Breaking

In this release we had to make adjustments to the rendering pipeline, this impacts any custom email controls (IEmailControlType or EmailControlTypeBase). However the changes are minimal and only affects the method signatures.

  • Some APIs in the rendering pipeline has been made async, hence method signatures has been adjusted to work with Task.
  • Renamed EmailControlRenderingData to RenderingContext
  • EmailControlBase, renamed DoUpdateUniqueViewModel to DoUpdateUniqueViewModelAsync and added RenderingUniqueContext parameter.
  • EmailControlBase, renamed DoBuildViewModel to DoBuildViewModelAsync.
  • IEmailControlType renamed BuildViewModel to BuildViewModelAsync
  • IEmailControlType renamed UpdateUniqueViewModel to UpdateUniqueViewModelAsync, removed IRecipientDataModel parameter and added RenderingUniqueContext.
  • Renamed EmailControlRenderingData to RenderingContext
  • Render Tasks, renamed RenderTaskParameters to RenderingUniqueContext and changed property MailMessage to EmailMessage.
