ASP.NET MVC Beta released

Click here to download it.  You can also visit www.asp.net/mvc to explore tutorials, quickstarts, and videos to learn more.

The ASP.NET MVC Beta works with both .NET 3.5 and .NET 3.5 SP1, and supports both VS 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2008 Express SP1 (which is free - and now supports class libraries and web application project types).

Here's what's new in ASP.NET MVC Beta:

• New "Add View" Menu in Visual Studio
• New \Scripts directory and jQuery Support
• Built-in Model Binder Support for Complex Types
• Refactored Model Binder Infrastructure
• Strongly Typed UpdateModel and TryUpdateModel WhiteList Filtering
• Improved Unit Testing of UpdateModel and TryUpdateModel Scenarios
• Strongly Typed [AcceptVerbs] attribute
• Better Validation Error Messages
• HTML Helper Cleanup and Refactoring
• Silverlight / ASP.NET MVC Project Integration
• ASP.NET MVC Futures Assembly
• \Bin and GAC Assembly Deployment

Also, jQuery now integrated with ASP.NET MVC! When you go File | New ASP.NET MVC Project, you've already got jQuery.

If you was already working with ASP.NET Preview releases the you may not need these lines in your web.config file anymore

<system.web>

<pages>

<namespaces>
                <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc"/>
                <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax"/>
                <add namespace="Microsoft.Web.Mvc"/> 
</namespaces>

.....................................

</pages>

</system.web>

This is just one of my findings, but I would like to hear more, what other changes may require if I am already using Preview Releases.
