What's new in Razor 3? [closed]

Question

I can't find what's new in Razor 3. It seems like a silly question, but I can easily find what's new in MVC 5, in EF 6, etc. - but I tried to google it, I tried asp.net, I tried Scott's blog - nothing. So I'm curious, does anyone actually know what's new in Razor 3? Thanks!

Answer 1

Here is a list of all the bugs fixed in Razor 3.

https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/workitem/list/advanced?keyword=&status=Closed&type=All&priority=All&release=v5.0%2bPreview%7cv5.0%2bRC%7cv5.0%2bRTM&assignedTo=All&component=Web%2bPages%252fRazor&reasonClosed=Fixed&sortField=LastUpdatedDate&sortDirection=Descending&page=0

The three highlights are:

1. Support for editing with tabs in VS2013.
2. Support for URL rewrite
3. Removing of the security transparent attribute.

The official release notes are coming out shortly.

Answer 2

There are no new features added in Razor 3 or Web Pages 3 - just some bug fixes. Given that, I have no idea why Microsoft haven't publicised any release notes specific to these two products. I have reached out to them on that. I shall update the answer when I get a response.

UPDATE

Yishai has kindly come back to me and provided details below as well.
