SourceID.NET v.3 (Release Candidate) available for download

With the third interim release of SourceID.NET, the software is now 
stable enough to be considered a release candidate. Developers are 
encouraged to download and experiment with the software; the goal is to 
provide fast turnaround for developer issues, leading to a 1.0 release 
of SourceID.NET in one month.

New features in this third release include:

  * Many coding-standard changes recommended by the 'FxCop' tool on 
GotDotNet.com
  * Application-level configuration options are now read off of a 
Configuration class, which provides proper type safety.
  * All code is now signed, allowing for strong naming, insertion into 
the global assembly cache, and use by signed applications.
  * NAnt-based build system now available.
  * Improved documentation
  * Pre-packaged SP and IDP samples (as ZIP-files; these require a 
minimum amount of hand-installation)
  * resolved SDN-1 
<http://www.sourceid.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=SDN-1>, which 
pertained to error messages about not being able to find a certificate 
private-key.
  * resolved SDN-3 
<http://www.sourceid.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=SDN-3>, 
involving to interoperability issues resulting in verifying Xml 
signatures on deserialized objects rather than on the original sent XML.
  * timestamps sent now correspond to the recommended format for Liberty 
Alliance 1.1/SAML 1.0.
