At TechEd we announced our plans and vision for ASP.NET vNext. ASP.NET vNext is being designed from the bottom up to be a lean and composable .NET stack for building web and cloud based applications. You can find an overview of ASP.NET vNext and walkthroughs of the current experience at http://www.asp.net/vnext.
- MVC, Web API, and Web Pages will be merged into one framework, called MVC 6. MVC 6 has no dependency on System.Web.
- ASP.NET vNext includes new cloud-optimized versions of MVC 6, SignalR 3, and Entity Framework 7.
- ASP.NET vNext will support true side-by-side deployment for all dependencies, including .NET for cloud. Nothing will be in the GAC.
- ASP.NET vNext is host agnostic. You can host your app in IIS, or self-host in a custom process.
- Dependency injection is built into the framework.
- Web Forms, MVC 5, Web API 2, Web Pages 3, SignalR 2, EF 6 will be fully supported on ASP.NET vNext
- .NET vNext (Cloud Optimized) will be a subset of the .NET vNext Framework, optimized for cloud and server workloads.
- MVC 6, SignalR 3, EF 7 will have some breaking changes:
- New project system
- New configuration system
- MVC / Web API / Web Pages merge, using a common set of abstractions for HTTP, routing, action selection, filters, model binding, and so on
- No System.Web, new lightweight HttpContext
