FYI there is a new release of XML-RPC.NET available.

This release fixes the problem I mentioned a couple of weeks ago whereby ASP.NET applications running under medium trust were experiencing VerificationExceptions (”Operation could destabilize the runtime”) when using XML-RPC.NET. I build a version with all switch statements containing more than a handful of conditions replaced by if-else statements and Kevin Harder at Telligent verified that this fixed the problem. This makes it possible to continue with a single build of the assembly which works on all versions of the .NET runtime.

The Monkey On Microsoft’s Back

"Poor Microsoft. This week, the Redmond, Wash., giant is gearing up for the next big release of its Web browser, a leap from Internet Explorer 7 to IE 8. When open-source competitor Mozilla released its last update of Firefox in June, the Web went wild: People downloaded more than 8 million copies in 24 hours. Microsoft's release might not have such a frat party feel. Even as it gears up to release IE 8, the developers behind the Firefox Web browser are experimenting with a new technology that sharpens the threat their browser software poses to Microsoft's most valuable businesses. The new technology, dubbed TraceMonkey, promises to speed up Firefox's ability to deliver complex applications." While many have abandoned Microsoft's browser offerings, Microsoft will be introducing an innovative new type of selective privacy mode called InPrivate with IE8.

The program is vastly praised by its users, but in order to feel the love you've had to run a Windows machine or a Mac box. Until now, that is. The latest release introduces various new attractions, and the one that interests me the most is support for a native Linux version."
