[Release News] Giraffe v5.0.0-rc-1 released!

NewsBot · 22 November 2020 11:07

Giraffe v5.0.0-rc-1 has been released.

Upgraded to .NET 5. The 5.x version of Giraffe is targeting net5.0 and dropping support for all other target frameworks. If you cannot upgrade a project to .NET 5 yet then stay on an older version of Giraffe until you can. Giraffe has always been a .NET Core centered project and in the .NET Core world (and now .NET 5 world) there is little to no reason why a project should remain on an old .NET Core version for a long time when upgrade paths are mostly as simple as changing the <TargetFramework> property in an .fsproj file.

Summary of changes going into 5.0.0-rc-1

Only supported target framework is .NET 5

Added Giraffe.EndpointRouting namespace with a version of a few routing handlers which integrate with ASP.NET Core’s endpoint routing API

Currently supported are: route, routef, subRoute and HTTP verb handlers such as GET, POST, PUT, etc.

Check the Endpoint Routing documentation for more details

Or check the EndpointRoutingApp sample app for how to use Giraffe.EndpointRouting

Replaced Giraffe.GiraffeViewEngine with the standalone NuGet package Giraffe.ViewEngine

New JsonOnlyNegotiationConfig for setting a content negotiation policy which only supports JSON serialisation (no XML for those who don’t need it)

Added SystemTextJsonSerializer which uses System.Text.Json for JSON serialisation when configured as the desired JSON serializer in Giraffe

Improved RegEx http handlers in original (non Endpoint routing) http handlers

Swapped Markdown docs for XML docs for all functions.

Added support for complex model binding (see #416)
