There is no .NET Core 5.0, everything now comes under one umbrella, which is .NET 5 (A Major Release). The idea is to bring all .NET runtimes into a single .NET platform with unified base class libraries (BCL) for all kinds of application like ASP.NET Core, Windows Forms, WPF, Blazor, Xamarin etc. This move now makes .NET a unified platform for all types of .NET applications. If you are working with ASP.NET Core 3.1 app, and planning to upgrade the app to .NET 5 then it’s very easy to upgrade ASP.NET Core Web 3.1 app to ASP.NET Core 5.
