Greetings, WebSync Patrons!

Well, we now officially have updated to a new website, and...after many months of hard work...

I'm pleased to announce the release of WebSync version 3.0!

In this release, you'll find:

  • Security enhancements in WebSync Server
  • Performance improvements
  • A new, much more powerful .NET client
  • A more powerful, easier to understand WebSync Server API
  • Support for custom extensions (keep an eye on our blog for more about this one!)
  • A brand new Silverlight client, written in 100% managed code - no more JavaScript bridge!
  • Support for the Microsoft Azure platform
  • An improved JavaScript client, with more support for HTML5 and even better cross-browser capabilities
  • Way, way more documentation!

...and much more! Keep an eye out on our blog for further updates and information, and as always, feel free to drop us a line via our Google Group if you have questions, thoughts, or just want to chat.

This is great news.  Congrats on the release.  When you say improved .NET client, and Silverlight without the bridge, does that perhaps mean you have a .NET library for making the long requests and handling the responses in-code?

Any more details on the HTML 5 support?

Exactly! It's full C#, no JavaScript required :).

We're currently using HTML5 in it's most basic form, using "postMessage" to cross domains while still using XHR requests, giving more flexibility and power (such as synchronous disconnects, etc).

We've got WebSockets and Server-sent events in the pipeline.
