WebSharper 3.0.59 released

This is the first minor release since WebSharper 3.0 went live. Here is the change log:

• The types Web.IContext and Sitelets.Context<_> have a new member Environment : IDictionary<string, obj>. This property is used to pass host-specific data to sitelets and Rpc functions. Currently, this dictionary contains:

  • When running as an ASP.NET module (eg. Client-Server Application project template), "HttpContext" contains System.Web.HttpContext.Current.
  • When running on OWIN (eg. Self-Hosted Client-Server Application project template), "OwinContext" contains the current IOwinContext.

  Thanks to Catalin Bocirnea for this contribution on this!

• Added a Sitelets.Content creation helper: Content.FromAsync : Async<Content<'T>> -> Content<'T>

• Fixed #391: Sitelet.Infer would incorrectly match URLs longer than prescribed, for example a union case such as:

  | Article of id: int
  

  would not only accept urls such as:

  /Article/123
  

  but also urls with any extraneous fragments afterwards:

  /Article/123/something-extra
  

  Now it only accepts urls with the following formats:

  /Article/123
  /Article/123/
  

As always, WebSharper 3.0.59 is available on NuGet, and the installers for Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio / MonoDevelop are available on the official website and on the respective update channels.

Happy coding!
