ASP.NET ‘Atlas’ Technology Preview October 2005 release

The October 2005 (date built) release of Atlas is now available at http://atlas.asp.net.  This new release replaces the Atlas Hands-On-Lab and Atlas Blank Project VSI files.  We plan to release a new build on a roughly monthly schedule (with occasional exceptions). 

This release aligns the 'Atlas' preview with the Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 RTM release.  It also contains a set of small changes and fixes based on feedback from the community that are highlighted below.

The page is still very confusing... I saw a reference to "Beta 2" on Atlas.asp.net that needs to be removed. Also, when you go to download the file, there is no way to differentiate between the version you guys originally put out, and the new build.

Can't you guys just add it to Microsoft Downloads as a regular download, instead of having to jump through all those extra hoops?

Thanks for letting us know, Robert. I've removed the "Beta 2" reference and provided some additional information. MSDN actually does host the downloads for us on Download Center. I'll work with them to identify the release version next time.

Because VSIs can't currently display a EULA, we need to display a license page before the download so it's not currently possible to go directly to the download. When this is fixed, we'll try to cut down the number of hops it takes to download.

Is there any documentation out there on this stuff? I'm used to not having docs... (ah yes the days of remote scripting from MSR!) But I've been trying to get your floatingbehavior to be useful (i.e. dockable!) for weeks and no go. That's like the ONLY thing I want to use atlas for. I can do all the other stuff on my own with very little coding via my own asych libraries.

All of the docs currently available can be found at http://atlas.asp.net. We're also working on getting a wiki up in the near future. I'll pass your feedback on to the documentation team so they can prioritize this area in the next round of docs.
