[UPDATE: I forgot to add the link to the project - http://www.codeplex.com/dlrscript/]
It took a bit of time for this release. In the end I had to take everything a step back (as well as there are probably a few "mid thoughts" in here as the release of SL2 Beta 2 caught me a bit by surprise... actually the changes to the DLR caught me more by surprise).
The step back is that we no longer get script code lines when there are issues. I’ll try to bring this feature back, but right now if it breaks, you’ll know it via an alert with a .NET error.
Future direction
I need some feedback on this. I’ve been thinking about scrapping any attempt at jscript compatibility and am thinking more about ecma3 support (DLRJScript has an ecma3 mode). The benefit there is that I could start focusing on building a better set of client-side APIs instead of a more compatible one. That said, I’m not sure how qualified I am at coming up with a "better" set of client-side APIs.
I do want some feedback though. Let me know what you think: jkimble-at-gmail.com.
