Announcing the Atlas Control Toolkit July Update

Hot on the heels of the Atlas July CTP, we're proud to announce the availability of the latest update to the Atlas Control Toolkit.  We've now got 21 controls with more on the way!

We've added some cool new stuff to the Toolkit, and I'm excited to note that this release includes our first non-Microsoft contributed components, the PasswordStrengthExtender by Paul Glavich, and the FilteredTextBox by Christian Wenz!  We're definitely looking forward to future releases with more great community updates and additions like these!

We also had the good fortune to inherit the help of Pierre LaGarde, who works for Microsoft in France but did a month of work here on the Redmond campus over the summer and added some great controls as well: RatingControl, NumericUpDown, and PagingBulletedList.

There's also a fair amount of infrastructure work and bug-fixing that's been done as well.  We've gotten lots of great feedback from the community and are trying to address as many of those issues as we can.

Technically, we did a release in June (containing the Atlas June CTP) but discovered an issue with the Atlas bits, so we kind of kept it quiet until the Atlas fix came out, which now it has.

So download it, check out the new controls, ask questions, or report issues if you find them!
