Just Released: Enterprise Library 3.1 - May 2007

After some bug were spotted in the latest release of Enterprise Library 3.0, and a promise from Tom Hollander, the team has released Enterprise Library 3.1 to the web.

Here are the highlights of the new version:

Policy Injection Application Block

• The default Remoting PolicyInjector can now be replaced with alternative interception mechanisms via configuration without modifying the application block code
• Call Handler attributes are now honored correctly when placed on interface methods
• Fixed an issue that could cause duplicate handlers where matching rules matched both a class and its interface
• Classes implementing COM interfaces (including those deriving from System.Windows.Forms.Form) can now be intercepted
• TraceLogEntry class is now serializable, allowing it to be used with the MSMQ Trace Listener

Validation Application Block

• Fixed an issue that prevented the PropertyComparisonValidator from working with the Windows Forms integration adapter
• The message template for the PropertyComparisonValidator can now be saved using the configuration tools.

Data Access Application Block

• Connection strings for OLEDB and ODBC connections can now be edited using custom dialog boxes from the configuration tools

The new version is already adopted in the Smart Client Software Factory v2 - May 2007, that was released earlier this week.

Enjoy!
