1.0.9

Release Date: 13 February 2008

Maintenance release.

Changes from 1.0.8:

•  Issue 26  - ASP.NET integration support for .NET 2.0
•  Issue 29  - Strong named assemblies

1.1.5

Release Date: 19 March 2008

First release from the 1.1 branch.

Changes since branching from 1.0:

• New syntax shortcuts, e.g. FactoryScoped(), ExternallyOwned() and Resolve<T>(string)
• IContainer replaces Container in most interfaces
• Greater extensibility: IContainer exposes registrations and registration events, with metadata describing services, extended properties, implementation type and a component id.
• The ASP.NET MVC integration has been updated to the MIX 08 version, enhanced, and now utilises the base ASP.NET integration
• Multiple configuration files are now supported
• Autofac.dll Tests pass under Mono (with Olive)
• Tags introduced to help with managing container hierarchies
• Many more virtual methods to make mocking and extension by subclassing easier
• Automatic ("lazy batch") registration – for example: builder.RegisterTypesAssignableTo<IController>().ContainerScoped()
• MSDN-style API docs built using Sandcastle
• NMock2 “auto-mocking container” integration
• Default scope is now respected by all register methods
• Module has some helpers for container extension and no longer derives from ContainerBuilder
• Basic 'startable' facility demonstrates container extension
• Assembly names now consistent between .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 versions
• Numerous internal refactorings and performance improvements

1.1.6

Release Date: 3 April 2008

Minor release compatible with 1.1.5.

Changes:

• Prevent Activating and Activated events firing twice on root container ( Issue 48 )
• Autofac assemblies marked as CLS Compliant ( Issue 50 )
• ToString() overloads on core classes improve debugging experience ( Issue 53 )
• Better error messages when singleton registrations are tagged ( Issue 54 )

Additionally, Sandcastle CHM generation is now part of the build script.
