AutoMapper 4.1.0 Released

22 October, 2015. It was a Thursday.

Release notes here:

https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/releases/tag/v4.1.0

Supports the following frameworks:

.NET 4.0
.NET 4.5
dotnet (all dnxcore/UWP targets)
MonoTouch
MonoTouch10
PCL profile 259
MonoDroid
WinRT/Windows Phone 8.1
Windows Phone 8.0
Silverlight 5

This was a bit of an internal refactoring release. With the previous 4.0 release, I did some work to simplify type map resolution. Unfortunately, this left out a few corner cases. With the new 4.1 drop, if you’re using any sort of inheritance, you need to use Mapper.Initialize.

I want to simplify this further in the 5.0 timeframe, but this is a start. The LINQ projections had some work as well, to support constructors and some groundwork to support OData.

Finally, we added Dictionary/dynamic/ExpandoObject support for some simple, straightforward cases. This will be expanded in the future to support things similar to what the MVC model binder supports.

Enjoy!
