2-default,openapi-3-2-support).aspnetcore/release-notes/aspnetcore-11.md: updated all 29[!INCLUDE[]link paths to match; refreshedms.date..github/skills/whats-new-include-content-rules/SKILL.md: the file-naming convention previously required a-preview-{N}suffix (with an enforcing validation-checklist item and performance-file exception). Flipped to forbid it so the automation and contributors don't re-introduce the suffixes. Content-level guidance (no preview numbers in body text) is unchanged.Verification
36 include references map 1:1 to 36 files on disk — no broken links, no orphaned includes, no remaining preview-suffixed filenames.
Note on scope
The issue asks only for the rename + link updates. The skill edit is included because that rule is the root cause that would regenerate the suffixes on the next preview; it's isolated to one file and can be dropped independently if you'd prefer to handle the guidance change separately.
