1.0 Functional Changes

Platforms Dropped

  1. Windows XP for IA64
  2. Windows CE for PocketPC (ARM)

Build and Linkage Changes

  1. Debug bin directories (.NET 2005 only)

    Precompiled binary files that are built in the Debug configuration are now distributed in a separate directory. This applies to our .NET 2005 32- and 64-bit releases only. We have done this in order to maintain debug libraries for our CSharp-based tools. The binary directories are now named as follows:
