As is often the case with Silverlight 1.1 news, it's the little things said in other contexts that clue us in to what to expect with upcoming releases. I hate to pull out the tea leaves, but I can't help it this time :)
In this post by Mke Harsh, he mentions that the team has put out the first Silverlight 1.0 service release. However, he also mentions this about 1.1:
In the midst of all the work our team has been cranking on for Silverlight v1.1 (controls, databinding, layout, templates, styling and a package based app model, phew!),
We've heard about the controls, databinding, layouts, templates and styling before. I'm really looking forward to them. However, "package-based app model" is a new one to me. That sounds very promising, assuming this is going to be a way to deliver segments of applications to the client and/or handle pay-as-you-go download functionality.
Silverlight is a very exciting product. I can't wait to see what the next revs will bring us :)
Now, as far as 1.0 fixes go, there are a couple that are huge, and have been on everyone's mind for a while. I'm especially glad to see these in there:
The first one (http redirects) is a question that has come up a lot on the Silverlight.net forums.
I would expect to see those in an upcoming refresh of 1.1 as well.
