CSLA 8 prerelease 24010305 available

[rockfordlhotka]

I am pleased to announce that CSLA 8 prerelease 24010305 is now online in NuGet.

This prerelease is "feature complete", in that all attention is now focused on testing, updating the unit tests, and updating the samples.

The new features in this prerelease vs the previous are refinements to IDataPortalCache, an update to CslaModelBinder to handle async rules properly, and support for the mixed-mode rendering in Blazor 8 to handle state (LocalContext/ClientContext) across server-static, server-interactive, and wasm-interactive pages in a single app.
