It shipped! Here it is.
Here’s what’s new:
This major release of Enterprise Library contains many compelling new features and updates that will make developers more productive. There are no new blocks; instead the team focused on making the existing blocks shine, on testability, maintainability and learnability. The new features include:
- Major architectural refactoring that provides improved testability and maintainability through full support of the dependency injection style of development
- Dependency injection container independence (Unity ships with Enterprise Library, but you can replace Unity with a container of your choice)
- Programmatic configuration support, including a fluent configuration interface and an XSD schema to enable IntelliSense
- Redesign of the configuration tool to provide:
- A more usable and intuitive look and feel
- Extensibility improvements through meta-data driven configuration visualizations that replace the requirement to write design time code
- A wizard framework that can help to simplify complex configuration tasks
- Data accessors for more intuitive processing of data query results
- Asynchronous data access support
- Honoring validation attributes between Validation Application Block attributes and DataAnnotations
- Integration with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) validation mechanisms
- Support for complex configuration scenarios, including additive merge from multiple configuration sources and hierarchical merge
- Optimized cache scavenging
- Better performance when logging
- Support for the .NET 4.0 Framework and integration with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
- Improvements to Unity
- A reduction of the number of assemblies
