CSLA 4.5 version 4.5.11 beta available

I have released a beta of CSLA .NET: version 4.5.11, working toward a final release in a few weeks.

CSLA .NET is an open source software development framework that helps you build a reusable, scalable, and maintainable object-oriented business layer for your applications.

This update includes a few interesting features/changes.

  1. Adds support for Windows Phone 8 (WP8) development on the Windows Phone Runtime (WinPRT) platform
  2. Simplifies support for ASP.NET MVC 3 and ASP.NET MVC 4, as well as ADO.NET EF 4 and 5 by splitting functionality into separate assemblies and nuget packages
  3. Changes the local data portal to have the same behavior as a remote data portal for async calls; specifically this means that the local data portal automatically shifts all async requests onto a background thread from the thread pool
  4. Transactional attribute now allows you to set the isolation level
  5. Various bug fixes

You can get this prerelease version from nuget in Visual Studio, or you can download the new Wix-based installer from the CSLA download page.

Somewhere you must have a page describing what csla is and how to use it. Can you put a link to that on every blog post you do so that those of us who don't know what clsa is can find out.

Seriously, a boilerplate line "CLSA is a xxxx. Find out more here..." stuck on the bottom of each clsa post you do would be kinda helpful.

Hahaha, good idea @Sean.

I've been building CSLA for so long (over 17 years) that I sometimes forget that there are always new people coming into the industry and/or the Microsoft ecosystem. And of course marketing of even a well-established product can never really stop (hence Coca Cola still buys time on TV).

I added a line as you suggest. Of course the hyperlink on the "CSLA .NET" text would have gotten you to the answer too, but sometimes one extra click is too many.
