OnTopic 5.2.0 introduces support for response caching (#89), a new ErrorController for HTTP error codes (#91), and improvements to ITopicMappingService performance via optional AttributeDictionary constructors (#99), updates to the internal reflection libraries (#90), and caching of compatible properties (#102). In addition, it also includes a number of internal code improvements, such as adoption of new C# 10 capabilities (#96), including global using directives (#93).

Features

• #89 Response caching is now supported on TopicController, via OnTopic support for cache profiles
• #91 (Re)introduced an ErrorController to fully handle HTTP error handling within ASP.NET Core
• #99 Support for AttributeDictionary constructors on view models to improve performance of ITopicMappingService

Improvements

• #90 Improved performance in reflection by use of Delegate.CreateDelegate()
• #90 Significant refactoring of the OnTopic.Internal.Reflection classes around the TypeAccessor(Cache), instead of (Type)MemberInfoCollection (reference)
• #101 Allow the ErrorController to be bypassed for static files, thus preferring a lightweight response code instead of a friendly error page
• #102 Cache mappings to compatible members on corresponding Topic classes (e.g., ContentTypeDescriptor) via MemberAccessor.IsCompatible()
• #106 Add a SQL constraint to ensure that topics under a given parent topic can't have duplicate keys
