In his blog, Scott Guthrie announces the availability of Silverlight 2 Release Candidate 0.
Please read carefully the terms, still more explicitely stated in Tim Heuer's blog. RC0 is for developers only (well, I guess my readers are), so they can prepare themselves to have their programs ready the day Silverlight 2 comes to the light : there are breaking changes and current Silverlight 2 beta 2 (as my programs currently are) will not run unchanged with Silverlight 2 (RC0 included).
As Tim states with insistance : applications developed using RC0 should not be deployed and there is no RC0 run-time available for download ! In other words, use RC0 just to update and test your own Silverlight 2 programs and only on your development machine.
Though I intend to document changes that will be necessary in my programs (very few, I hope), I am currently sticking to Silverlight 2 Beta 2. I will switch to SL2 RTM and update my programs (included the SL2 programs mentionned in my book) the day Silverlight 2 is officially out.
Thanks for your comprehension.
