v4.6.401
32e626d

This release is focused primarily on enhancing the existing Xamarin support.

🛑 🔐 Security warning: This version of CSLA .NET allows the use of WcfProxy. WcfProxy uses the NetDataContractSerializer (NDCS) which has known vulnerabilities that can allow remote execution of code during deserialization. NDCS itself is considered obsolete, and you should avoid using WcfProxy or upgrade to CSLA 6 or higher where this issue does not exist.

There is now a Csla.dll targeting PCL Profile111, which is the current profile for Xamarin.Forms projects and .NET Core.

There is also now a CSLA-Xamarin NuGet package that includes a Csla.Xaml.dll with support for Xamarin.Forms. This includes the same viewmodel base classes as the other XAML platforms, and an implementation of the PropertyInfo control tailored for use in Xamarin.Forms.

@JasonBock added even more analyzers for Visual Studio 2015 to help developers avoid common coding mistakes when building CSLA .NET business classes.

We now have support for the prerelease of Entity Framework 7.

The pt and pt-BR resources for Csla.dll have been updated. Other languages need updates as well - please contribute if you are a native speaker!

There is a new way to customize the server-side data portal by implementing an interceptor that is invoked via the new DataPortalBroker. (#564)

This release is available via NuGet.
