When will Silverlight 4 come out?

Mary Joe Foley at ZDNet speculates (from a slideshow) that VS2010 will be released in the April 2010 timeframe. Will Silverlight 4 make it to RTW by then?

What features will it have? Will Silverlight RIA be part of the SDK, or a seperate "Stable/Preview" library like parts of the Silverlight Control Toolkit?

Some things that have been anounced / rumoured so far:

You also might be able to guess what is coming next by looking at the highest voted feature requests.

Silverlight 4 beta 1 was announced at PDC last week and is available to download here.

As expected, printing support is included along with quite a few other features - Tim Heuer's blog, as ever, is a great source of info.

No word yet on final release date, but I would have thought that there would be at least 1 refresh of the beta.

Is it likely to be included with the VS2010 RTM (replacing Silverlight 3)?

Thursday, April 15th. A seperate download will allow VS2010 RTM to develop Silverlight 4 apps. WCF RIA Services are included.
