Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Beta Is Out

On a short note, it would seem the MVC Framework has gone into Beta: Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Beta Download

I have worked with every preview, and have even released a project to production (http://www.amino.dk/lokalebors/home) and I am very excited to finally see a Beta, which will probably mean a more stable feature set.

If you want to install the beta be sure to remove all previous version of the MVC Framework. Note that the MVC assemblies will be installed to the GAC – you can still copy the assemblies to your project and release those to a server without the framework installed.

Furthermore the MVCFutures.dll is not included in the Beta, as the features in this assembly are experiments for future releases of the framework. If you still want it, you can get it from MVC on CodePlex

If you are upgrading your project from preview 5, you need to reference the new assemblies and you are going to need to add

<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html"/>

.. to the namespaces section of your web.config as a lot of the methods on the HtmlHelper class have been converted to extension methods. This allows you to completely replace the helper methods with your own, which is pretty sweet.
