Caliburn Micro Changes from Version 1.1 to 1.5.1?

Do any one knows, what are the changes made in Caliburn Micro 1.1 to 1.5.1, beside adding support to WinRT and Windows Phone 8.

I need this Info, since I am using Caliburn Micro 1.4 in my project and want to update it to 1.5.1?

If there are any major changes, I will go for it.

Is there any change in the naming Conventions?

This is taken from each of the release's changes.txt:

1.2

  • Improvements to EventAggregator to improve testability and re-use apart from the full Caliburn.Micro framework.
  • Enabled basic child containers for the SimpleContainer.
  • Some improvements to the nuget install script.
  • Improvements and bug fixes for View/ViewModel name resolution.
  • Fixed some NRE's in the new UriBuilder. NO explicitly throws if it cannot locate the view.
  • Improved logging around searched for Views/ViewModels.
  • Fixed bugs with the WP7 version of Screen.OnViewReady. It now works consistently.
  • Improvements to PropertyChangedBase and BindableCollection to better support serialization.
  • Moved IsInDesign mode out of Bootstrapper and into the Execute class.
  • Added WP7 platform abstractions for vibration and sound effects, including enabling the window manager to play sounds when showing a custom modal dialog.
  • Fixed some bugs in the WindowManager related to bubbling actions.
  • Fixed some issues with the WPF navigation service.
  • Minor refactoring to enable the new "feature packages".

1.3

  • Improved serialization of PropertyChangedBase and BindableCollection
  • Enabled the WP7 UriBuilder to actually build a Uri without navigating.
  • Added SetUIThreadMarshaller method to Executor to allow customization of the framework's default thread marshalling behavior.
  • Added optional settings parameters to all window manager apis.
  • Changed FrameAdapter to inject query string parameters into the ViewModel before the conventional databinding takes place.
  • Added a new WinRT project. WinRT now supports Execute, BindableCollection, PropertyChangedBase, ExtensionMethods, EventAggregator and SimpleContainer.
  • Fixed some WPF bugs in Screen
  • Vast improvements and API enhancements to ViewModelLocator and ViewLocator for easier customization of location conventions.
  • Fixed a potential memory leak in coroutines that are cancelled and re-used.
  • Enabled design-time application of convention bindings (preliminary support). To turn this feature on, set the Bind.AtDesignTime attached property to true for your view. If you are using blend's design-time data generation, you can optionally replace ViewLocator.ModifyModelTypeAtDesignTime to perform custom mapping to views. It shouldn't be needed though.
  • Turned ConventionManager.ConfigureSelectedItem into a delegate to allow customizations.
  • Added ConventionManager.ConfigureSelectedItemBinding delegate aimed to allow the inspection of the proposed binding and its customization or rejection.
  • Added Support for WP7 Mango
  • Added Support for Silverlight 5
  • Various improvements made to the NavigationService; improvements to navigation away, tombstoning, etc.
  • Fixed some WPF bugs with TabControl
  • Some improvements to integration between the tombstoning mechanism and the IoC container.
  • The Application property of the Bootstrapper is no longer globally available, to help prevent misuse.
  • Some breaking changes in ConventionManager API related to bug fixes in ItemsControl conventions.
  • Enabled overriding of default services in PhoneContainer
  • Assemblies are now marked as CLSCompliant.
  • Added a new Func to ViewLocator called DeterminePackUriFromType. This function maps a View Type to pack Uri for use in navigation scenarios. Since there is no way to reliable way to determine the Uri from a type, a default implementation is provided which should work for most cases, but can be replaced for other scenarios. This function is used internally by the WP7 UriBuilder.
  • Updated the SL5 build to use the new native UpdateSourceTrigger.
  • Enabled ValidatesOnExceptions when conventional validation is turned on for a binding.
  • Fixed a certain long-standing bug which caused problems when conventions were applied via the Bind.Model property inside of a virtualizing control with container recycling enabled. This may have fixed some other intermitent issues related to the Bind.Model property as well.

1.3.1

  • Switching to Semantic Versioning.
  • Added some exception handling for design time bootstrapper operations.
  • Added a custom converter to the MessageBinder so that we can handle converting to DateTime from string.

1.4

This includes no changes.txt, so the best I could find was:

This version includes many bug fixes across all platforms, improvements to nuget support and...the biggest news of all...full support for both WinRT and WP8.
