There have been two CTPs for the "Parallel Extensions to the .NET Framework 3.5" (readers of this blog will remember
November and
June).
Aligned with the recent
announcement about .NET 4.0 coming, the pfxteam
announced yesterday that
Parallel Extensions gets rolled into .NET Framework 4.0.
This is great news because it means that there should be no concerns from a deployment, support and future versioning perspective: it is the same as the .NET Framework :-)
IMO it is a misnomer now to refer to these bits as Parallel
Extensions since they are now part of the core: mscorlib.dll and system.core.dll. It is however still relevant to use the terms TPL and PLINQ, the two major components and that is what I did for the abstract of
my PDC session.
