+Release 0.9
|
|
|
+-----------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Due to popular demand, I have built a version of the binaries to put
|
|
|
+on the web site. Currently these are set at assembly version 0.9,
|
|
|
+and an assembly file version of 0.9. This should be seen as a mark
|
|
|
+of the readiness of the release process more than the stability of
|
|
|
+the code. As far as I'm aware, the code itself is perfectly fine: I
|
|
|
+certainly have plans for more features particularly around making
|
|
|
+code generation simpler, but you should feel confident about the
|
|
|
+parsing and serialization of messages produced with this version of
|
|
|
+the library. Of course, if you do find any problems, *please* report
|
|
|
+them at the web site.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Currently the downloadable release is built with the snk file which
|
|
|
+is in the open source library. I am considering having a privately
|
|
|
+held key so that you can check that you're building against a
|
|
|
+"blessed" release - feedback on this (and any other aspect of the
|
|
|
+release process) is very welcome.
