Common Components™ News - Common Components™ SDK v1.5.0 now available.

Common Components SDK v1.5.0 is now available for download. This version comes with richer Reference options, a new object-lease-management framework, and some other gadgets.

Expanded Reference Support:

Two new types of References have been added: type-constrained and thread-local. The Reference interface has been split into two two base interfaces: readable and writeable. That last bit forced us to change the interface for Reference. Instead of having a property named "Value," it now has two methods: GetValue and SetValue. We hope this hasn't caused anyone too great an inconvenience but better now than later. The benefits outweigh the costs.

Lease Management:

This is the big block of new value added in version 1.5.0. Lease Management allows you to provide an easy interface to consumers of a resource while injecting as simple or complex an ownership management model as you like underneath.

Other Gadgets:

While we're not ready to call it a full-on framework, we've started laying the foundation of an Unstable Resource Management framework. Take a look at the UnstableResourceScope type.

FREE:

Common Components is still completely FREE.
