What's New in Aspire 13.5.2
Patch release for Aspire 13.5 that removes an unused native helper binary from the Windows CLI archives so 13.5 servicing releases stay publishable to WinGet.
🐛 Fixes
- 🪟 Windows CLI archives shipped an unused ~4.9 MB
hex1bpty.exe— The Windows CLI archives (aspire-cli-win-{x64,arm64}-*.zip) bundled Hex1b's out-of-process PTY host, which Aspire never executes (DCP owns every pseudo-terminal Aspire surfaces). Besides the wasted download, the extra unexplained executable stalled the WinGet publish, since every binary in the archive goes through executable and malware validation. A build-only MSBuild target now drops the file from the CLI publish output; Unix native assets are unaffected. Regression new in 13.5. ([#19557](#19557), backport of #19554,@mitchdenny)
