3.3

• Support for latest CSharp Features
  You can now provide the CSharpCodeProvider that is used to compile Razor templates. This requires adding the Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform and adding a <codeDom> section to the host project. We don't provide this in-box due to the large size of the compiler, so you get the lightweight CSharp 5.0 implementation out of box, and you can add Roslyn based compilation (~17meg package!) explicitly to your own application.

• Host Container ThrowExceptions Option
  You can now have the Razor Host Containers throw exceptions when an error occurs rather than returning error information on the error message property. A custom exception is thrown that provides more information about the current request and engine.

• StringHostContainer to match constructor format
  Add overload to generic type overload of the StringHostContainer in the same way you can overload FolderHostContainer. Makes it easier to create application level hosts derived from a specific template.

• RawString Default and Empty Property
  Added RawString.Empty property which returns a new empty RawString instance. Default instance now also returns string.Empty (rather than null before).

Version 3.1

• Support for Layout Pages with RazorFolderHostContainer
  You can now use the Layout property in your templates when using the RazorFolderHostContainer class to render Razor Views using @{ Layout = " ~\_Layout.cshtml" } relative to the folder root.

• Add inferModelType option for string RenderTemplate() methods
  Added option to allow inferring the model type if no @model or @inherits
  tags are provided in the template. If set this flag adds the model type
  to the template to force a strongly typed model. Note that this feature
  only works for string template rendering in RazorEngine.RenderTemplate()
  and StringHostContainer.RenderTemplate(). Stream and file based renderers
  do not have this feature and must explicitly specify the model type.

• Updated Documentation Site
  Updated the documentation site to use the latest Help Builder templates from old very outdated old MSDN style templates. Yikes! 😄 Updated content for version 3.0 improvements and added latest generated class documentation.

Version 3.0

• Update to Razor Version 3
  Updated to the latest version of the Razor Engine distributed
  with MVC 5. Fix various issues that are a result of the
  new rendering engine.

• Require .NET 4.5 to run
  The Razor Libraries version 3 requires .NET 4.5 so this library
  is updating to the same .NET version.

• Support for @Helper
  You can now use Razor Helpers using the @Helper syntax supported
  in core Razor. Helpers allow you to create small function like
  Razor snippets that can either act as functions or execute razor
  templates to provide reusability.

• Version numbers in Sync with Razor Version
  Decided to keep the library version in sync with Razor version.

• RazorHostContainerBase now implements IDisposable
  Container hosts are now IDisposable which makes it easier to stop them when
  they are released. Default Dispose() behavior stops the engine and releases
  all cached assemblies
