Silverlight Streaming upgraded to Beta 2

posted @ Tuesday, June 24, 2008 4:50 PM | 4 Comments

The Silverlight Streaming service has been upgraded to support Silverlight 2 beta 2 applications.

As a note to customers who were previously hosting Beta 1 applications for test purposes, as beta 1 is no longer a supported test platform for SLS. Authors should update/upload their applications using the latest Silverlight 2 bits. These are available (with the tools) from the Silverlight community site.

Silverlight 1 applications hosted on SLS are not affected by this upgrade and still supported of course.

Remember that you can also now directly upload a XAP file to SLS using the Manage Applications functionality and then it will dynamically create a manifest file for you – so you don’t have to even worry about packaging up things in some scenarios!

hi,
one problem: it seems(quite confident:D ) that SL does NOT backward- compatible. even when installed the newest version, view a page with an old version sl in it, require you to uninstall the newer version and install the older one. and since more and more sl pages out there, versions varied, I had to keep changing the version, which is really tired. any idea?

@unruledboy: SL is not backward compat with SL 2 Beta 1 -- that is correct. If you are viewing a Silverlight 1.0 site and finding issues, please report them to me.
