People This morning the ASP.NET team shipped the ASP.NET
MVC 3 RC (release candidate). You can download it here.
ASP.NET MVC 3 is a pretty sweet release, and adds a ton of
new functionality and refinements. It is also backwards compatible with
ASP.NET MVC V1 and V2 – which makes it easy to upgrade existing apps (read the
release notes for the exact steps to do so). You can learn more about
some of the great capabilities in ASP.NET MVC 3 from previous blog posts I’ve
done about it:

ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 (July)
ASP.NET MVC 3 Beta (Oct)

Today’s ASP.NET
MVC 3 RC build includes several additional feature refinements (in addition
to bug fixes, tooling improvements, perf tunings, etc). This blog post
covers the improvements specific to today’s release. Please review my
previous posts to learn more about the many, many other ASP.NET MVC 3 features
and improvements introduced in prior previews/betas.
