Version 2.64

• JsonVariables prevent XSS by encoding < and > in JSON
  Westwind.Web
  The JsonVariables utility that allows embedding of server side data into client script has been updated to generate < and > tags as encoded strings to prevent XSS attacks when rendering.
• CallbackHandler improved JSON.NET Suppport
  Westwind.Web
  Switched to hard linked JSON.NET support in CallbackHandler instead of the previous dynamic loading to avoid the assembly reference to JSON.NET. This fixes odd version incompatibilities that have been reported as well as improving JSON performance slightly.
• Add Async Support for HttpClient
  Westwind.Utilities
  Added support for Async methods to the HttpClient Class for DownloadBytesAsync() and DownloadStringAsync(). Also optimized throughput and fixed explicit disposal of one of the internal streams that previously slowed down high volume requests.
• ImageUtils.NormalizeJpgImageRotation
  Westwind.Utilities
  Method that looks at Exif Orientation data in a jpeg file and rotates the image to match the orientation before removing the Exif data. Useful when capturing images from mobile device which often are natively rotated and contain.
• ImageUtils.StripJgpExifData
  Westwind.Utilities
  Removes Exif data from Jpg images. Helps reduce size of images and normalizes images and keeps them from auto-rotating.
• CallbackExceptionHandlerAttribute for MVC Controllers
  Westwind.Web.Mvc
  Added CallbackExceptionHandlerAttribute to make it easy to throw
  CallbackException objects and have those exception objects handled
  and returned as JSON errors with appropriate HTTP status codes. Simplifies
  explicit application error responses to clients. Handler also captures
  other exceptions but as generic 500 errors using consistent format.
• CallbackResponseMessage and CallbackErrorResponseMessage Classes for JSON Results
  Westwind.Web.Mvc
  Added explicit CallbackErrorResponseMessage and CallbackResponseMessage
  classes responsible for returning properly JSON formatted message to clients.
  Used to return error results from JSON callbacks in a consistent manner with
  a isError flag used to determine error status. Works in conjunction with
  CallbackException() in CallbackHandler implementation and in MVC BaseController.
• AppConfiguration ConfigurationFileConfigurationProvider Property Only Serialization
  Westwind.Utilities
  
  Changed behavior of the Config file configuration provider to only serialize/deserialize properties. Originally both properties and fields were serialized, but in light of all the other serializers only working with properties removed the field serialization feature. This also makes it easier to create non-serialized fields that might still have to be externally visible to other classes which caused a number of reported issues in the past.

Version 2.62

• New AlbumViewerAngular Sample Application
  
  Added a new sample application that uses Angular JS and demonstrates using the various West Wind tools in an SPA style ASP.MVC application using Westwind.Data and Sql Server.
• UrlEncodingParser.DecodePlusSignsAsSpaces
  
  Add option to support parsing + signs as spaces in UrlEncoded content. By default spaces are expected to be encoded with %20, but some older applications still use + as the space encoding character. Off by default and should be set using the constructor.
• Add JpegCompression Option to ImageUtils.ResizeImage and RotateImage
  
  You can now specify the jpeg quality by providing a jpeg compression level between 0 and 100. This allows control over the compression level unlike previously which used the relatively low default compression level used when no custom encoder is used. This allows for creating higher quality jpeg images.
• CallbackHandler JSON.NET Improvements
  
  Added default support for enum as string handling to CallbackHandler so that enums serialize/deserialize from string values rather than ordinals. Implemented JSON.NET instance caching rather than dynamic loading to improve performance of JSON.NET serialization.
• CallbackException StatusCode
  
  Added a status code property to the CallbackException instance in order to allow anything that uses CallbackException like CallbackHander to decide what status code to return on exceptions.
• JsonSerializationUtils.FormatJsonString() to prettify Json
  
  Added method to format an input JSON string to a nicely formatted JSON string.
• ww.angular.js Helper for a few AngularJs Tasks
  
  Capture and parse $http service errors consistently. Turn regular $q promises into
  $http service compatible promises. Resolve/Reject $q promise helpers.
