Anscheinend bekommt Silverlight 1.1 dermaßen viel Features hinzu, dass die Version kurzerhand nach oben geschraubt wurde. Statt 1.1 steht uns also bald 2.0 ins Haus, besser gesagt im ersten Quartal 2008 gibt es eine erste Beta.
Ich erlaube mir hier Teile aus der Roadmap von Scott Guthrie zu zitieren, da es sonst wirklich viel Tipparbeit wäre:
WPF UI Framework: The current Silverlight Alpha release only includes basic controls support and a managed API for UI drawing. The next public Silverlight preview will add support for the higher level features of the WPF UI framework. These include: the extensible control framework model, layout manager support, two-way data-binding support, and control template and skinning support. The WPF UI Framework features in Silverlight will be a compatible subset of the WPF UI Framework features in last week's .NET Framework 3.5 release.
Rich Controls: Silverlight will deliver a rich set of controls that make building Rich Internet Applications much easier. The next Silverlight preview release will add support for core form controls (textbox, checkbox, radiobutton, etc), built-in layout management controls (StackPanel, Grid, etc), common functionality controls (TabControl, Slider, ScrollViewer, ProgressBar, etc) and data manipulation controls (DataGrid, etc).
Rich Networking Support: Silverlight will deliver rich networking support. The next Silverlight preview release will add support for REST, POX, RSS, and WS* communication. It will also add support for cross domain network access (so that Silverlight clients can access resources and data from any trusted source on the web).
Rich Base Class Library Support: Silverlight will include a rich .NET base class library of functionality (collections, IO, generics, threading, globalization, XML, local storage, etc). The next Silverlight preview release will also add built-in support for LINQ to XML and richer HTML DOM API integration.
Es kommt also einiges auf Silverlight-Entwickler zu und auch die Nutzer dürften sich freuen, werden damit doch noch komfortablere und aufwendigere Anwendungen möglich.
