… Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 Releases …


April 18th is not the end of March, but in terms of release dates, it is
close! Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2005 was officially released for MSDN subscribers
to download. Beta two should be closer to feature complete for Visual Studio
2005. Additionally, it should be more stable than past CTPs and the prior beta.
Specifically, the Team System features should be much more stable.


If you are an MSDN subscriber, you have access to download the new beta. If
you are not an MSDN subscriber, you can order a CD/DVD directly from Microsoft
with the beta:


http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,1jrv,1,38ae,axod,jorm,i5r0


When I filled out the form available from the above page, the CD/DVD was free
and there was no shipping and handling. I don’t know how long it will take to
get the beta disk, but avoiding the long download from MSDN is worth a few days
wait.


Also announced was Microsoft SQL Server 2005 April CTP. This is the newest
release of bits for the next version of SQL Server. These are still pre-release
bits, so use them with caution. For a link on getting more information on this,
go to:


http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,1jrv,1,elnr,l3hq,jorm,i5r0


… WS-ReliableMessaging …


BEA, IBM, Microsoft and TIBCO today announced that they will submit the
latest version of WS-ReliableMessaging, comprising both protocol and policy
assertions, to the standards body, OASIS, as a part of the group.s commitment to
Web services reliability and interoperability.


WS-ReliableMessaging supplies the necessary protocols for guaranteeing that
messages within a distributed system will be received dependently, consistently,
and in the order in which they were sent. The co-authors of WS-RM are not
planning to charge royalties for its use.


Coincidentally, one of today’s recently published books (below) has coverage
of WS-ReliableMessaging if you are looking for  more information.
