### Introducing the `IHasEntityVersion` interface and `EntitySynchronizer` base class
Entity synchronization is an important concept, especially in the distributed application and module development. If we have an entity that related with other module or application, we need to align/sync their data if the entity changed and also it can be good to versioning entity changes, so we knew they are sync or not.

In this version, [@gdlcf88](https://github.com/gdlcf88) made an great contribution to the ABP Framework and introduced the `IHasEntityVersion` interface which adds **auto-versioning** to entity classes and `EntitySynchronizer` base class to **automatically sync an entity's properties from a source entity**.

### Introducing the `DeleteDirectAsync` method for the `IRepository` interface
EF 7 introduced a new [`ExecuteDeleteAsync`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/what-is-new/ef-core-7.0/whatsnew#executeupdate-and-executedelete-bulk-updates) method that deletes entities without involving the change tracker into the process. Therefore, it's much faster.
We added the `DeleteDirectAsync` method to the `IRepository<>` interface to take the full power of the EF 7. It deletes all entities those fit to the given predicate. It directly deletes entities from database, without fetching them. Therefore, some features (like **soft-delete**, **multi-tenancy** and **audit logging)** won't work, so use this method carefully, when you need it. Use the `DeleteAsync` method if you need to these features.

### Intoducing the `IAbpHostEnvironment` interface
### Introducing the `IAbpHostEnvironment` interface
Sometimes, while creating an application, we need to get the current hosting environment and take actions according to that. In such cases, we can use some services such as [IWebHostEnvironment](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.hosting.iwebhostenvironment?view=aspnetcore-7.0) or [IWebAssemblyHostEnvironment](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.components.webassembly.hosting.iwebassemblyhostenvironment) provided by .NET, in the final application.

### Improvements on eShopOnAbp project
### Improvements on the eShopOnAbp project
K8s and Docker configurations have been made within this version (Dockerfiles and helm-charts have been added and image build scripts have been updated). See [#14083](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/14083) for more information.
### Others
* Referral Links have been added to CMS Kit Comment Feature (optional). You can specify common referral links (such as "nofollow" and "noreferrer") for links in the comments. See [#15458](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/15458) for more information.
* ReCaptcha verification has been added to CMS Kit Comment Feature (optional). You can enable ReCaptcha support to enable protaction against bots. See the [documentation](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/7.1/Modules/Cms-Kit/Comments) for more information.
* In development environment, it is a must to reduce cache durations for some points. We typically don't need to wait for a certain time to the cache being invalidated or invalidate it manually. For that purpose, we have reduced the cache durations for some points on development environment. See [#14842](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/pull/14842) for more information.

In this version, we implemented the code generation for MAUI Blazor. You can create and generate CRUD pages for this new UI option as you do in other UI types.

### SaaS Module - Allowing entering a username while impersonating the tenant
In the previous versions, we were able to impersonate a tenant from the [SaaS Module's Tenant Management UI](https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/7.1/modules/saas#tenant-management). There was a constraint in this approach, which forces us to only impersonate by the "admin" user. However, the tenant might be changed the admin user's username, or we may want to impersonate another user of the tenant.
