Silverlight 2 is released to the web, and the world’s economies rebound. Coincidence?
This morning’s announcements (about Silverlight, not the economy) are thoughtfully summarized and peppered with links at Tim Heuer’s blog.
If you have been developing with Silverlight 2 Beta 2, it’s hard for me to imagine the move to RTW being traumatic for you. I moved all my projects from Beta 2 to the Release Candidate when it was released a few weeks back, and had no trouble updating my code to account for several breaking changes made to the API. All of my projects transitioned this morning from Silverlight 2 RC0 to Silverlight 2 RTW without any apparent issues.
Update 15 Oct: Apps hosted on Silverlight Streaming (like my FractLOL) are working for me with RTW under Firefox 3.0.3, but NOT IE7…
Update 16 Oct: …or any other version of Internet Explorer. And strike that bit about economic recovery as well.
Congratulations to everyone involved with the release! Off we go to light up the web.
