Chenlong.Hu Release 3.1

New features in 3.1

• Clickable category and tag badges in blog view: when clicking on the colored badges now, it launches automatically a search on the website and renders the filtered results.

Framework changes

• Upgraded from .net core 3.0 to the LTS .net core 3.1 while waiting for the RC of .net 5.0: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core
• Reacted to the SameSite cookie changes as addressed in the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/samesite?view=aspnetcore-3.1
• Upgraded the analytics js snippet for Microsoft Azure Application Insights, Google Analytics, Facebook Analytics.

Fixed bugs

• Restored the user registration flows due to the migration to .net core 3.0 (No wonder why I didn't get any new subscribers since then 🤦‍♂️ This incident makes me seriously think about adding automated regression testing later)
• Fixed customized pagination bar problem in filtered blogs views
• Fixed Application Insights HTTP error on other pages besides the homepage
