Release Notes

2.0.0-alpha-1

• Updated to .NET 6 and Giraffe 6.0.0-alpha-*
• Improved performance by removing redundant ToArray functions and making XmlElement a struct

1.4.0

• Added slot and template elements
• Added .NET Standard 2.0 support for full framework support

1.3.0

Upgraded to net5.0 target framework.

Giraffe.ViewEngine version 1.2.0 and version 1.3.0 are identical in functionality. The only difference is that 1.2.0 targets netcoreapp3.1 and 1.3.0 targets net5.0. If you cannot upgrade your .NET Core project to net5.0 yet then stay on version 1.2.0.

New features and bug fixes will continue off the 1.3.0 version and therefore only target net5.0 going forward. The upgrade path from netcoreapp3.1 to net5.0 is so minimal that it is a reasonable expectation and not worth the effort to support both target frameworks.

1.2.0

• Added missing iframe element (#9)

1.1.1

• Fixed the strf function (see #6)

1.1.0

• Added strf which is a shortcut for the commonly used sprintf fmt |> encodedText function.
• Added a few missing HTML elements and attributes:
  • Elements: picture
  • Attributes: _color, _property, _srcset

1.0.0

Original port from Giraffe with additional improvements/changes:

• Zero dependency library
  • One can create a separate project for Giraffe views in their solution (.sln) with zero dependencies. This significantly speeds up compilation time and therefore improves an active development experience via dotnet watch.
• Dropped support for all target frameworks except netcoreapp3.1 in preparation for the upcoming .NET 5 release
• Renamed the namespace from GiraffeViewEngine to Giraffe.ViewEngine
• Made the ViewBuilder module private and exposed public render functions via three new modules:
  • RenderView.IntoStringBuilder replaces the old ViewBuilder functions
  • RenderView.AsString replaces all old render... functions
  • RenderView.AsBytes new module to efficiently output views as byte arrays
