+
+## Key Improvements
+
+1. **Security Enhancements**: All packages now include the latest security patches and improvements
+2. **Performance**: Updated packages include performance optimizations
+3. **Compatibility**: All projects now use consistent, up-to-date package versions
+4. **Predictable Builds**: Removed wildcard version references (4.*, 8.*) for deterministic builds
+5. **Long-term Support**: Updated MAUI project from .NET 6 to .NET 8 LTS
+
+## Best Practices Applied
+
+1. **Specific Version References**: Replaced all wildcard versions with specific version numbers
+2. **Latest Stable Versions**: Used the most recent stable releases, not preview versions
+3. **Consistent Versioning**: Ensured all Microsoft.Identity.Web packages use the same version
+4. **Framework Alignment**: Updated framework targets to supported LTS versions
+
+## Verification
+
+All updated projects have been tested and successfully compile with the new package versions:
+- ✅ `console-cli/cli.csproj` - Build successful
+- ✅ `web-app-aspnet/WebApp.csproj` - Build successful
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Test all updated samples with actual authentication scenarios
+2. Update documentation to reflect new package versions
+3. Consider updating any code that might use deprecated APIs
+4. Run integration tests to ensure authentication flows still work correctly
+
+## Package Version Reference
+
+For future updates, always check:
+- [Microsoft.Identity.Client NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Identity.Client/)
+- [Microsoft.Identity.Web NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Identity.Web/)
+- [Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK/)
+- [ASP.NET Core releases](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/releases.md)
