Script# Release History

Previous Build (0.5.5.0, 11/29/2009)

Changes to existing features:

Scriptlet server control no longer supports embedded code within a Code tag. Instead you must use either a precompiled scriptlet (defined in a Script# class library), or in a sibling .scriptlet file (eg. Foo.aspx.scriptlet alongside Foo.aspx)
Scriptlets no longer depend on the ScriptFX framework. They only require functionality defined in sscorlib.js.
Script# no longer defines $ shortcut for document.getElementById to remove conflicts with other frameworks like prototype and jQuery
Enable generation of localized scripts without having the specified culture installed on the development/build machine
Generated resource manager code is marked with [GeneratedCode] attribute.
Minor DOM metadata updates

Interesting bug fixes:

Fix generation of bitwise compare operators and equality/inequality checks
Fix generation of minimized code in various scenarios (incl. partial classes, name preservation for interface members, enum.toString etc.)
[PreserveCase] now applies to enum fields and not enum types for named enums
Match c# semantics on members defaulting to private when no access modifier is specified
Fix generation of global, non-namespaced types
Fixed scriptlet code editing where last line of scriptlet code used to be truncated
Fixed implementation of String.quote
Validate ScriptName passed in into compiler

Additions and new features:

Enable creating top-level classes outside a namespace block
AlternateSignature feature (see doc) to enable creating overloads and optional parameter methods
PreserveName attribute to suppress minimization of specific member names and type names
