The latest version of C# language, C# 6.0 was just announced. C# 6.0 is also a part of Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 2015. C# 6.0 does not have any major new concepts of features but focuses on cleaner and leaner code.
Some of the key features introduced in C# 6.0 are the following:
- Getter only auto properties
- Initializers for auto properties
- Methods and properties with expression bodies
- Member access that protects against null
- Interpolated strings
- Index initializers
- The nameof operator
- Exception filters in exception handling
- Await in catch and finally
Watch Mads Torgersen, Language PM for C# talks about these new features of C# 6.0.

I've just noticed some further changes to the proposed features of C# 6.0 which I don't think have been announced previously, Firstly, interpolated strings are going to be convertible to IFormattable which will enable them to be formatted later for a specific locale. It's also planned that interpolation will be available for both regular and verbatim strings. Secondly, using static will now enable the static members of any type - class, struct or enum - and not just static classes to be imported. Also the syntax will be 'using static' and not just 'using' to distinguish it from other uses of the latter.
