Microsoft XAML Toolkit CTP - July 2010

We have just released the Second CTP of the XAML Tool Kit.

There is still some work to do before the XAML Toolkit is at full release quality, so this is still labeled as a CTP. However, we are confident that it is stable, usable, and suitable for the majority of usage scenarios and can be used, at your discretion, in production apps (in accordance with the updated licensing terms).
There have been lots of issues fixed and  improvements to the XAML Toolkit since the November 2009 CTP and we intend to further improve it from customer feedback on this release. We invite you to try it out and let us know what you think!

The XAML Toolkit bits are available here.
