  • Removed ResourceName from ValidationFailure
  • Removed ResourceName and ResourceType from IStringSource.
  • Removed SetCollectionValidator which was deprecated in 8.0
  • Additional overload of OnAnyFailure that can receive a collection of validation failures
  • Remove DisplayAttribute integration and reference to DataAnnotations.
  • ComparisonProperty placeholder is now formatted like PropertyName
  • Translations of default error messages into other languages are now lazily-loaded
