New Refactored Atlas Bits

http://ajax.asp.net/default.aspx?tabid=47&subtabid=471

The new bits are out, the new bits are out (as an image of Steve Martin runs through my head)

This is the first release where MS has a push towards an actual release.  As a result, this is the first release that is in the final "format."  The previous CTP was one big glob of stuff.  This release is similar in concept to what we will see when the product ships.  There are three downloads of interest:

  • Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX v1.0 Beta.  This is the package that will have base functionality and will be considered the supported package.
  • Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX CTP Beta.  This package will install on top of the v1.0 Beta package and will add additional functionality from the previous CTP.  Eventually, these bits will be moved into the supported package.  My guess is that will happen with Orcas.
  • ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.  The toolkit that we know and love.
Yes, I have found this somewhat confusing.  Can you imagine trying to explain to an editor that MS will release an RTM package along with a CTP package?
