Interim Release

This is an interim release to allow some of the enhancements to be used in production code, unless you explicitly need anything listed here, we recommend using an earlier stable release.

• 🆕 The GetHash and GetHashString extension methods now support an optional HashAlgorithm. (see #12)
• 🐛 When using the configuration system in ASP.NET, particularly with async controllers the HttpContext.Current context does not always propagate to background threads meaning it may be null when tested. This can cause the active configuration to fail to load. (see #13)
• 🆕 Added new blitting support, for optimal conversion of types to their corresponding byte data. (see #20)
• 🐛 Fixed bug in WeakConcurrentDictionary (see #21)
• 🐛 Fixed bug with ILMerge in Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 (see #23)
• 🆕 Added the ability to manually call dispose on SqlProgram to allow for resources to be kept alive whilst streaming from the DB (see #24)

All packages are available on Nuget.

First Stable Public Release

This release has numerous stability enhancements and fixes, particularly around the NuGet and build process (see Issues #1, #2 and #3).

NOTE: There are a number of breaking changes, which will require modifications if you have used an earlier version.

• ⚠️ WebApplications.Initializer is no longer present (see Issue #4), instead you only need to define the ModuleInitializer constant on your project settings when including the WebApplications.Utilities NuGet. A default ModuleInitializer.cs class is included - set the Build Action to None if you do not want it to be compiled.
• ⚠️ILMerge is also built in to the WebApplications.Utilities NuGet, set up examples to follow.
• ⚠️The Configuration system has been reworked and will more accurately detect changes to underlying configuration files (see Issue #7) - the various events and arguments have now changed.
• 🆕 Configuration Sections can now contain custom XML (see Issue #6).
• 🆕 The Cryptography system has been entirely rewritten (see Issues #5 and #12) and improved.
• 🆕 Added new BufferedAction which is particularly useful for grouping events, etc. (see Issue #8)
• 🆕 Added new XObject.DeepEquals method for far better XML comparison (see Issue #9).
• 🆕 Added rich new difference engine (see Issue #10).

All packages are available on Nuget.
