Dear Monorail users, This upcoming release is mostly (see below) a bugfix release, therefore, there shouldn't be any breaking changes unless is part of a bug fix but even those will be documented as part of the release. So if you are using v2.0 or earlier and have one or more pesty bugs annoying you, please submit it here http://support.castleproject.org/projects/MR/issuesbrowser ASAP.
If you feel like stepping in and help us fix some of the opened issues, have a look at this issues list - http://support.castleproject.org/projects/MR/issuesbrowser#criteria=view%3DOpened%20Issues%26%26p%3D1%26psize%3D10%26f.Status%3DOpen%26f.Status%3DWork%20Started%26f.Status%3DWork%20Stopped%26f.Status%3DReopened and read http://stw.castleproject.org/How-to-submit-a-fix-to-any-Castle-Project.ashx . But because it would be too boring to only have bug fixes in this release, here is a list of new features (not all features are complete yet): - Added support for inferred actions, If you have controller actions that their sole purpose is to render a view, then you are going to love this. You no longer have to declare empty actions, MR will look in your views folder and display that view automatically. If view is not found a 404 is thrown. - Added new helper called ActionHelper that invokes the specified child action and returns the result inline or as an HTML string, aka MS MVC Html.RenderAction and Html.Action see http://haacked.com/archive/2009/11/18/aspnetmvc2-render-action.aspx - Action Filter attributes - Gauthier Segay is working on this one :) - Support for anti-forgery token in post backs - - Gauthier Segay is also working on this one :) - ForHelper, this one is still a work in progress but the idea is to replicate this http://bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/aspnet-mvc-2-templates-part-1-introduction.html (I'll be committing the first cut very shortly, and this may end up replacing the existing scaffolding) - Planning to add a few enhancements to CombineJSViewComponent based on http://weblogs.asp.net/rashid/archive/2009/11/09/web-asset-enhancements-in-telerik-extensions-for-asp-net-mvc.aspx - Planning to ship Samples in zip package, these samples will be using NVelocity as the view engine (hope everyone is happy with this decision?) - VS2010 templates + resharper templates, this is not intellisense! - Windsor upgraded to v2.5 - Thinking of using Windsor container as the default IoC container in MR, but I need Krzysztof's help with this one, and it may be a big task for this release Also, I'm planning to reduce the number of assemblies in MR. So the plan is to merge Castle.MonoRail.TestSupport, Castle.MonoRail.TransformFilters and Castle.Components.Binder into Castle.Monorail.Framework. If you are using Castle.Components.Binder on its own please let us know! Finally, if you have any other suggestions, ideas or want to help the development of any of these new features let us know here, we do need your help!
