MVC 2 has been released, I’ve been developing an application using the RC and I am very happy with the new features, there are so many, Areas, Auto-Scaffold UI Helpers with Template Customization which I just love.

I’ve just had to un-install my MVC 2 RC and install the official release of MVC 2 and it worked without any problems.

• New Strongly Typed HTML Helpers
• Enhanced Model Validation support across both server and client
• Auto-Scaffold UI Helpers with Template Customization
• Support for splitting up large applications into “Areas”
• Asynchronous Controllers support that enables long running tasks in parallel
• Support for rendering sub-sections of a page/site using Html.RenderAction
• Lots of new helper functions, utilities, and API enhancements
• Improved Visual Studio tooling support
