Description

  1. Add interface: 

       public interface INewsPage
    		 
        {
    		 
            PageListBlock NewsList { get; set; }
    		 
        }

  2. Add the property PageListBlock on a page but do not mark it as virtual. 

     public class NewsPage : StandardPage, INewsPage
    		 
        {
    		 
            [Display(
    		 
                GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
    		 
                Order = 305)]
    		 
            public PageListBlock NewsList { get; set; }

Expected: An exception that "virtual" is missing.
Actual: Looking at news page, the news list is empty.

Breaking changes note
Validation of content type properties has been changed so properties are checked that PropertyInfo.IsFinal is false. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.methodbase.isfinal(v=vs.110).aspx.
If a property was not supposed to be a content type property (persisted in CMS database) but now throws a validation exception, decorate the property with the [Ignore] attribute.
