ANNOUNCEMENT: The Spring.NET team is pleased to announce the 1.0 release candidate of Spring.NET

This release introduces an Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) framework and is a bug and feature enhancement release for the core container.

The change in release number, from 0.6 to 1.0, reflects the fact that container (Dependency Injection) and AOP functionality are the foundation libraries upon which future Spring.NET modules will be built. The previous release number was meant to indicate feature completeness with respect to the Spring.Java version and did not accurately reflect the maturity of the codebase.

Important changes include:
  • Introduction of an AOP framework
  • The container is feature complete with the Spring.Java 1.2.2 excluding Method Injection
  • Shorter XML syntax for object references and property values
  • Support for .NET 1.0
  • Integrated help in Visual Studio
See the changelog for details.
