Status of Spark View Engine

It’s been a while since the community got any feature releases from the spark team. Has it ceased development? With th开发者_如何学编程e advent of Razor, has Louis moved on?

The least release was in March and the last development build was in July

Spark most certainly isn't dead. I'm happy to say that version 1.5 has just be released with full compatability with .NET 3.5 and 4 projects and ASP.NET MVC 2 and 3.

You can read the release notes here, and you can either download from there or you can get it as a NuGet package reference direct in VS2010

I have written about Razor and Spark here, and as a final note, development on Spark hasn't stopped - there just haven't been that many feature requests over the last few months - mainly just bug fixes and this is a clear sign that it is a mature framework, not a dying one.

Hope that helps,
Rob

Well, the pace is not furious but there has certainly been activity since March:

I hope that Razor does not kill Spark. They are very complementary.

Spark is really mark-up with some code in it while Razor is more like code containing mark-up.
