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.
