I can't find what's new in Razor 3. It seems like a silly question, but I can easily find what's new in MVC 5, in EF 6, etc. - but I tried to google it, I tried asp.net, I tried Scott's blog - nothing. So I'm curious, does anyone actually know what's new in Razor 3? Thanks!

Here is a list of all the bugs fixed in Razor 3.
https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/workitem/list/advanced?keyword=&status=Closed&type=All&priority=All&release=v5.0%2bPreview%7cv5.0%2bRC%7cv5.0%2bRTM&assignedTo=All&component=Web%2bPages%252fRazor&reasonClosed=Fixed&sortField=LastUpdatedDate&sortDirection=Descending&page=0
The three highlights are:
Support for editing with tabs in VS2013.
Support for URL rewrite
Removing of the security transparent attribute.
The official release notes are coming out shortly.

There are no new features added in Razor 3 or Web Pages 3 - just some bug fixes. Given that, I have no idea why Microsoft haven't publicised any release notes specific to these two products. I have reached out to them on that. I shall update the answer when I get a response.
UPDATE
Yishai has kindly come back to me and provided details below as well.

I am very new to UnoPlatform. I am trying to create a new application. Yet for some time I am stuck at creating convenient way to navigate through views.
I searched through webs and forums. I found that the best design pattern would be MVVM. Demo Apps on platform.uno seems to be implemented using this pattern as well. However some approaches i found online are not possible with unoplatform, as far as I understand it.
To give an example:
The app starts at LoginPage. On successful login I want to be taken to a completely different view with different controls. One of the approaches I found is by holding currently active viewmodel and render pages accordingly.
Is there some approach you would recommend for navigating through views? Or some material I could read to understand this concept better?
Using MVVM Light, the navigation needs to be performed using the NavigationService, as you'll find in this documentation: http://www.mvvmlight.net/doc/nav5.cshtml.
You can also use Prism for Uno, which handles navigation per regions. You can find documentation here https://prismlibrary.com/docs/ and samples here: https://github.com/PrismLibrary/Prism/blob/c71957ad56c0cfedf479d46dcb1870c96232d86c/e2e/Uno/HelloUnoWorld.Shared/ViewModels/ShellViewModel.cs#L30

I am looking for a testing framework to kind of test the front end and design of my application. I am building an angular application and we are using Protractor for the end to end tests, however I was wondering how do we test the design and the actual layout.
For instance when my partner pushed code last week he broke the navigation menu barand we want to make sure we have automated test that makes sure that the css is not broken before we push it in to prod. I am open to all suggestions. I was wondering if protractor can be used for this or is there a a better tool?Protractor does give you ability to localte css elements by id etc but not sure if this is a smart approach.
It might not provide everything you need, but BackstopJS seems to be capable of handling CSS breakage:

I am currently working with a classic asp application. We are looking to upgrade this in small phases to .NET. what I mean by small phases is page by page over an extended period of time.
I want to minimize impact to users. So upgrade pages but keeping the look the same for now. The classic asp app is all frames based so I think i could keep the look and run the upgraded page and point to the new page?
My questions are, what is the best method in doing this in peoples experience? Again I want to build this in .NET so I don't know if i would be best off using MVC or asp.net? would utilizing a particular framework make any difference here?
Those folks who have went through this pain in the past what were some gotchyas in upgrading and running a newer technology with an older technology? I would imagine i shouldn't have to much heartache in running these together.
Any additional things we should think about?
Thanks for the assistance.
MVC provides more control and flexibility. You can use .cshtml page to insert html code and use model variables (#Model.xxx with Razor) defined in your .cs code. You can easily display list box, combo box and other controls. Besides it does not require AJAX.

There are tons of resources on how to program using the APIs of various widget toolkits but I can't seem to find much in the way of a tutorial on how to create widget toolkits themselves or how they work n detail. They are basically just black boxes to me right now.
There is some info on QT:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Category:QtInternals
but it seems quite specific to QT and not geared towards general theory.
Could anyone point me to some resources?
Thanks for reading
There are powerpoint presentaion slides on the following link:
http://aplcenmp.apl.jhu.edu/~davids/605741/handouts/6_SWT_Programming.pdf
Also you may have a look on pdf given on the following link:
http://www.loria.fr/~dutech/DDZ/SWT.pdf
It would have been great to know which programming language you are using (or you'll use) to develop widgets.
Anyways,there is a link which shows the basic concepts behind widgets and also their creation:

Go through the tutorial/description to see if it meets your need.
Hope it'll help you.

I've heard that Microsoft has unleashed a windows 8 style (previously known as metro) API for ASP.NET
Does anyone knows anything about it? What is it called? Where to get it from?
Unfortunately I don't have any link about that API. I've tried searching for it but didn't get any luck.
I have found some JQuery APIs, but I'm asking about the one done by Microsoft itself. Is there any?
I was hoping that there's a simple way of creating "metro look" without having to reinvent any wheel (if there's already an API for it)
That's not called an API, that's ususally called a theme: a set of stylesheets and images.
I think you are looking for Metro UI CSS. It's got little to do with Microsoft though.
