+1 Q:

MS Ajax Toolkit now on backburner?

The reason for the title is the last update of the toolkit happened on August of 2008.

http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=16488

Is Microsoft not interested in supporting this product anymore? I just found a nasty bug that caused 2 days of hair pulling that should have been fixed years ago regarding the tabs.

Does anyone have insight into their future releases/bug fixes?

+2 A:

If you look at the Source Control tab, you'll see that the project has been pretty active. The bug fix you're looking for might have been checked in sometime between August and Now.

I would suggest going through the check-ins or check out a copy of the latest source and try it out.

Are these builds stable? Thanks for sharing the link.

I've noticed that there are a lot of codeplex projects which haven't had an actual release in while which have still had a lot of activity. Latestly, I've been forgoing the Downloads tab and going straight to the Source Code tab to get something.

@chopps, unfortunately there is no guaranteee that the bits are stable, they probably either aren't stable, or haven't been fully tested yet. Otherwise, they would probably have released a new build.

Misfitgeek says there will be a new release soon....
