Earlier I posted about ASP.NET 5 was renamed to ASP.NET Core 1.0 and with this name change, ASP.NET MVC 6 is now ASP.NET Core MVC 1.0.

The fundamental concepts of MVC remain the same, many of the underlying layers of the framework have changed. So here is quick and short summary of what’s changed in ASP.NET Core MVC 1.0 compared to all its previous versions.
