Silverlight 5 RC is out

Silverlight 5 RC is available for download (Yes, I know, I'm a little late).

Silverlight 5 introduces some interesting features, including the following:

    P/Invoke (woot!)
    Custom MarkupExtensions (yay!)
    Implicit DataTemplates
    Ancestor RelativeSource binding
    Binding debugging
    Multiple OOB windows
    64-bit plugin

This release candidate marks another step towards SL/WPF feature parity. WPF developers are now at greater liberty to utilize their tried toolset within the (relatively) new framework natively, rather than resort to various workarounds (Arik's our own!).

As Tomer and I are actively trying to convince a customer to move their (nonexistent as yet) WPF client to Silverlight, this is great news received just in time!
