ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 RC Feature Matrix

ASP.NET AJAX has been factored into two separate downloads in preparation for the scheduled v1.0 release in January:

• ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 — Provides the core ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions and Microsoft AJAX Library for creating AJAX-style applications with either server-centric or client-centric development models. At final release, this package will be fully supported by Microsoft Premier Support Services.
• ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Futures December CTP — Provides features that extend the core ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 platform with additional functionality that remains under development. This package enhances the depth and breadth of the platform and introduces new ideas and concepts. Each release of this package is supported by the vibrant ASP.NET AJAX developer community and includes a Go-Live license for use in production environments.

For more details about changes and assistance migrating from the earlier CTP releases to the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 RC, see the Changes between the ASP.NET AJAX (“Atlas”) CTP and the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 RC whitepaper (also available as a Word document and a PDF document).
