title: How to specify the assembly version for a .NET Core project?
body: <p>I noticed in new .NET Core projects there is no <code>AssemblyInfo.cs</code> file created. I have seen that you can still set assembly attributes such as <code>AssemblyVersion</code> and so forth. </p>
  
  <p>Are there still any valid reasons to use an AssemblyInfo.cs file?</p>
