I am just trying out ASP.NET MVC 4 but I can't figure out how to disable Javascript/CSS minification feature. Especially for development environment this will help greatly on debugging. I would imagine it would be a switch in web.config but since ASP.NET MVC 4 is still in beta stage at the moment there's really not much information out there. Would appreciate if someone can help or point to the right blog posts etc.

Minification. Minification is another such performance improvement technique in which it optimizes the javascript, css code by shortening the variable names, removing unnecessary white spaces, line breaks, comments, etc. This in turn reduces the file size and helps the application to load faster.
MVC implements a process called minification on the bundled files. Minification removes all whitespace and renames variables to their shortest possible name, thereby removing all excess characters (and thereby excess file size) from the bundle. Because the file is smaller, it takes less time to download.
Bundling and minification are two techniques you can use in ASP.NET to improve page load performance for your web application. Bundling combines multiple files into a single file. Minification performs a variety of different code optimizations to scripts and CSS, which results in smaller payloads.
In Global.asax.cs
#if DEBUG
foreach (var bundle in BundleTable.Bundles)
{
bundle.Transform = new NoTransform();
}
#endif
