8.1.1

Removes all support for classic ASP.NET, only targeting ASP.NET Core going forward. Adds support for ASP.NET 5.

7.0.0

This release includes support in ASP.NET Core for:

• Model Metadata for editors, displays, labels, and validation message displays
• Model State for validation messages and editors
• Client-side validation metadata
• 1st-class validation message support

The tag builders from services.AddHtmlTags now add deep Model Metadata and Model State support, providing equivalent HTML creation as the existing editor/display templates.

This release also adds first-class validation message support, using:

@Html.ValidationMessage(m => FirstName)

Or using tag helpers:

<validation-message-tag for="FirstName" />
