Hi All, 

Solution and Sitecore Updates

Assembly and Code Changes

Castle.Core Downgrade:

• Reason: The upgraded version of Castle.Core is not supported with Castle Windsor.
• Reference: Stack Overflow Discussion.

Web.config File Update:

• Action: Add the following entries to include binding redirects:

HTML, XML

<dependentAssembly>

  <assemblyIdentity name="Castle.Windsor" publicKeyToken="407dd0808d44fbdc" culture="neutral" />

  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.0.0.0" newVersion="5.0.0.0" />

</dependentAssembly>

 

<dependentAssembly>

  <assemblyIdentity name="Castle.Core" publicKeyToken="407DD0808D44FBDC" culture="neutral" />

  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.0" />

</dependentAssembly>

Layer.config Order Adjustment:
