ASP.NET AJAX ('Atlas') beta status
So it's been a while since the last Atlas CTP was released (July). By now, if you've been following Atlas; you should have seen Scott Guthrie's post about the naming and roadmap plans. If not, take a moment to read through the post and pay close attention to the "Atlas" Feature Delivery Plan.
What does this mean for existing applications built on the last CTP? It means that the next release - the beta release, is going to require you to make some changes to your code in regards to some of the syntax and references. This doesn't mean that features are going to be removed, just shifted around into two components:
- Core - fully supported features, part of 1.0 release
- CTP features - not fully supported, will work on top of supported 'core' release
We'll have a better idea of what makes it into the fully supported release soon. Until then, if you want to get a head start, here are a few recommended posts from Bertrand Le Roy:
