Ditto 0.12.2

This is a hot-fix patch release to the recent v0.12.1. It turns out that 44129a6 didn't quite fix the bug in #238, hopefully the fix in #241 will do resolve it.

Ditto 0.12.1

This is a hot-fix patch release to the recent v0.12.0. Fixing one specific bug, #238 for further details.

Ditto 0.12.0

Hey there Umbraco fans!

It's been quite a while since our last release, (10 months ago, yikes!)

We're happy to finally be able to release Ditto v0.12.0!

In our v0.11.x release notes, we'd mentioned that those would be the last of the v0.x versions and v1.0 would be next. However earlier this year, we were investigating ways to dramatically improve the performance of Ditto - which we've now done - so wanted to share it with the world without impacting v1.0, (basically it's not fully documented!)

• #232 Attributed Type Resolver
• #233 Deprecate PropertyDescriptor in Contexts
• plus a bunch of other internal API refactoring, see #237 for commit details

Ditto 0.11.2

This is a hot-fix patch release to the recent v0.11.1. Fixing one specific bug, see commit 88336e7 for further details.

Ditto 0.11.1

Hey there Ditto fans!

We have a patch release after our recent v0.11.0 release... here's Ditto v0.11.1!

Download is available via NuGet!

We've refactored a couple of internal features - and exposed the post-processor bits via the API - and fixed a bug with the proxy generation.
There are no breaking-changes, just a quick & tidy patch release turnaround!

This will be the last v0.x release, as we prepare our documentation for a stable v1.0 release.

Please note since v0.10.x Ditto compiles against Umbraco v7.3.2 (and above).
Support for earlier versions of Umbraco (v6.2.5 and above) please use Ditto version v0.9.0.

---

Bug Fixes & Enhancements

• #223 Adds methods to register/deregister post-processors
• #225 Fixes proxy generation for value types

Refactoring (Internal)

• #224 DefaultProcessorType - makes static and adds lock
