Notable changes are around two custom attributes:

  1. Carfamsoft.ModelToView.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.DisplayResourceAttribute
    • Replaced by Carfamsoft.ModelToView.ViewAnnotations.FormDisplayDefaultAttribute.
  2. Carfamsoft.ModelToView.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.DisplayHintAttribute
    • Replaced by Carfamsoft.ModelToView.ViewAnnotations.FormDisplayAttribute

Obsolete:
     Many classes that supported version 1.0.x were deprecated due to incomplete implementation of rendering
     processes. These changes are non breaking but might display a lot of deprecation warnings when building
     existing projects where these classes were in directl use.

     All deprecated classes are in the Carfamsoft.ModelToView.WebPages namespace. Namely, these are:
     - ControlInfo
     - ControlInfoCollection
     - FormControlsRenderer (replaced by AutoInputBase)
     - IControlRenderer
     - ObjectHtmlViewEngine
     
     Several supporting NuGet packages have been released which improve and facilitate clean code usage:
     - Carfamsoft.ModelToView.Shared
     - Carfamsoft.ModelToView.ViewAnnotations
