We are excited to announce the Google APIs .NET library 1.4.0-beta release.
There are amazing new features in this release, the library was upgraded to support .NET 4.0, and the core Google.Apis assembly is now a Portable Class Library (PCL, see below). We support now HttpClient as our transport layer and TPL for asynchronous tasks. Resumable upload was also improved and media download support was added to the library.
For users who run on .NET 3.5 or earlier versions of .NET framework, release 1.3.0 is still available for you to download from: https://google-api-client-libraries.appspot.com/download/library/[API_NAME]/[API_VERSION]/csharp?lv=1.3.0-beta.
