RazorBlade ChangeLog

Version 4

Version 4.0 (2022-12)

  • Created a new interface IHtmlTag which is supported by all generated code, and ensures you have methods such as Add(...) or Wrap(...) when using any tag generically.
    It is available on ToSic.Razor.Blade so you don't need to add more namespaces
  • Create a new ToSic.Razor.Blade.IHtmlTagService which provides the same functionality as the static Blade.Tag API, but with immutable objects (see below)
  • All generated tags like Div, H2 etc. can now be immutable.
    • The existing ToSic.Razor.Blade.Tag.TAGNAME(...) apis continue to deliver mutable objects (like before)
    • The new IHtmlTagService provides immutable objects. This can lead to surprising effects when migrating existing code, so that should best continue to use the old Blade.Tag...
  • .net Core build now requires .net6 (previously .net5)
  • Removed the StartUp.RegisterToJson(...) method which was used at StartUp in special cases to register alternate json-serializer
  • The AttributeOptions and TagOptions were made read-only for reliable fluid / immutable APIs. This is kind of a breaking change but we believe it won't affect anybody. since it was basically an internal API which nobody used outside of this.
  • Changed minimum requirement on Razor.Blade.Dnn to be DNN 9.6.1

Version 3

Version 3.0 (2019-10-21)

Released V3 which was a complete rework and had a new root namespace.

  1. Created website with full API documentation Razor-Blade.net
  2. Created all Html5 tags and quick-accessor using Tag.xxx

Breaking Changes

We really hate to introduce breaking changes, but 3.0 was a good opportunity for this.

  1. Renamed everything to use the namespace ToSic.Razor.Blade from previously Connect.Razor.Blade. This was improtant, because we decided to release RazorBlade as a NuGet package, and the previous namespace Connect didn't make any sense.
  2. Renamed the DLL to be in-line with the changes, which also means that previous code still works, because the new namespace can run side-by-side with the previous one
  3. Reorganized some internal APIs, so they won't disturb in public documentation
  4. Modified the Text.First() method so it could now take an unlimited amount of strings to pick the first one.
  5. Moved primary repo in Github to 2sic
