ASP .NET MVC RC2 Announced

One of the few things announced at the MVP Summit we CAN talk about is the just released RC2 for ASP .NET MVC.

One of the main things to know is a change that was made in the installer.  The installer will require that the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 be installed.  This is mainly for the development environment and does not keep you from doing a bin deployment to a server without SP1 of the 3.5 Frameowrk.

Another new feature again with the installer is a Server-Only install mode.  Which enables installing on a server that does not have Visual Studio installed. 

Some of the more interesting updated in this release:

  • jQuery 1.2.6 was replaced with jQuery 1.3.1 
  • New overload of the ValidationSummary method
  • DefaultModelBinder Validation Messages are now localizable 

 You can find out more about the reason for the change and get links to the download at Phil Haack's post.

If you have been keeping your eyes on the ASP .NET MVC project you will be interested to know that Preview 5 has been released.

Here a few things from the release notes:

This ASP.NET MVC CodePlex Preview 5 is an interim release that contains some new features and some feature improvements for which the ASP.NET MVC team would like to receive feedback from the community. As always, feel free to provide feedback on the ASP.NET MVC forums.
Note: Before you run the ASP.NET MVC CodePlex Preview 5 installer, be sure to uninstall any earlier previews of ASP.NET MVC that you might have installed. In addition, close all instances of Visual Studio 2008.
The following issues are addressed in this release (see the Release Notes for more detail on any changes)

  • Html Helpers need to look into ModelState to get attempted value
  • Add a convenience overload for Html.ActionLink
