Release Notes

If you're upgrading from v2.x, please make sure you upgrade your application to the latest 2.8.x version of Simple Injector first. please read the v3.0 release notes before upgrading to v3.x.

Simple Injector v3.2 contains two main features and several smaller improvements.

1. The most prominent feature is the compatibility with .NET Core v1 RTM. We are glad that the moving target has stopped moving :)
2. Besides that, Simple Injector now has a simplified model for developers that work with platforms that lack proper ambient contexts (like Windows RT). Historically, Simple Injector always depended on ambient contexts such as HttpContext, WCF scoping, and things like AsyncLocal and ThreadLocal to do its scoping. Platforms like RT are truly asynchronous, but currently lack a proper async ambient context. Simple Injector v3.2 now allows resolving directly from the Scope object, and allows injecting Scope instances into constructors of components. This prevents going through hoops to get Simple Injector working in those types of applications. We will add a new page to our documentation that explains how to use this. Of course we still support our normal model, and for most application types, our advice is to keep using this model.
