This release maintains minimal compatibility with the recent release of OnTopic Library 4.0.0. At this point, the OnTopic-WebForms version of this project should be considered obsolete, and is no longer supported by Ignia. That said, this version is provided in order to aid in the migration to OnTopic-MVC or, preferably, OnTopic-AspNetCore.

Ignia.Topics*
toOnTopic*
(e.g.,Ignia.Topics.Web
is nowOnTopic.Web
) - Introduced new
ConfigurableAttributeTypeDescriptor
to maintain compatibility with the OnTopic-Editor-WebForms project - Migrated to C# 8.0's new nullable annotation context
- Introduced barebones
