The reason being that we released 2.0 internally and tested the hell out of it. 2.1 is the result of that testing. It includes a lot of bug fixes as well as API tweaks to make things easier for developers. <ul> Made more improvements to the <b>Startup/Configuration</b> API for products (<a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4860">QNO-4860</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4991">QNO-4991</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4990">QNO-4990</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4911">QNO-4911</a>) Further refined the independent and properly decoupled <b>assemblies</b> (<a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-5001">QNO-5001</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4609">QNO-4609</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-2514">QNO-2514</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4980">QNO-4980</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4974">QNO-4974</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4865">QNO-4865</a>) Improved support for continuous integration and deployment of Quino packages and symbols via <b>TeamCity</b> (<a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-5003">QNO-5003</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-3738">QNO-3738</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4998">QNO-4998</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4756">QNO-4756</a>, <a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4995">QNO-4995</a>) Improved the <b>Web</b> integration with ASP.NET WebAPI and MVC authentication filters (<a href="https://secure.encodo.ch/jira/browse/QNO-4711">QNO-4711</a>) <b>Addressed</b> some <b>performance regressions</b> from 1.13 and added a suite of performance tests to keep better track of performance targets. </ul> On top of that, I've gone through the backlog and found many issues that had either been fixed already, were obsolete or had been inadequately specified.

Since these are changes from an unreleased version of Quino, they cause a compile error. <ul> <c>UseMetaSchemaWinformDxFeedback()</c> has been renamed to <c>UseMetaschemaWinformDx()</c> <c>UseSchemaMigrationSupport()</c> has been renamed to <c>UseIntegratedSchemaMigration()</c> <c>MetaHttpApplicationBase.MetaApplication</c> has been renamed to <c>BaseApplication</c> The <c>IServer.Run()</c> extension method is no longer supported. <c>GetStandardFilters</c>, <c>GetStandardFiltersForFormsAuthentication()</c> and <c>GetStandardFiltersForUnrestrictedAuthentication</c> are no longer supported. Instead, you should register filters in the IOC and use the <c>IWebFilterAttributeFactory.CreateFilters()</c> to get the list of supported filters The <c>ToolRequirementAttribute</c> is no longer supported or used. <c>AssemblyExtensions.GetLoadableTypesWithInterface()</c> is no longer supported <c>AssemblyTools.GetValidAssembly()</c> has been replaced with <c>AssemblyTools.GetApplicationAssembly()</c>; <c>GetExecutableName()</c> and <c>GetExecutablePath()</c> have removed. All of the constant expressions on the <c>MetaBuilderBase</c> (e.g. <c>EndOfTimeExpression</c>) are obsolete. Instead, use <c>MetaBuilderBase.ExpressionFactory.Constants.EndOfTime</c> instead. All of the global values on <c>MetaObjectDescriptionExtensions</c> are obsolete; instead, use the <c>IMetaObjectFormatterSettings</c> from the IOC to change settings on startup. Similarly, the set of extension methods that included <c>GetShortDescription()</c> has been moved to the <c>IMetaObjectFormatter</c>. Obtain an instance from the IOC, as usual. </ul>
