### Blazor WASM option added to Application Single Layer Startup Template
We've created the [Application (Single Layer) Startup Template](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/7.1/Startup-Templates/Application-Single-Layer) in v5.2 with three UI types: Angular, Blazor Server and MVC. At the moment, we didn't provide UI option for Blazor, because it was required 3 projects at least (server-side, client-side and shared library between these two projects).

In this version, we added the Blazor WASM option to the **Application (Single Layer) Startup Template**. It still contains three projects (`blazor`, `host`, and `contracts`) but hosted by a single `host` project.

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

If we have an entity that is related to other modules, we need to align/sync their data once the entity changes and versioning entity changes can also be good, so we can know whether they're synced or not.
In this version, [@gdlcf88](https://github.com/gdlcf88) made a 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 that fit the given predicate. It directly deletes entities from the 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 these features.

### 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 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.
